Steven Posted 17 June 2014 Share Posted 17 June 2014 It's all subjective mate and in the eye of the beholder and all that but... without getting into the argument about penalties, because they all have to be scored, from open play, compared with 2-3 other strikers in the Championship last season, given the superior amount of scoring opportunities our team produced compared with others, I think Nugent, on a purely goalscoring basis, came up short. His goal taking ability will have to be a lot better in the Premiership compared to the Championship. Vardy will still be a menace and his pace again might get us a few penalties as well as he getting us the odd goal. We have a number of players capable of taking a decent penalty. We need a more dynamic player than Nugent in the pure goalpoaching, aggressive and selfish type mode to compete. That doesn't necessarily mean a £30m wonderbuy, just an out and out striker to compliment Vardy, NP and Walsh have probably already targeted such a player. Nugent should only be considered a squad player that's all I'm saying. All I agree with. I do feel that often we did not take advantage of the chances that were created. Still would love to have Nuge for a couple more years yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know players are on a lot but £400,000 is a lot of money. £400,000 is not a lot for a footballer's house at all. I'd expect someone on his salary to have a far more expensive house than that.

PAPA LAZAROU Posted 17 June 2014 Share Posted 17 June 2014 He will stay. He is already on record as saying that he want's his baby to grow up with a Leicester accent. And being saddle with that whiny phlegm gob scouse accent who can blame him for wanting better for his own children ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 18 June 2014 Share Posted 18 June 2014 The sooner he signs a new deal the better. Been a very good signing for us and we'd be mad to let him go. By all means bring in a new striker to add competition but to replace Nuge? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Fox Posted 18 June 2014 Share Posted 18 June 2014 Sorry, after you have revealed that crucial inside information, I agree that Nugent has to go. I didn't realise that the goalscorers were already sown up for next season. I believe I started with a question; that is not a statement. You're only as good as your last season. Who scored more goals last season? Nugent or Vardy? Nugent. Nugent or Campbell? Nugent. Nugent or Ulloa? Nugent. Nugent or Wood? Nugent. Let's bin our top scorer from the last 3 seasons off because of something that can only be mused as a prediction. He deserves to be in the prem with us as much as every other player that played their part last season. It doesn't matter what he deserves to be honest, I'm sure we all deserve a pay rise and a promotion in our lines of work but it's business and sentiment doesn't apply. My opinion is that I think the above players will score more Premier League goals next season. Nugent may have been our top scorer for the past 3 years but that was in the Championship. The only evidence we have of Nugent in the Premier League suggests he won't be very successful. If we are to stick by him then that means we won't have a good season. I support the club not the individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
