MPH Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 Losing Kel would be a Big blow and we won’t be able to entice someone as good as him BUT I’d like to think we have someone lined up who would add something a little bit different. I’m sure there’s a striker out there with a bit more pace and is better at pressing who could also Have some link up play in his game. I think Maresca could find someone who could suit our system better even if they are not quite as good, if that makes sense.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of work to do if Kel does move this late on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tetly Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 It makes businesses sense to sell him and re invest the money. It’s a shame but all the players with a year or less on their contracts should be sold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chocolate Teapot Posted 28 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 August 2023 He was absolutely abysmal on Saturday and hasn't looked very good all year. If anyone offers decent money, sell. Vardy has looked much livelier this season and will be a good sub. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a replacement needs to be found! Armstrong and Adam’s have 7 between them already this season Edited 28 August 2023 by AjcW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Tuna said: Who assisted the first goal? This is what we've reduced football to now.... He gave the ball away constantly and got dragged. Half the problem is people don't watch the games, they just watch the highlights. It was the only good thing he did. He broke down countless attacks aside from this with his first touch being woeful. A striker who's good in the air and can hold the ball up is far better suited to this system. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 the club should already be talking to targets to replace Kel if there is the slightest chance of him going before the end of the window, upfront is the one area we look light in imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 As @Ric Flair said Miles Leaburn would be well suited. Worth saying Maresca's 23s scored loads and Delap who's 6ft4 scored 24 goals in 20 games, think someone who gets on crosses would be far better suited to this system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vards was absolutely pony against Cov, there’s a reason he doesn’t start anymore and that’s because he isn’t as good as he was. He doesn’t run channels, he doesn’t run in behind, he isn’t very good at holding the ball up and struggles to bring others into play. The man’s a legend and Iheanacho isn’t fit to wash a prime Vardy’s boots but anyone genuinely saying Vardy offers more than Iheanacho at this current time and in Enzo’s system is talking pure shite 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelmofox Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 Interesting. I know i'm not in tune with the majority on here, but i've always felt it in my bones he was going this window. Yes, there was an assist at the weekend but other than that i didn't think he was anything special again. I think the fact he got taken off in the 59th minute (not long after the goal) was telling. I don't really understand Enzo's attitude to strikers, but maybe they have someone lined up who can do that false 9 role leaving Vardy as the impact sub. The contract situation is the killer here, and if there is a little bit of a 'market' brewing between several clubs, then maybe at last we have a little bit of sway in our favour with the fee. Its going to be an interesting week for sure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a fan of his and honestly I expected a bit more from him in these games (I know it’s early days) so if an offer came and we could get someone in I wouldn’t mind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maresca’s reaction to him giving the ball away in the second half said it all, instantly turned around and told Vardy to get ready. Kelechi is such a strange player, I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be to see what he can do in training/when he is concentrating but generally his mentality seems poor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 It's quite conceivable that Maresca has a preferred option already lined up but we haven't made any moves because we've got too many strikers on the books and we've just been waiting for one to leave before pulling the trigger on someone whose skillset is more in line to get them a starting berth where they can be more effective than our current lot. Kel has been playing as 1st choice because he's probably the best option we have, it doesn't mean he's the best option available once the markets open to us, which it will when/if we have the cash available. Can't wait to see Mbappe in the shirt... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some whispers on here that Maresca doesn’t particularly rate him but is having to play him out of necessity as you alluded to. Obviously all hear say though!

When i went on a little rant the other week someone who wanted him to stay pointed out he was likely the sort of player who wouldn't put 100% in during training. I thought it was an odd justification to Nacho's approach. Its all conjecture, but if it is the case, i can see Maresca as someone who is currently demanding 100% of everyone in training to achieve his goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He basically is involved - assist, pre assist or scorer - in goals every time he plays. Has been for 3 seasons or so now. Often within moments of entering the pitch. How much more consistent do you want? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
