foxfanazer Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 Would be strange if he was allowed to leave now

ronnup Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 Couldn’t blame him as he’s not first choice. But I can’t see it. He must’ve known that he’s behind Vardy when he came. This lad’s the future ??

Not exactly true but the point is the same. He wants to play and it’s going to be very difficult for us to give him enough game time unless we qualify for Europe.

Why, Puel has given the lad an opportunity and he's shown he has delivered. Why is it a given Vardy starts every prem game when most of the other players get rotated?
Stadt Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 I'm a fickle bastard, at the start of the window I'd gladly have sold him but a few goals against lower league opposition in the cup and now I'm a fan again 1

Rotated? kasper - nope maguire - nope morgan - nope ndid - nope mahrez - nope vardy - nope more than half the team have yet to be rotated/dropped for the PL . Kelechi has only been given a chance in the cup games. Vardy has come off in a couple of PL fixtures and KI hasn’t come on.

Assuming Vardy continues to start consistently for us for another two years.

Against certain sides I think it would make sense to give him a rest and to change our style
splinterdream Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 I think up until what I think was the Fleetwood game, where slimani was pulled Puel didn't know which striker he was keeping. Then came the statement that nacho was staying and now he scores another brace and to add to it looked to link up with Diabate like they've played a season together. Puel looks to be a good man manager, he's also says (from what I've read) he wants to give nacho more game time, he must be thinking he needs to give Nacho so game time in the first 11, so he either plays him with vardy or drops vardy 1
VLC86 Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 Massive backtrack from me but we shouldn’t sell him. If we figure out a way to get him alongside Vardy we have two fantastic finishers.
st albans fox Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 Have we tried him in the middle 4-2-3-1 behind vardy ?
Mrfox452 Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 I love Vardy but there will be a time we have to try something different. Do we give Nacho a run of games? And use Vardy as an impact sub? There's a chance in the long term he's better than Vardy? Last thing I wanna see is a player leaving and fulfilling his potential elsewhere. It'll be interesting to see what Puel's does, good problems to have though. 1
brookfox Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 Probably just his agent after a new contract following a few goals!
sylofox Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 He cant go anywhere until we offer him back to man city.
Manc Fox Posted 28 January 2018 Posted 28 January 2018 Don’t think we’ve played Iheanacho up top with Vardy apart from that friendly for his debut. My memory is a bit cloudy but didn’t he get an assist for Vardy & then got injured a little later In the match & we never saw them partner up again???? Would be nice to give them a few games together & see what develops. 2

It would be a real shame if we eased off our reliance on Vardy to building a team based around Nacho, only to have him taken off us suddenly. The buy back clause lasts 4 years, do we try and pace his development keeping him below the threshold of being worth Man City buying him back? 50m is nothing to them, particularly considering inflation over those 4 years.

Might be proven to be wrong, hope I am, but I just don't see Nacho in any position other than a 9 right now. He is a natural finisher, that's his biggest attribute, drop him behind a striker and it's castrating a huge part of his game. Okazaki runs himself into the ground pressing, breaks up play when we lose the ball up top. Slows down the counter-attack against us and links the play when he's not on his backside. The main criticism of Okazaki, although this season he has been better is he doesn't score enough which Nacho would be an upgrade on, but everything else that Okazaki does is not really in his game yet. If he could be coached to do all that, and he's still young enough to be able to possibly then we would have a heck of a player. Just can't see it coming quickly and a lot of the fans would be on his back calling him a flop while he was learning to play that role, it wouldn't come overnight. 1
Bablemikey Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 It's good to have 2 number 9's with different strengths. Gives Puel another viable option up top. As others have alluded to, maybe he'll be a better choice in some games. One thing that it definitely does do is give the opposing manager something more to think about - does he setup to defend the ball in behind for Vardy or defend the balls played through the midfield and wide men for Nacho. I hope he continues to improve and gives us that second option.

Cross Shinji and nacho and you get a Suarez/Sanchez type player. Shinji will never be a finisher like KI and he will never be able to press and harry like Shinji does 1

Hahahaaa 2 weeks ago Puel said he was going nowhere. He's since scored 4 goals in 2 games and looked the boy and now Puel is going to loan him out? Absolute pony. 3
elvisfmcfly Posted 29 January 2018 Posted 29 January 2018 Well he can’t go out on loan we need him,as it looks like the decision as been made with Slimani,tough shit he stays and fights for his place,Puel picks on merit,so he has a chance here.
