Can we please go back to being a club that develops players before their prime, rather then buying players that are past it. We aren't the kind of club that going to invest heavily in a decent striker once Vardy retires, so look forward to a few years of Daka-esque strikers or worse. Dont want to be that guy but Daka was that big investment to replace Vardy. He came very highly rated and was courted by quite a few big clubs, including Liverpool. How it has worked out has probably surprised quite a few people. 1
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 15 January Popular Post Posted 15 January His goalscoring stats are a bit deceiving to be honest. Take the game against Portsmouth away (where he scored 4) and he's scored 4 goals from open play in 24 games. 7
Levi Port Posted 15 January Posted 15 January A lot of Stoke fans didn’t think he was that great. Saying his all round play was poor but did have a knack of scoring. There’s a player there for sure, but we need 9/10m’s now and if we can get in someone good enough to score 7 goals for us this season it’s worth it.

Don’t think you can undervalue that. £7-10m for 10 goals at that level for a centre forward isn’t that much value though is it? Any well run club scouts better for less Only Piroe in the top scorers list cost them anything like that money which proves my point. Edited 15 January by VLC86
StriderHiryu Posted 15 January Posted 15 January 24 minutes ago, AKCJ said: I think we're making a mistake by selling him or loaning him with an obligation. Just a flat loan to a good side and he could be worth £15-£20m. It's what Middlesbrough want for Latte Lath and he's not done anything that Cannon hasn't and Cannon is younger and home grown. I'd love to see him go to a top end Championship side on loan and bang 10 goals in. But if he's then able to be bought for £7m or whatever it is then they'll have a had our pants down. If you take emotion out of it, Latte Lah's stats are a lot more impressive than not only Cannon, but better than any other striker in the Championship this season. Yes cannon is playing for a side that is struggling, but the underlying data suggests he's one for the future, whereas Latte Lah or someone else is more ready made. FWIW, I think Cannon has a lot of potential and think it's a bit sad he never really got a chance with us, but there are many players for whom it didn't quite work out at Leicester for who went on and did well, like Kramaric or Iborra. 1 1

Any well run club scouts better for less There’s your answer. Bold of you (or anyone) to assume we’d spend any Cannon money we get now wisely. We’re linked to a Parma full back who can merely run and Tyrone Mings

UniFox21 Posted 15 January Posted 15 January If we were clever we'd add well on clauses We won't obviously 1
TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Can't say I rate him. Not quick, not strong but does seem to have a good strike on him. It's a weird one. I don't think he's good enough for prem but he obviously can do it in championship which we may well find ourselves next season and with vardy can't go on forever and Daka being Daka we may need him next year. However If price is right and we can use that money to buy sensibly (here lies the problem) to keep us up I would sell.

We have criticised the club for holding onto players for too long. Personally, if we get our money back on Cannon (plus a bit more) then do it if they pay for reenforcements now.

Gav_LCFC14 Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Maybe we've got this wrong and it's just to provide cover after we send Edouard back. (And then I wake up)

LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Best of luck to him, he's looked pretty sharp and seems to be a good finisher. Not convinced he looks like a Premier League player, but I'd have said the same about Harry Kane and Chris Wood during their time here

dmayne7 Posted 15 January Posted 15 January 3 hours ago, Realist Guy In The Room said: He’s not particularly quick, skilful, strong or good in the air and doesn’t particularly influence a game enough to be (IMO) considered anything other than an average striker. I know penalties are still goals, but they’re not an indicator to use in the scenario we’re talking about so you really do need to take them out and when you do, again, average. He may well get better and strikers generally peak in their late 20’s but we can’t be saying lets have him hanging around in case he gets better and we might be in a different league. The only player in the 40 years i’ve been watching Leicester that was ropey to start with and then came good when we kept the faith was Vardy, and he’s an exception to practically every football rule. Cannon isn’t a Vardy, he’s more a not so good Nugent. He's pretty quick so don't know where this myth has come from, he's got exceptional movement which is something that can't be taught. Not saying he's absolutely amazing but when you factor in how inexperienced he is, he's still clearly shown he's better than bang average at championship level. Don't mind selling him if he's not going to feature but just seems like a pointless signing considering he did look very good when he actually got a chance. Lots of ifs and maybes but continue the same kind of numbers and you could double what we paid for him in the summer (when you consider the sums that some championship teams pay now), which also has a bigger impact in PSR terms. If this gives us good flexibility in the market now, then absolutely sell him but if it doesn't, and we need a striker option, he should be back in the squad. If the £7m that was mentioned in the comment I replied to, is the case, then it's utterly pointless in the world of PSR

Sly Posted 15 January Posted 15 January 52 minutes ago, Qwerty said: I’ve got mixed feeling about this. On the one hand, if we can sell him for good money, we can buy maybe a centre back to help us try and stay in the PL. However, if we’re relegated I think Tom Cannon is the sort of player we’d want, especially as Vardy won’t last for ever and Daka is just too inconsistent. Cannons stats in the Championship, aren’t that different to Dakas in the Premier League. Not much between them really. Albeit maybe £50k per week!
Popular Post Claudio Fannieri Posted 15 January Popular Post Posted 15 January Nixon is now reporting that Sheff Utd have now offered £10m up front plus £3m in add ons reckon we will snap their hand off for that as that gives us a decent PSR return and the chance to spend an additional £20m + 10
