Chapter 0193, Fluctuations

When the news came that Chelsea were bidding 30 million for the summer trip, and when Arsenal and Manchester United followed suit,

Everyone thinks that in this winter transfer period, the summer trip will set off a bloody storm.

But everyone was wrong.

Early in the morning of December 18, three transfer offers were submitted to Leicester City's table and were also exposed by the media.

At noon on the same day, Leicester City held an official press conference.

Pearson appeared in the club's press conference hall with Xia Xing.

Along in the hall were Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

These two have also recently been rumored to be transferred, although they are not as volatile as Xia Xing, but they also have some impact.

Facing reporters, Xia Xing firmly said his thoughts.

'I joined Leicester last season and played in the Championship with the team.

'It was a fantastic experience to make it to the top and win the FA Cup.

"And this summer, I'm very happy to make my move to Leicester City official.

"Now, I just want to be able to do more miracles with the team.

'I won't be moving until then.

"That's all."

Vardy and Mahrez didn't speak, but their determined eyes said it all.

After the player's statement, Pearson also took a firm stand.

"We're not going to sell important players this winter.

"Because we are not short of money.

"Not only that, but we will continue to increase the number of reinforcements.

"Make the team more competitive.

"This season we are not aiming for relegation!"

Yes, everyone can see that Leicester City can't just fight for relegation.

To say that they can challenge for the league title is unlikely.

But a top-four spot in the league is still very promising.

And for players such as Xia Xing, Mahrez, and Vardy, reporters can also see it.

They are not destined to stay at Leicester City forever.

Especially the younger Xia Xing and Mahrez.

They have a lot of potential and will become world-class stars.

The future is promising.

However, at this stage, staying at Leicester City to continue training must be a better choice for them.

The transfer wave set off by Xia Xing has just started and ended.

However, because of this incident, Leicester City FC has moved forward with winter transfers more quickly.

For the current Blue Foxes, increasing bench depth as much as possible is something they have to do.

Now, it's even more important to speed things up.

The core players have all stated that they are going to go all out for the club, how can the club sit still?

Soon, a few signings were finalized.

The 23-year-old Croatian striker Kramaric transferred from Croatian powerhouse Rijeka for a transfer fee of 9 million euros.

The striker is not very tall, but he has excellent technique, passing and shooting well.

Veteran Chelsea goalkeeper Schwarzer has arrived on a free transfer, and the 42-year-old will bring more experience to Leicester City.

The 30-year-old German defender, who also has Blues roots, is on loan from Stoke City and will fill in the gaps in Leicester's defence.

There is a buyout clause attached to the loan contract, and the price of 4 million euros is also reasonable.

The targeted joining of these three players has strengthened three positions respectively.

The transfer fee of around 10 million euros was spent, which was also a good deal.

On January 1, 2015, they will officially join the team.

Some come, some leave.

The young Kramaric is here and the veteran striker Fletcher is gone.

He went on loan to Millwall in search of more playing time.

By the end of his loan spell, his contract with Leicester City had expired.

So this breakup, we will never see each other again.

There is also young striker Crosswood, who has offered to leave.

In fact, the club did not want to let him go, but he wanted more playing time and strongly demanded to leave.

Eventually, he returned to the Championship on loan at Ipswich Town.

Young goalkeeper Adam Smith is also gone.

The 22-year-old could not stay at Leicester City as the third goalkeeper and he chose to leave.

Then there's Nick Powell, who is on loan from Manchester United, who will also return to the Reds when his loan expires on 1 January.

He failed to live up to his talent at Leicester and failed to win a buy-out contract.

What awaits him will be to remain on loan from Manchester United.

The club left main players such as Xia Xing and Mahrez, cleaned up some fringe players, and made the lineup more reasonable.

However, the team's results have fluctuated a lot in recent times.

After the win over Manchester City, Leicester City will play a Premier League game in three days.

In the 17th, 18th and 19th rounds of the league, they faced West Ham, Tottenham and Hull City respectively.

All three matches ended in draws.

Because he had just finished playing for Manchester City, he was on the bench when he played West Ham.

But the overall performance of the team was extremely poor.

It ended 2-2.

If it weren't for Xia Xing's pass and shot, it would be difficult for the team to even take away a point away from home.

Three days later, against Tottenham, Leicester City played with all the main players.

However, Jamie Vardy was tackled by an opponent during the game and left the pitch unexpectedly.

This has frightened Pearson, who fears that Vardy will repeat the big injury he had suffered some time ago.

However, after the post-race inspection, it is not a big problem, just rest for a week.

But despite this, Leicester's rhythm was disrupted in this game.

Substitute Konoket was unable to fill in the void of Jamie Vardy's void and failed to score in a row.

In the end, Leicester City had no choice but to end 0-0.

This Christmas Eve, Blue Foxes fans are not in a good mood.

Three days later, against Hull City, Leicester City still failed to win.

Although the team is not in good form, it also has to rotate a lot.

In this game against Hull City, Pearson consciously let several departing players start or come off the bench.

In the end, the game was tied 3-3.

Chris Wood and Fletche scored a goal each, while Manchester United loanee Powell also scored from distance.

All three goals were assists from Xia Xing.

All three players also hugged Xia Xing affectionately after the goal.

As the team's veteran, the 33-year-old Fletcher has seen the team soar to the top of the Premier League for a long time, and he is already happy to qualify for the group stage of the Europa League.

As a Blue Fox veteran, he was content to leave the team.

And Chris Wood's departure is somewhat sad.

He's got talent, but he hasn't been able to find the best sense of goal.

After Kramaric joined, he left the team decisively.

After scoring the goal, he hugged Xia Xing tightly.

"Xia, thank you for giving me so many assists, it's a good feeling to play with you."

Another Manchester United player, Powell, is very gloomy when he leaves.

The end of this drift means the beginning of the next drift.

scored the equalizing goal, listened to the applause of the Leicester City fans in his ears, and hugged his former teammate Xia Xing.

Powell's heart was extremely sour.

What does the future hold......
