Claridge Posted 9 August 2023 Posted 9 August 2023 Just now, Old Fox said: So are 99% of strikers.......Vardy is a freak and the GOAT for City in the Striker category so do not compare him to anyone......Daka is raw and has potential but time will tell if he can transition in English football but Prem Clubs are looking at him so I would keep than less someone offers £15m+ I meant Vardy's abilities now, obviously we will probably never have another Vardy.

JV will look a different player if we get a No.10 or creative 8 ......he looked awful last season until towards the end of the season when Smith got us at least playing the ball in between defenders......no way will EM not recognise Vards has strengths... Back to PD - I take your point - I still think he has potential and we will need strikers on the break this season away from home and you never know what side of the bed Kelechi has got out of so I would keep all 3 but only if Kel would sign a new deal otherwise sell Kelechi to fund a new striker

Steve Earle Posted 9 August 2023 Posted 9 August 2023 So, didn’t get a run out at all. McAteer comes on for Nacho instead. 2+2=5?

kingpower Posted 9 August 2023 Posted 9 August 2023 got to think that other clubs are in contact with us over the likes of Daka, Soutter, Soumaré etc for them not to get a run out, Daka for Nacho was an obvious play tonight… 4
Popular Post STUHILL Posted 9 August 2023 Popular Post Posted 9 August 2023 Yup, he's off. No way you don't use tonight's game to give one of your strikers his first minutes. As long as we bring someone else in, I can accept that there is no need for Vardy and Daka in the same team. Iheanacho to start. New striker to push him for that start, and Vardy to be an impact striker from the bench. 6

If your going to have Nacho as your main striker, I feel we need someone similar to him as a like for like replacement incase of injury. Then Vardy as a different option or to play alongside when needed. 1
Popular Post jayfox26 Posted 9 August 2023 Popular Post Posted 9 August 2023 Sell Daka, Souttar and Soumare and sign Piroe. That's what I'd do on football manager and it would be done within the next hour, not taking weeks and weeks like Rudkin does. 16

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 9 August 2023 Popular Post Posted 9 August 2023 Daka out, Archer in. Archer will be more than a back up as he'll cover LW and RW as well as challenge Iheanacho and Vardy through the middle. 8

LCFCJohn Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 Really don’t see the point in us spending big on another striker. Love the GOAT but whilst he is here, we are a graveyard for strikers coming in. We would have been better off keeping Hirst given he seems to have arrived at this level now!
Happy Fox Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 He’s third choice here and that’s the truth no way good enough to lead the line. Nacho is our first choice , Vardy back up. Let Daka go and sign a younger striker. That Charlton striker who’s 20: Miles Lester Leaburn or Cameron Archer would both be good options.

Does scoring one goal for Ipswich in the Championship really count as “arrived at this level”?

More than any of our strikers have in the league this season Id say good enough to be third choice as let’s be honest Vardy and Nacho aren’t going to be third choice. However I also like the Leaburn shout as the other option is signing a kid like him. Zero point signing a Piroe type.

I did say re Hirst ‘seems’ to have. I.e did well at League 1 level, become a valuable member of the promoted Ipswich side, and for their manager who is a well respected coach to want to sign and make his main man up top which he has followed up with a very good performance and a goal in a good win for them. So I’m looking at that overall picture not just saying ‘oh he scored a goal so he’s arrived’ 1

So I’m looking at that overall picture not just saying ‘oh he scored a goal so he’s arrived’ i am with you tho, out of daka and Hirst, hirst would fit this system we play more, although I think Archer from Villa will fit it better than both(plus he can play a number of positions too) shame really i do rate Daka, but I think the style of play we play etc it just doesnt suit him, the same with Vardy, I'd even say Daka is third choice and its not what he wants, given hes one of the sell-able assets, if we can get back anywhere near what we paid then we should, id like he to stay but for player and club, think it may well be time for him to move on
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 If Daka goes . Wd must surely bring another striker in. Vards is only one twang from his career being over. You don't get promoted with one fit striker on the books. 2
ARM1968 Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 I think we’ll regret selling this lad, I really do. But life goes on. 1
