It just makes sense.

We need a target man of some sort, he needs a club, I don't think you'll find a City fan in the world (with half a brain) who doesn't love the man, he loves the club, just make it happen Nige. Thanks.

This is the most excited I've been about a Leicester signing since Edgar Davids! :pearson:

Oh Edgar Fookin Davids!

A 34yr old lumbering Villa reject.

Absolute joke of an idea.

Leicester fans should have more respect for one of the great players to come through their doors.

Apart from in League 1

Well we aren't their anymore, we have moved on from those days, Heskey would be a better upgrade than Howard in the target man role.

Remember us bringing Howard on to retain possession if we were defending a lead?

and the ball either bouncing off his head and going to the opposition, or him throwing his weight around and getting sent off

Here's some Opta stats on a woeful Villa side Vs West Brom focused on Heskey receiving the ball

I'm not saying sign him up, because too many other things come into play... But he'd be perfect to bring on in the role Sven/NP used Howard in

Add to that the fact that every strike partner he's had has benefited hugely from him & can't speak highly enough about him.

People are absolute fools to write him off purely on age. Absolute fools!!!

Deckchairs would be an improvement on Howard - but that's irrelevant.

Children are excited because they never saw him play, idiots are excited becuz hez Lestoh innit, and everyone else is proving me right that the world is populated by morons.

Heskey is the answer if the question is "Who would make a slightly less shit Steve Howard?"

I am not saying he the answer forever but for a season where in this division you have brick wall of defenders who aerially are far better than Nugent and Beckford you need a plan B to nullify that Heskey would do that job. I certainly don't expect him to score a barrel load of goals but honestly his hold up play would be helpful for Nugent etc. If you think sentiment would come into the equation well most of us would want him back for the reasons described above.

Nugent will be a 30 goal striker with him in the team

If Nuge was a penalty taker, he'd probably be in the late twenties in terms of goals scored. But I don't think he'll ever get any more than 20ish.

I just don't see Hesky as a Pearson type signing. I hope I'm right.

Did he not sign Adebola at Hull?

Pearson loves a plan B target man and bearing in mind Howard's departure, I think he's a typical Pearson type signing.
