Jens Petter Hauge going to Milan for £4m has pissed me right off. Benrahma? RW/LW: Under, Barnes, Benrahma, Albrighton ST: Vardy, Iheanacho, Perez
Ric Flair Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Just now, Shane said: Benrahma? RW/LW: Under, Barnes, Benrahma, Albrighton ST: Vardy, Iheanacho, Perez Hmmmm I just don't see us spending £25m on him or him being comfortable with the role of a squad player but I'd love him here.

teblin Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 If we want a back up striker. What about strurridge on a free?

Iheanacho is ideal back up standard and Perez is effective there too. Barnes in a 2 would be promising as well. More of an area to address next summer I reckon. I think you are underestimating Iheanacho, I think given a run in the side he would produce the goods.

Happy Fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 2 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Mandzukic is the one He was offered to Manchester United but they rejected the proposal and have since gone for Cavani, he wouldn’t be a bad option to bring off the bench!
Nick Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 If Vardy gets injured the reality is we don’t have a replacement in a 4141 - we’d have to change the system and go two up front as none of Nacho, Barnes or Perez are fit to play as anything other than second strikers. The cold hard truth of it is we need a young striker to play and learn getting the last 5/10 minutes of games and slowly grow and develop or we need a superstar who’ll come on loan or just sign for a year who will be prepared to sit on the bench and play cups. Still shitting it we could end up with Lingard in the dressing room if we don’t do either of the above but he’d be better than nothing.
Happy Fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Maupay would have been perfect for us, we should have taken the gamble when he was at Brentford.

Done well at youth level & is probably never going to break through ahead of Aguero/Jesus.

Nick Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 10 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Ricky-Jade Jones Nowhere near ready yet for me. I’m not sold on the hype in all honesty. Needs a season or three in a decent Championship side.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 We have a very capable back up in Nacho. He was really good last season when required. Arguably we are now holding his development back by the stop/start nature of his selections. Save the Dosh and give Kel some more minutes.
Merging Cultures Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 What I am seeing so far from this season is that goals are now coming from across the team and we are not just relying on Vardy. This is the perfect situation imo. I am pretty happy with the squad at the moment. Can't wait to see Under and Fofana.
Pliskin Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 We’ve looked, but Rodgers is satisfied with the options we have if we don’t land a striker. The signing of Under will hopefully take the pressure off that department, mainly because of his ability to drive into the box, there won’t be aimless crosses constantly be thrown in for defenders to head away, so in theory Kalechi should benefit from this as would Perez, so I think we’re actually okay for now, gives us time to look for a proper Vardy replacement. I just hope that we look at AZ before little Myron gets snapped up by Real Madrid!
TiffToff88 Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 It's a difficult problem to solve. We need a top striker who knows he'll be sitting on the bench watching Vardy most weeks. How many strikers fit that criteria? Iheanacho will never be a top premier league striker, but he's very capable of being Vardy's backup for the time being. When Vardy starts to slow down, that's the time to buy a new star striker.
