Muzzy_Larsson Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 16 hours ago, Finnegan said: Zlatant and Mandzukic are in their 30s, Rebic isn't and really hasn't ever been a prolific 9 and Leao looks largely underwhelming, exactly the sort of player he should be competing with if he's good enough to be here. Zlatan is going to play every week if fit, they've just signed Mandzukic so you imagine he'll be second choice, which would leave Edouard at best third choice for one striking spot. It would be a poor move on that basis alone and he probably wouldn't play anywhere near enough whether it be coming off the bench or starting games. Leicester would be a far better move.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 14 hours ago, HoustonFox said: Is he more similar in style to Vardy or Zlatan? Seems the latter in terms of skilful but stronger who can bring people into the game but also a good instinctive finisher. Question, would we need need to change our style if he played? Should we get him and do that or try and look for someone with qualities of Vardy who can grow into role (Malen?)? Asking cos I don’t know, not because I’m trying to make / score a point! Leao has been very hot and cold. Was great before he got injured. Still v raw. There’s some player in there Neither probably, he's more similar in style to someone like Thierry Henry. There's a post earlier in this thread where I explain in a bit of detail this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Leeds Fox Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 (edited) Iheanacho on the list of strikers that Leipzeg looking at for a loan this window according to Bild. Presume he wouldn't go unless we had a deal for eduoard sorted. Edited 20 January 2021 by North Leeds Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal record still looks really good He's been affected by injuries quite a bit this year. Nice have been shocking for a while too and I'd guess his confidence isn't sky high right now. For the national team, he's yet to really fire and I'm not sure he'd fit Leipzig's profile for a striker. He's not the explosive type - in fact, I'd say he's similar in style to Iheanacho.

Interesting - he was touted as the next big thing a few years ago. Have always wondered if he'd fit in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
