tbf same can be said about Solanke, hes had 1 good season in the prem and hes gone for nearly £60mil

I agree, why would you sign solanke when Toney is available for cheaper, makes no sense 

[Micky]

He looks class.

He's spent all his career in Greece to date and last season was the only one where he's scored goals regularly, but he did perform in the Europa League also

 

Tbf you say that like he's 29.

 

Hes 24 years old, just coming in to his prime isn't he.

Ipswich wanted him earlier in the window and bid over £20 million I think and they wanted a lot more. Looks good but would he come to Leicester - I suppose Theo Zagorakis could put a good word in for us perhaps!

i suspect Ipswich bid was rejected cos it probably totalled to just over £20mil including add ons, either way theyve got Delap now

I'm just going by his stats, I don't know alot about the guy but I've also noted 9 of his 23 goals for his club last season were penalties

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Hardly impressive number over his career, but not doubt we'll struggle to get it over the line anyway so not moved at the moment.

[StanSP]

Where's his bar chart? 

 

Disappointed. 

[Finnegan]

Can we confirm his surname is four syllables? 

 

Need to make sure I've got the chant right for his debut. 

 

Du du du, Fotis Ioannidis. 

[mod hero]

Although it’s the Greek super league he looks unbelievable. Not many strikers with that many skillsets. Hes got everything that Daka hasn’t. That being said can he step up to the prem? He looks strong enough.

We mostly use fbref for percentile charts and they only measure the top X few leagues in Europe. 👀

Szmodics couldn’t sniff the West around this chaps bollocks…. He’s a very good player.

Haha, where's his radar chart?! Or is that from fbref too?!

Well prepared for him to be the latest poor soul to disappear into the Bermuda triangle for promising strikers that is Leicester City

If we splash the cash on any striker before we invest in a proper midfield then we'll get relegated. 

 

Daka, Vardy, Cannon or even Mavididi will score more goals with a good midfield behind them than a better striker would score with a bad one.

 

If we line up with BDCR at 10, Mavididi being forced inside in to a 10 role and have VK as the wide left outlet then paying 25-30m for the next big thing centre forward is just pissing money up the wall. 

 

You could stick Haaland up top for us and we'd still struggle to score. 

[LcFc_Smiv]

It's getting tedious reading the same negative rinse and repeat responses to every supposed deal.

[LestaLad]

Oh wow. This guy looks the full package for a striker.

Agreed but it's concerning that we'll lose our first ever Brazilian player to afcon at such a crucial time in the season don't you think?
