Popular Post Muzzy_Larsson Posted 16 May 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 16 May 2019 Seen him at close quarters when we played RBL in the Europa League this season, in fact he scored when we beat them 2-1. Looked a very decent player and lots of potential given he's so young. This would be the ideal type of signing as he has potential that can be developed which Rodgers is great at and is also good enough to give Vardy a rest when required. Because of his age I also think he'd be happy with such a role for the first year or two. Fits the profile of exactly the type of striker Leicester should be looking at imo. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipped to be Liverpool choice to fill their much needed Number 9 spot next season. Would describe him as straight out of the Vardy mould, high press, pacey etc etc. Not quite prolific yet but does a lot more for the team. Just to clarify i wasn't suggesting we could/would sign him... just that he is the reason for Augustin not starting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretPro Posted 16 May 2019 Share Posted 16 May 2019 Nacho looks fantastic on youtube. In real life he's worse than muck. Would steer clear of any of these 'he's got a lot of potential' type signings this summer, we've done enough shit business for a few years, time to focus on getting players in that WILL get us into the top 6.

Oh for sure! Just in the realms of world class forwards not quite there yet. Certainly think he’ll get there though! He hardly scored at all for Stuttgart and only got 13 last season but seems to have picked up a bit more this season with 16. People say the leagues are similar in Germany and England so if you take a 15 goals a season striker he’s below a fair few in the PL currently and will likely go for £70m plus. Hell of a prospect though... it’s the pace that’s his most valuable asset for me, so many clubs in the PL need a Vardy style chaser and he’s exactly that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
