I mean, Bilbao can certainly say that.

 

Look, I'm here to discuss Leicester City Football Club. Tolkientalk is a fine, fine forum; but let's keep the two separate.

Don't understand why everyone is so obsessed with needing a new striker when we have Jordan Ayew available? Long international career, 17 years at the highest level. 

He is okay but we need more goals. Daka has scored 2 league goals in 2 years. Szmodics on loan. Being looked at by Derby. If we could get him on loan he would be a decent signing.

He’s not okay. We need somebody who is a threat in the penalty area and you can’t do that if you’ve wandered out to the wing or spend half your time on your arse.

Why's this post called striker?

I was expecting some nostalgia from the 1970’s there was a game called Striker, bit of a rival to subbuteo 😂

I said okay, not brilliant. I agree we need more goals. We also need midfield supply to the strikers and defence and defensive reinforcements as well and Filbert Fox 🦊 ain't all that!!! I need to lie down.

Failure to recruit an experienced striker was criminal and is hard to fathom when everyone knew we needed one.

Can only assume there was enough budget to get two experienced players in; DIabate rumours were just before the Wrexham game, James got injured and presume that Aribo was signed as a James replacement and Lascelles took up the rest of the budget, pennies left for Mukasa and Richards who will be on low wages you'd expect. Did we really need Aribo and not a striker?

We didn’t need Aribo if we are going to play Winks, or even Braybrooke. 

 

We desperately needed a forward that can at least get a shot on target. Ayew and Daka at the wheel will get us relegated.

I dreamed of having this game in 1970s, but i never got it, some people have a hard childhood.

You’ve got to give it to us. Usually when a legend leaves, clubs retire the shirt, but we’ve retired the entire position out of respect. Fair ****s.

This as well as having no plan for a managerial replacement just further proves how appallingly we are ran.

I had Super Striker. I think the keeper's arms extended when he dived. Luxury!

Also we let Vardy play as main striker right up until he retired. Realistically he should have been phased out and a good striker brought into the team over time. Or at least play two up front but the obsession is one striker now.

 

And I don't mean Daka either. I've never rated him and I think anybody could see he didn't have the basics right from the start. But as always people like me calling that out were the idiots

Why would he choose us over Derby?

The ship has sailed. He is at Derby. We will have to stick with what we have now.
