I can only remember him contributing in the Peterboro FA cup game last season. I dont think we have ever had a player that has contributed so little in such a long period. Just cant make up my mind what it is down too, sometimes its just wrong player at the wrong club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 Latest victim of the LCFC striker graveyard. I'm terrified of what will happen when Vards can't get 15-20 goals a season anymore. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very disturbing concept, no one is going to come here while Vards is here, because (rightly) they will barely get a look in, but eventually a replacement will be needed and if we have not developed a youngster then we are going to have a helluva job even finding a top 6 (coz thats what we'll be ) replacement striker. Hmm maybe ill just worry about that bridge when it arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime_Coatsworth Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 I think we'll find it hard to get rid of him as he looks out of his depth in the Premier League, but I’m sure he’s on crazy wages. Get him on a loan deal somewhere, maybe let the Baggies have him. or Forest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simoken Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 I have defended him heavily in the past but after that clear-cut miss at such an important stage in the season that could of gave us 7th. If we ever want to push for top 6, we cannot do it with him. I'm am officially done with the guy, I don't want his attitude near our 1st team again. #seeya 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 Got to the stage where I feel sorry for him now, he has just lost any confidence he ever had. It would be unfair to witch hunt him on the basis of yesterdays chance, every striker misses a sitter but its a combination of all we've seen this season. People might say give him pre-season but he had a positive pre-season last year and we all felt he'd turned a corner. Comfortably our worst ever signing, unfortunately.

Bazly Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 LC has always performed best with little strikers, the most celebrated of course are Lineker and Vardy. Clumpa Lumpas just aren't our game apart from Steve Walsh and maybe the clumpa lumpa to beat all clumpa lumpas, our man Heskey. What we really need is a midfield that can contribute 25 goals a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusko187 Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 For a long time, I've defended him and thought he would come good but it's just not materialised. I'd feel encouraged if I felt his work rate was high but he's just aimlessly jogging around and if anything when brought on we may as well have played with 10 players. Time to go I'm afraid Kelechi, means we will have to buy 2 strikers but so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoopid Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 Shows how vital confidence is for a footballer - as for anything else. The lad is clearly suffering horribly from its absence. As others have pointed out, he's a young man, slightly immature, and a lot of his perceived arrogance and 'attitude' is probably a bit of a defence mechanism. The intense scrutiny on last night's miss might be a death blow for his confidence, but... I still think there's a player there somewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieTodger Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 I thought finishing was his best asset until that. Really want him to do well, but he's got no future here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 I've always defended him by saying that he is a finisher and that if we provide, he will finish. Even that sounds ridiculous to say out loud now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ren Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 Can't remember a player getting so much stick from the away end as he did after that miss. I've had an open mind to him coming good so far but that was the last straw for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 As others have said it’s not just that miss it’s the stupid things like needlessly fouling the Man City player going nowhere or standing offside at a free kick late in the game at Newcastle. Just kills any momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 ....the real surprise on this forum is the disbelief that he failed to take the chance. We have seen him making cameo appearances and has been woeful. Why we expected him to put that away I really do not know. Brendan has consistently had him on the bench but I suspect going off previous team sheets prior to his arrival and 7th place still available.Whatever he has shown in training must have convinced Brendan that he could be an asset off the bench. This, now in hindsight has shone a light on Nacho and a rapid assessment now needs to be done by BR to confirm, if we need to offload this summer. The chance last night came to his best foot, he tried to bend it into the right side of the goal and it would have been a great finish had he executed, the fact that he failed to hit the target and even to elicit a save from the keeper was some what disappointing. I have said it before, that Nacho is screwed at Leicester, he does not suit the way we play and is not a replacement for Vardy as he cannot play the lone striker role,lead the line etc. We do need to offload this summer for both our sakes and bring in someone busting a gut to prove that they want to be here.

ScouseFox Posted 7 May 2019 Share Posted 7 May 2019 my favourite part of the season i think. the way his body language didn’t change from the start to the end of the whole move was just superb. had so many mates fuming that hed missed on purpose. was like no fellas he is literally just that rubbish.
