Stuliasz Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 I believe I started with a question; that is not a statement. But then you answered your own question, making it a statement, which you then used to put down the opinions of others as nothing but sentiment. You're entitled to your opinion about Nugent but using illogical assumptions to back it up just makes you look daft. He may well turn out not to be up to it but I'd back him to give it as good a go as any of the other players mentioned.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 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. But Bert wasn't basing that on sentiment, he was basing it on the fact that the boy has been our top scorer in each season he's been here and managed to reach the 20 goal mark whilst creating more assists than anybody in the Championship last season. You argue that it's only the Championship in which he's scored but then argue cases for Ulloa, Wood and Vardy to net more than him in the top flight - all of whom scored less than the man you're chastising in the division you're belittling. Your logic is bafflingly non-existent.

muzzy1981 Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 Vardy is gets ahead of nuge and if we sign Campbell and another then he drops right down the order Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Nick Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 Apparently, Nugent signed his contract this morning. I don't know the details but that's what I was told this afternoon. I wouldn't put my mortgage on this but the the fella who told me had no reason to lie and his son works at the KP.

Judging by his tweet expressing delight at facing Everton on the first game of the season I would say it is likely that he has signed a contract.
Finn Claw II Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 The faith shown in vardy to score next season and the lack of belief in either Nugent or Campbell is odd.
Nick Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 Judging by his tweet expressing delight at facing Everton on the first game of the season I would say it is likely that he has signed a contract. Maybe, I thought that a coincidence too after reading the boards before going out.
LCFC FOX Posted 18 June 2014 Posted 18 June 2014 So many people expecting Vardy to be great. It's another big step up for him. I hope we've learnt from last time and back him if he looks out of his depth again. Nugent, Vardy, Wood and Campbell would be great competition
1972 Fox Posted 18 June 2014 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. This.

Bert claimed Nugent deserves to have a chance in the Premier League, that's called sentiment to me, pal.Also, I didn't make cases for those players other than guess who I think will score more than Nugent. I don't want to sign Ulloa, but if we did, I think he will score more.

He did, and he does deserve to have a chance in the top flight based on STATISTICS, it's nothing to do with sentiment - pal. Might just be me but surely by saying they'd score more than Nugent (whether you want them to play / sign or not), you were indeed actually making cases for those players, and there's no logic to it in the first instance given Nugent scored more than all three you highlighted. You're embarrassing yourself as per.

You're embarrassing yourself as per. Chopra and Bothroyd used to score loads at this level and were poor in the prem, we all know that there are Championship strikers out there, Fryatt is another, he obviously thinks Nugent is 1. As for buying a house, Leicester is a pretty central location to commute from if he moved on so that doesn't mean much

Guest MattP Posted 24 June 2014 Posted 24 June 2014 Quick question for you all....Why would nugent buy a brand new £400,000 house in Countesthorpe and then leave??? I know players are on a lot but £400,000 is a lot of money. He doesn't just lose the house if he moves, he can re-sell it.
Merchant_Banker Posted 24 June 2014 Posted 24 June 2014 There's been a lot of talk on this thread about his ability as an individual, but the other point is that we know he will fit in with the team we have now and given that NP has said there will be limited changes then I think that is significant. When we bring in a new player we don't know what that will do to the team as a whole. Nuge is a safe bet as well as being a proven performer in this team.
stuartn27 Posted 24 June 2014 Posted 24 June 2014 Personally I don't think nugent good enough for the premier league Goes missing for to much of games If our deals not good enough for him let him go
absolutelegend Posted 24 June 2014 Posted 24 June 2014 easy one this. I like nuge and i want him to stay. I'd like to keep all our first choice players from last season and build on that. however, if his demands are too much, then he has to go.
Guest Posted 24 June 2014 Posted 24 June 2014 He is a Pearson favourite. He'll be staying and he'll be setting up our other strikers all day long. Stop the knocking you're embarrassing yourselves. We're Leicester not Barcelona.
Rob1742 Posted 25 June 2014 Posted 25 June 2014 Quick question for you all....Why would nugent buy a brand new £400,000 house in Countesthorpe and then leave??? I know players are on a lot but £400,000 is a lot of money. Sensible. If he has purchased it and moves on, he just rents it out and has an investment. More sensible buying it than losing money renting.
Tommy G Posted 25 June 2014 Posted 25 June 2014 Why has he spuffed £400k on a house in countesthorpe? No offence but I can think of 10 places more attractive to live in leicestershire than there.

Stop the knocking you're embarrassing yourselves. We're Leicester not Barcelona. Your claim that he will be setting up goals all day long is embarrassing. He's Nugent not Navas.
