He might not even feature for us again. 
 

Meaning his last game was on Boxing Day.

And that performance really summed him up 

Could be quite brilliant on his day but too many games like the Ipswich one where he didn’t give a shit with his mind elsewhere ( Afcon )

Will I miss him ? Only for his unpredictable

Is...  Man City going to buy him back?

Only if he has a gender reassignment …….

If you had a season defining penalty you'd want Nacho on it. 

 

If he hadn't have got injured at Leeds, he would have been on that critical penalty against Everton. 

 

Sliding doors moment. 

Maybe. But I wouldn’t have been surprised if Maddison took it off him anyway given his ego.

[RonnieTodger]

He’s at his best when he has a run in the team. He’d go on a great run and then didn’t score in one game and Brendan dropped him like a bad habit. 
 

He’s underperformed this season, but I don’t think swapping out every week did him any favours.

Agreed, But I think it's time we both moved on, He needs a fresh start and we need to find another Striker for nesxt season to compliment Daka and Cannon.

Started 5 of the first 7 league games and didn't take his chance.

Enzo has given him plenty of chances this year.

And he has been poor so now Maresca has given up on him.

 

Sorry for not making my original post painfully clear

Didn’t take his chance? He was tied with McAteer as our leading scorer early in the season (including a stretch of 4 goals in 4 consecutive games) until injuries struck and his subsequent loss of form.

 

His time with with us is probably run its course, given all current circumstances (the form of others in the same position, contract, wages, FFP, etc.), but let’s not revise factual reality to suit the current vox populi.

I’m a huge Kel fan and have defended him strongly on here over the past few years but he’s been absolutely crap this season, especially when you take into account his ability. I genuinely thought we’d be looking at a 30 goal season from the boy

[HybridFox]

May not be the most dynamic forward but his hold up play to bring others into the game is still the best of what we've got imo

[coolhandfox]

Made a difference tonight.

[dmayne7]

Was quality last night. What we've been hoping to see all season really. 

 

Think it's fair that he's dropped all the way down the pecking order with average performances and being away, but he has to be on every squad. The other 3 all are very similar and he's the only one who can play with his back to goal and drop into space. Particularly noticeable in the Boro game when we weren't creating anything (before the barrage at the end of the game)

[Dahnsouff]

Made a difference, held it up well, was progressive in building attacks. Credit where credit due.

(last time I will be saying that this season....)

[Heathrow fox]

The through ball specialist 

[Jimmy]

he actually looked interested which is a big step up from his last few games

[westernpark]

Well played last night but I’d fairs fair and the other strikers should be ahead of him currently.

[Happy Fox]

Best played in a two, but we don’t do that. Unless we can accommodate him in the side, I would love to see Nacho / Vardy partnership again or Nacho / Daka upfront.

Neither of whom I think are good enough for the Premiership

It's two early to say and the Jury is still out. Daka needs to be better at finishing.  Cannon has something about him that's interesting.

 

He reminds me a lot like Cottee who made a great career for himself. He needs to play regularly to get himself up to speed then we'll see how good he is.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

He looked decent. Would be really handy to have him anywhere near his best for the run in.

[FrankieADZ]

at times i wonder with Kel, 

 

imo he could easily play as a number 10, hes like a box of tricks at times

[TheUltimateWinner]

His ball retention is up there with the best in the team when he plays like he did yesterday.

 

Think he's above Cannon in the pecking order and should at least be on the bench next game.

[Stadt]

His ability to drop deep and drag opposition CBs out of shape is amazing. Fantastic false 9 play
