The Doctor Posted 4 December 2018 Share Posted 4 December 2018 If we're talking non-striker strikers I do reckon Iborra could do a job up there. Good in the air and with his feet, offers us a target for crosses and might link up alright. 4-6-0 lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mancunianfox Posted 4 December 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 4 December 2018 Discussion on whether or not Iborra, Maguire or Big Wes would be better up front is making me nostalgic for when we were worrying about Iheanacho having a buy back clause in his transfer. 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmeichel ain't bad with his head (should've had that goal in the championship), pretty adept with his feet, and there's no denying he'd give it 110%. Plus it'd be a laugh. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both will be desperate to play against Ranieri. Soyoncu will come in for Evans. In times like these its down to the manager to put his foot down. We can't afford losing Vardy for the Christmas period and Fulham is a game we can win without him. I say if he is a possibility, have him on the bench, bring him on if we need to. No point aggravating the injury when he might already need surgery on it. Also, what message would it send to Iheanacho if he didn't play? Vardy could need surgery and yet he's still not getting a game. You'd probably be fed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not too worried yet. Perhaps Ben Foster thought this when he thought he would get to Chilwell's through ball first as well. He has probably been dealing with this injury on and off through the whole season and he has still been one of the best strikers in the division. I was quite surprised that Vardy didn't come off after tweaking his groin against Watford, especially as we were 2-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he skipped the Spurs cup game which gave him about 10 days. I had the same surgery from the same surgeon. He does a lot of sportsman (Kasper as well at one point). However, it shouldn't re-occur after surgery. So it might be something different in his groin. Vardy might just be weak in that area and all the training/games are now starting to show. It's all about management at his age now and getting the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted 4 December 2018 Share Posted 4 December 2018 I would imagine the injury scares are a touch overblown. Maybe Vardy on the bench again as at Brighton. No Okazaki lone front man this time please Claude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
