Newcastle sacked off Shearer when he was a teenager. Didn't stop him going back and becoming a legend there. If it's another step up the career ladder he'd be interested. Likewise Sheff Wed and Vardy. I'm sure he'd join them if we let him go. Edited 19 January 2021 by Raw Dykes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez had one half decent season in 4, Bamford has been poor and a journeyman throughout his career until this season and its only halfway through. Would want to see how he performs the rest of this one and the next before making the same mistake twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen him a few time and is really starting to find his feet in la liga. He reminds me of Zlatan, beyond the obvious that they’re both Swedish.

Poco Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 It would never happen, but Inaki Williams from Bilbao would be a great fit. Plays upfront on his own, strong, quick and knows where the goal is. Apparently, he's got an insane release clause (like so many at Spanish clubs) but, with a top four finish, who knows...? (possibly been playing too much FM 😅) (Ivan Toney or Tammy Abraham would be my more realistic choices) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d cost a small fortune though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightforever Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 (edited) What do you want? Do you want a Costa type striker who brings people into play? Do you want another Vardy type? Do you want a false 9? Ideally we'd want an all round striker but realistically we won't get one. In my opinion take Karlan Grant and mold him into what we want him to be has all the attributes needed just needs some decent coaching and with the new training ground we can facilitate that and he would be happy to sit on the bench for a while. No way we have the money to buy anyone near the finished article. Be realistic about this and don't suggest players like Malen or Belloti who would cost 30 million plus.

Fox85 Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 (edited) Vardys long term replacement is Monacos Pietro Peligri or West broms Karlam Grant. Karlam Grant is going to be a special talent. I dont know why people are to concerned what will be will be Vardy is 1 in a million and we may never find a replacement for him. However we now have a team of goal scorers and we don't just rely on 1 person. The difference to now and 10 years ago when we only really hoped the strikers did the business is fundamental to the way we play. Our scouting team would of been looking for suitable replacements 2 years ago they seem to take their time and not many finished products will come to play behind Vardy in the pecking order Edited 19 January 2021 by Fox85 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said for the last few windows that he's who we should be looking at. But he wont want to come in and sit on the bench for the next 18-24 months watching Vardy. He'll want to be the main man. Which is where we are going to struggle finding a replacement. Anyone who comes in will need to be as close to world class as our budget will allow, but whoever is is will want to come in and be the first name on the teamsheet straight away. We wont properly replace Vardy until he either retires or begins to seriously slow down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 I think we need a striker who can hold the ball up and bring the runners in to play like Barnes, Maddison, Under when fit. Vardy is a 1 off and we could never replace him like for like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJS84 Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 Malen and Thuram would be my first picks, and Malen is rapid. Isak would be a good shout, maybe not as quick as the other two, and possibly needs another couple of season to prove he is good enough at the top level.

Dusty Posted 19 January 2021 Share Posted 19 January 2021 We must be scouting strikers all year round, and have a long shortlist of potential players we’re interested in. I have really high expectations of who we’ll bring in as I’m sure he will have been thoroughly scouted over the last couple of years. Have to suspect it will be a young striker with lots of potential as that’s the sort of player that Brendan loves, Malen, Bodau, Espositio etc. Similar to what wolves have done with silva, and yanited with diallo.
