He's the type of hold up striker that we haven't had in years. He's still quite raw and Inter won't let him go cheap so out only hope is we convince them he'd be better off on loan here than Serie B.

Which he will be. Better quality league, and will be better for his development. They'll get more of a gauge of his potential as well. It might help that Ruud is manager as a former striker, they might see him as a way of developing quicker. 

 

But then it's us, so who knows.

they was linked with Mads, so wonder what the odds are if we get FPE on loan or something and they have first bite in terms of mads in the summer

Any idea what his pressing is like? I could see Vardy liking a target man along side him, but the out of possession shape can be problematic with two up. (As we know).

 

It also pushes us into a 442 shape. 

 

But if the boy has the potential to take over up front then by all means. I get the feeling that he's going to be a season or two away from leading the line though.

He's very energetic, he'd be the type of modern striker that this team needs.

The presence of Luuk De Jong in this list hopefully means Ruud’ll be all over this pal!

Loan to buy would be cracking, type of striker we sorely miss with our current system
