We planning on just not playing any strikers long term or what?

Do you mean the white shirt with blue trim? 

[foxy boxing]

an attacking midfielder who scores goals, are we going to be like Spain with loads of possession and no strikers!

[Guest]

With how Vardy is playing at the moment, we are a team without strikers. 

[Clever Fox]

He looks like a young top quality player, just the kind we need, players who are on the way up.

Get this done quick.

The lad’s barely played any games, I’d hope we aren’t spending that sort of money on him. Normally I detest the “we nud prooven playurs” idea but we need a player in their prime ready to make an immediate impact, another 21 year old player that can play anywhere behind the striker doesn’t offer much we don’t already have.

 

I’m probably giving too much credence to the rumour but if it’s true what does he offer that Barnes doesn’t? 

 

Lozano is more the kind of player we should be looking at (I’d imagine we have) but I’m not sure how realistic that is 

[North Leeds Fox]

Got to be decent to play in that Spanish midfield. Could be another great young player with potential that we seem to be targeting at present.

I'd prefer to see Barnes break through but if this lad is good then why not.

Barnes, Maddison and Mendez behind Gray. Hahaha its Puel's revolution.

Depends how you define a striker. Aguero is not your typical English PL league striker.

 

Perhaps Puel's intention is to move to a front 3 after all Gray and Ghezzal have been tried up front and Albrighton has been relegated to the bench a few times and Vardy is finding it difficult to fit in.

[NasPb]

He has played the majority of his games as a right winger this year.

[kingfox]

We need this lad because Ghezzal and Iheanacho are crap.

[The Doctor]

Long term it'd give us more than Albrighton does creatively. Gray/Barnes-Maddison-Mendez is a good looking 3 (very young, lot of flair) behind a striker

Need a top class striker before anything else

Um... When?

Yes please.

Well more centrally I suppose. But by up front I meant like a front 3 behind Vardy which the way we play is essentially 3 up front as Vardy rarely gets a touch.

Has Vardy been playing? I hadn't noticed!

[volpeazzurro]

Seem to be collecting midfielders. If we can get rid of Silva , Iborra and King and recoup a bit of money on them perhaps. Top will be looking to improve his squad perhaps but not just fritter yet more money away on collecting precious exotic shiny things. As many say, another striker is required as more of an immediate priority because Iheanacho doesn't cut the mustard. 

[FoxNotFox]

Maybe Puel doesn't see the need for out-and-out strikers. I think he prefers his players to be more roundly skilled, more multifaceted. Strikes me too that he wants his attacking players to roam across the pitch, so they're not classic wingers nor no. 10s but can all play those roles as required during a game. I think that's why we see the positional interchange behind Vardy. 

 

I reckon Vardy's having to change his game and that's why he's not as effective as previously. We're not shaping for him these days and neither are we looking to in the future. He'll be phased out unless he can adapt, and maybe that's the end of us having a nominated striker.
