Striker

Why haven't we signed a replacement striker by now. An established team like us.

 

I'm frustrated on two fronts

 

1) Why has it taken so long to get a replacement given vardy's age and with 2 years contract left. Nacho's contract is up next summer and I think it highly unlikely that he'll remain here.

 

2)  What do people think about how long we take and how much it might cost for a main striker and back up striker? I say backup as nacho will be off next summer. I know people on here are referencing another DM, another defender, a right winger which will cost say the same as under whether he fails or not. 

 

We have had a lot off of the books lately and will have more this summer and next. Then there's covid added in for good measure.

I've said this several times. Our fans will expect nothing less than a world class striker to come in for Vardy when he retired. But until then, you won't find a too striker who will be willing to come in and sit in the bench for the next 18 months or so. 

 

We won't bring in another top striker until it's clear that Vardy won't be playing as much

We are not gonna find a good striker and ask him to be a backup.

 

We are looking for someone to replace Vardy, so that’s scoring 15+ league goals a season, and that type of player won’t sit on a bench until Vardy retires.

My main problem is that we don't have a striker similar in style to Vardy.

 

It's been obvious for about 5 years that our best football is played when we have a good pressing forward, which neither Perez and Iheanacho are. Both came for a lot of money and had big enough reputations to expect first team football, which will not happen if Vardy is fit.

 

If that means we play an inferior striker, so be it, but if it suits the style of the team I would rather have a less clinical option than one that leaves us light.

We just need “a” striker, nevermind a world-class one.

Amazes me how obvious it is that this is the case but people seem to think we can just go and get someone like Wilson or Ings to sit on our bench and get maybe 10 games a season until Vardy finally goes off a cliff

 

Just need to look at the issues Spurs have had trying to find a backup to Kane, only now does that Vinicius actually look alright as a backup

But Vardy isnt playing. My anger is that away at leeds vards both stretched them and made winning comfortable. Are you saying it's acceptable to for us who are a big club now who also get ridiculed all over punditry that we cant win without vardy. Theres obviously a problem that needs dealing with and I'm concerned as a city fan.

Too late now. Any signing this window would represent a panic buy and the selling team would have us by the bollards Dawn. It's a shame because we need someone and it would give us a lift, but I don't think anyone saw Kele and Ayoze being quite this useless when called upon.

Even Wolves got a Brazilian striker on loan till the end of the season and would have scored 2 if it wasn't for the heroic s of the Palace keeper yesterday

So this wonderful Brazilian striker didn’t score, or does nearly count now?

Completely different situation. He knows he'll probably be the main man. We can't offer that.

Who knew that he would be able to come in and start pretty much every game because Jimenez is out for pretty much the rest of the season

 

What striker is going to want to come here when they know they will start probably 2 games and then Vardy is back

You can get players in who understand their role and make an impact/can fill in when required. Cavani at Manchester United for example whom everyone was laughing at when it happened. Now it looks inspired. 

Who is Cavani behind? Seems to be starting most games
