AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 I'd love it if Musa found that form with us. Mutha fuchin G 1
brucey Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 Would make sense to keep now, between Vardy's dodgy groin and the possibility of a formation change to wide strikers instead of wingers
MC Prussian Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 What is it with Nigerian newspapers, their online editions and their use of English? "Frenetic Moves" "spirited bid" "cushion effects" "stellar showing"
Ric Flair Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 If we are going to change formation then I'd keep him as he could alternate with Iheanacho when played alongside Vardy with Maddison just behind.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 If he played like he did in the WC he'd be a star But unfortunately his good spells have only so far lasted about two games in succession, the rest of the time he's been awful. I don't know, I want him to do well, but now is the best time to cash in for him and I'd rather we did that.

Probably not come to think about it, this is the thing, even though we've seen him good and bad, we've never actually given him a prolonged run in the side, but that's been because he's been so awful in the previous game you couldn't really afford to carry him in the next should he perform the same. I'd still rather sell than keep unfortunately.

I'd still rather sell than keep unfortunately. We've given other players multiple opportunities after appearing poor, you have to have faith in a player and give them time to settle and acclimatise both on and off the pitch and not just rely on what you see on the training pitch of short cameos otherwise why bother bringing in new players. I don't know whether he'd come good or not but I question whether he's been given a fair crack at proving it, likewise with Krameric, Mendy and others. 1

All valid points, I remember last season a lot of the players saying he was having a really good pre-season and then nothing came of it. At the end of the day If the boss wishes to give him another go then I'd support it, like I say, I hope he does do well. 1
Shane Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 His best two games for us was at LW (against Palace and Spurs). Maybe it’s time we finally replaced Lloyd Dyer...

sphericalfox Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 Think he might get a chance in pre-season. Vardy is going to need rest and his groin issue will be monitored (esp if it's a recurrence of previous). I think we might actually see him play upfront with Nacho behind in our friendlies. If it doesn't look like working out, or he shows he's not interested, then sell him off. 1

We've got 3 games so it would make sense to try and create an understanding between the two before the season starts.

Hmm, you do realise that's next to impossible. Why not utilise a pairing that already has an understanding to get some wins or certainly some positivity for the team. We're likely to sub heavily at half time for all three games anyways.

Not certain that Maddison is fit at the moment. He may not be ready for preseason, though I have read he should be fine by the time the actual season rolls around.
mozartfox Posted 5 July 2018 Posted 5 July 2018 Let's give him a chance as we ain't can get all our money back if and when we bin him. We have nothing to lose unless some Club comes in now and offers silly money on the back of the two goals against Iceland.

You’ve made a very good point, England at the earliest will be playing two weeks before our first pre season friendly. Suspect Maguire and Vardy will struggling to make the first game of the season.

Maddision also has an MCL knee injury..cant see him being fully fit for 1st game as its 5 weeks on Saturday. Edited 5 July 2018 by les-tah
