Imagine what Iheanacho would have done! I'm assuming the answer involves the word row and letter z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what Mitrovic is. He wouldn't suit us in the ****ing slightest. We basically need to find a Vardy clone to replace him, someone fast that's great on the shoulder. I know everyone's been obsessed with Plan B for ages but it's such a stupidly out dated concept. Where's Liverpool's 6ft 2 big lump or Man City's? Decent teams don't need some giant slow battering ram up front to win headers and flick ons in panic mode, it's just dumb. This, all of this.

Mitrovic - 10 goals (Vardy has 13, Rashford and Martial also have 10 each) in 32 games for a side that has just been relegated. 23 goals for Serbia in 47 appearances. Only 24.I rest my case, me lord Edited 5 April 2019 by 49er Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is completely incompatible to us and would end up drawing similar criticism to Slimani as @Finnegan rightly pointed out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Chilwell, Ricardo, Barnes and Gray wouldn't welcome the addition of a tall striker at the far post to aim for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don’t think they would. Im saying it would pan out in exactly the same way it did for Slimani, where he would be expected to link and feed as a 10 and he doesn’t possess the quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC86 Posted 6 April 2019 Share Posted 6 April 2019 Would be a decent signing but I can’t see him wanting to come here. We play with Vardy on his own and he will want to start week in week out. He will go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 6 April 2019 Share Posted 6 April 2019 Would rather go in for Rondon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analysethis Posted 6 April 2019 Share Posted 6 April 2019 Im thinking of forwards under Rodgers and cant think of immobile pace-less target men who need 5 chances to grab one goal as being his type. Decent player in the Championship but always looks out of his depth in the prem as he did at both Newcastle and Fulham. Ive seen him miss a shed load of chances and quite a few sitters so I cant see any reason why we go for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle won't sell unless it's Slimani figures for their no.9 unless they go down and he turns 30 in September. We should've got him when Ulloa went, we still haven't replaced him - it probably came down to wage structure issues. We need to bin off Slimani somehow, still two years left on his contract being paid bank for absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a cock up from Newcastle, West Brom still might pop up through the play-offs although unlikely. Move Slimani on in any feasible fashion first, and Rondon would then be an excellent addition to the front-line, might not start every game but he'd be an important player here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 6 April 2019 Share Posted 6 April 2019 A striker of Mitrovic's skill set would be handy but I'd be looking to pick up a target man for cheap as our 3rd choice striker. Okazaki is going and I suspect Iheanacho will if anyone is mad enough to take a punt so then we get a more dynamic support striker to challenge Vardy.

This would be ecstatic if we signed Haller from Frankfurt aswell as Adams from Brum. Releasing Okazaki & either selling or loaning out Kelechi.
