brucey Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 (edited) We have lost the option of booting it out in the general direction of the right flank for Mahrez to bring it down with his first touch. Musa however will give us back that option, booting it in the general direction of the left corner flag for Musa to chase it down with his ridiculous speed. It can come in useful in some match situations. Edited 30 July 2018 by brucey 1 3

Rialto 290352 Posted 30 July 2018 Posted 30 July 2018 I'm another who is keen to see if Musa can be a useful forward player for us this season? I would be tempted to start with both of the Nigerian forwards and then bring on JV later depending on how the game is going. Advantage being that both KI and AM are used to playing together and can be effective. Also as JV is not getting any younger he would be able to use his speed when he came on. I know this will not happen and I am only playing Devils Advocate here but it would be the best way to utilise Musa perhaps?

Confused icon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! musa isn’t good enough a couple of strong runs at the World Cup and players are apparently world beaters he needs a run of games at the very least to unlock some consistency and he won’t get that with us - need to cash in on him now 1

I know you're spit balling but the best way to use Musa is not for us to drop our best player for him.

Some pace will be lost bit he will still be quick. Vardy or Musa? Rat up a shit pipe with finesse or headless chicken who is really quick at being a headless chicken?

I'm amazed how many people who have witnessed this with their own eyes and would now refuse an offer to almost get our money back on the strength of one game against Iceland. Just sell him for £12m to the Saudi club. We have a bloated squad with too many players on big wages who we can't get offers for, lets not refuse good offers for squad players because they might do something. With that attitude you'd never sell anyone. 3

I remember reading on the Sheff Utd forum one of their fans wondering who he was because he was the worst player on the pitch. I was at that match and the Leicester fans had given up on him by mockingly singing "we're on the pitch if Musa scores". TBF to him he played quite well second half but first half he looked like a competition winner. 1
danfox76 Posted 1 August 2018 Posted 1 August 2018 is it me or does Musa look alot happier this preseason.. i've been looking through the preseason pics on the lcfc website.. he looks more settled and alot happier.. plus when i've see him play in the minutes he's had so far he looks really up for it.. another chance for Musa maybe?

It’s not just you mate - I also thought the same. I really hope he comes good.

He's likely to be the most sellable out of him, Ulloa, Slimani, Mendy, King, Benalouane, Kapustka so although there's an argument he should be given one last chance, on the back of a half decent world cup and a good loan spell at CSKA his stock has risen and we ought to cash in. 2
MPH Posted 1 August 2018 Posted 1 August 2018 (edited) I can’t help but feel that Vardy is one injury away from losing a bit of pace.... Edited 1 August 2018 by MPH 1

Even when he loses his pace, Vardy will be a good player. Yes he is lethal on the counter attack, but he's also an excellent finisher. He scored plenty of goals last season from traditional open play / poaching and not just bombing on. I'm not saying he's Shearer 2.0, but Jamie Vardy is far more than just pace. 2
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 1 August 2018 Posted 1 August 2018 Just now, MPH said: I can’t hekp but feel that Vardy is one injury away from losing a bit of pace.... He might only be one year away from losing his pace. Having said that, he's already evolved in to a more complete striker over the last couple of years, one that is less reliant on his pace. If he continues to do that, he'll be good for a few years yet. 1

He’s not a great technician in terms of close control and watching him for England it’s clear he struggles to get into games where that space is taken away. Granted as a fox in the box he could still do a job but a lot of his main game would be gone. 1

Players sometimes take a season to settle - he has had two we will get a lot less next summer for him 1
