Kelechi Iheanacho

[Aus Fox]

He’s magic, you know...

Time to show what you can do Kelechi, I am going to back him to get 5 goals whilst Vardy is out.

I don't think that chant works.

It’s to the tune of twist and shout if that helps...

Probably reading too much into it but noticed Kel appeared a bit more in the training vid and now an interview on the clubs socials hinting at a bigger role over the coming weeks. Can’t see a striker coming in now, think we’ll stick with Iheanacho and Perez for the time being, more likely to get an attacking midfielder alternative - Otavio anyone?

Good conclusion I reckon

No new striker..

No top 4 finish.

Simples.

[Vindaloo FOX]

Last season he got 10 goals in 26 appearances.

 

Not so bad for a squad player.

 

He seems like he is a confidence player, needs a arm around him every now and then.

 

Time for us to back him and BR to put that confidence in him.

So what's the formula to identify a striker at a fair price in Jan, that will definitely score more than Kel? 

 

Throwing dosh at this problem is no more likely to pay off, than playing Kel for a run of games. In fact playing the lad already integrated, in my opinion, is more likely to succeed.

Really? It’s that simple? Like when Vardy was out during the title winning season?

4-0 to the one man team!!! 

[murphy]

I think Iheanacho is the type of player that can look rank awful but then you look at his numbers and they're not all that bad.  He does score a few but tends to look dreadful doing it. 

 

[ARM1968]

I’m not expecting much, can’t see him scoring more than 3 in every game. Useless.

Ulloa was available and did the business. Not convinced Iheanacho or Perez can do the same!

Just to compare the 3 strikers you have mentioned:

Ulloa’s best season in the PL 11 goals in 37 games

Perez 12 goals in 37 games.

Iheanacho 8 goals in 26 games.

 

There really is not a lot of difference in terms of output between the three of them.

No way can you compare these, when different styles and service is considered

[Aus Fox]

Or total Premier League goals

 

Ulloa 86 games 18 goals a goal every 5 games

122 games 22 goals a goal every 6 games 

221 games 51goals a goal every 4.5 games.

 

All 3 have played many of there games off the bench, not sure if there is anywhere you can find minutes played per goal. 
Perez has also played many games on the wing.

By that logic, you can never compare two strikers based on goals scored.

You cant compare Shearer with Vardy as the whole premier league is different same as Ulloa and Iheanacho different type of player in a vastly different team

So how would you go about deciding who is the best striker in the Premier League?

Surely the best strikers, whatever their style score goals? To me that’s how you judge their performance.

Ulloa, Perez and Iheanacho are all very different types of player yes, but when Vardy is out, if they play as our main striker, their main job is to put the ball in the back of the nets and they will all be compared and judged on how many times they do this, regardless of their style.

The point im making is that Ulloa is not current and no one knows how he would play with Youri behind him supplying or keeping up with Barnes

[Webbo]

We are where we are. Vardy can't play so somebody has to take his place. If that's Iheanacho, we have to wish him well and hope he does the business. Moanings not going to change anything.

26 games/19 sub appearances 

for Man City who were the top scorers in the league that season.

 

ulloa 11 in 37 for a team that were 12th highest scorers in the league and were bottom until April and had won 4 games all season up until that point.

that season for Nacho was clearly an outlier as he has only ever managed 9 league goals in 81 appearances here

If Ade Akinbiyi was a flop in a team not half as good as this one with 11/58

 

what does it say about Nachos time

Nothing we already don't know, he is shit for us.

 

But we need him to perform, let's all pray to the gods, sacrifice whatever animals or maidens we need to to ensure we still continue to win.
