Everyone is allowed their own opinion and I accept you don't think much of his abilities. I was merely pointing out the apparent disparity between your persona of the Voice of Reason and your somewhat abrupt description of his abilities. I very much doubt if he's sh*t. He's a professional footballer so by definition is likely to be better than (probably) 99% of everyone on here. Certainly he will be better than me - because I am really sh*t - but I've never seen him. Each to his own, but I do find that a reasoned argument works better than simple abuse. You never know you might persuade me. I mean it wasn't abuse it was an observation, calling him shit is within the context of looking through the looking glass of a club who has desires to continue playing in Europe, not sure why you'd take it so literally. He's in the championship still for a reason, if he was a top player he'd have been able to have gotten moves earlier on the window like Ake and Wilson.
Popular Post FOXYTALK Posted 6 October 2020 Popular Post Posted 6 October 2020 Welbeck is worth a risk, even if a short term deal. He would be a relief striker to take the pressure of Vardy playing two games a week, and a plan C to possibly play with Nacho give another formation with 2x up front. 1 2 11

Surely we would need a plan b before we consider a plan c. But in all seriousness, Welbeck is a dreadful shout. 2

jmono84 Posted 6 October 2020 Posted 6 October 2020 I’ve always liked King more than Wilson because he’s a right handful and usually plays behind the striker. Think he’s the type of option we need when Vards isn’t getting a look in. He’s an upgrade on Pérez playing behind the striker 3
Leicester_Loyal Posted 6 October 2020 Posted 6 October 2020 8 hours ago, The Horse's Mouth said: Average numbers and a player who isn't going to improve, he had a purple patch which skewers that a bit. I'd have took wilson but this is would just be more deadwood to shift in a year or twos time, we should be buying players to improve the first 11 not the players on the bench(and id still take kelechi over him) Our issue with the striker position is that no matter who we sign, they won't be in the first 11 unless we're playing 2 strikers. Vardy is top dog and unless he's injured he will be for at least another 2 seasons (this and next).

So whoever we buy in that position is unlikely to be a Grade A player. 2 hours ago, ealingfox said: 7 pages out of someone posting one of their own tweets with no links or quotes Purely out of curiosity, why would "links" or "quotes" make any difference?

Vardy is top dog and unless he's injured he will be for at least another 2 seasons (this and next). Does that have to be the case though? With Shinji, Slimani and on a few occasions Kelechi last season, we played with two strikers. Vardy playing up front on his own is something we've mainly seen post-title win. Kane and Son are currently tearing it up as a staggered front pair, so it's not a thing of the past. King would likely be backup based on his similar abilities to Vardy, but the point still stands.

Exactly, so there's no point continuing to keep buying backups, the amount of strikers we've been through since the title win has been mad. Kelechi is adequate cover, if both went out we could always play Perez there. The calibre of player we should be buying won't want to be second fiddle to vardy we agree on, so that effectively means we're buying deadwood for the sake of a potential injury down the line which we do have cover for. 2

According to Wiki he has 72 over in 324 appearances in all comps in his career. He got 3 in 20 appearances at Watford, he's just not worth it. He's never been as good as the hype suggested, is a croc and will have pretty high wage expectations too.
hackneyfox Posted 7 October 2020 Posted 7 October 2020 I think people rate him because he's scored against us.

I don't rate him, but I thank him for "that" goal he scored against us. We all know what happened after that and the extra motivation it gave our boys seeing how they acted in the dressing room after the game. Hazard > Welbeck
Scotch Posted 7 October 2020 Posted 7 October 2020 King is in advanced talks with WBA for £10m apparently.

He’s a great player at this level who would be happy with playing squad football. Nothing beats the window we signed Shinji, Fuchs and Kanté.

Or are we just keeping him as only as potential if needed?
