The SKY one was weird though wasn't it, I couldn't work out if he'd just misheard the question... it was something like 'with Vardy not scoring it must be nice to see Kel getting goals' and BR just goes into some proes about how amazing JV is without even a word on Nacho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_77 Posted 8 March 2021 Share Posted 8 March 2021 9 hours ago, NewEnglandFox said: I don't know why games played usually gets omitted from these conversations. It did my head in when somehow squad depth and total players compared to Man City was brought up on Radio Leicester last night. Somehow we were adding a player every year? (I think we have more pressing issues like Vardy and Youri playing infinite minutes as well as kids on our bench that haven't played a minute of senior football.) There is both having European Football as a selling point to bring players in and there is also the supplemental games aspect to sustain a deeper squad. And with that deeper squad hope to go deeper in the domestic cup competitions as well. It's a giant step to have or not have Europe. Games played 19/20: Us: 48. Southampton: 44 Newcastle:45 Man U: 61 Liverpool: 57 (inc. club world cup, community shield, super cup) Chelsea: 55 inc. supercup How many players would we need to sustain or league position and play 8+ extra games? It is a literal step up to be able to field a squad for those extra games. I don't think you can fake it. Europe is looking nailed on for next season now, but it has been a few years. And I remember a stat that a club outside of the top 6 hasn't made it to Europe in back to back seasons in who knows how long. Wolves did 7th/7th but got busted out of Europa by Arsenal winning the FA cup. Excellent points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if he's happy to stay and fight for his place or says he'll sign a new deal, they'd be stupid to sell him for less than 50. Surely Giroud will be slowing down soon, he's 35 in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are wanting to get a replacement for vardy not that he can be replaced we want a striker pushing 15 - 20 goals a season. For that reason Abraham is not our man. I think when we sign Eduaord from Celtic in the summer we will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 8 March 2021 Author Share Posted 8 March 2021 Abraham is a very good striker. He's good enough that Chelsea wouldn't sell him to Leicester because Leicester are too good enough. If Abraham were available at a reasonable price he would cert ai my be good enough for our squad and maybe good enough to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebfromgrebland Posted 8 March 2021 Share Posted 8 March 2021 We couldn't afford Tammy's wages. He'd be in a high wage and if not he'll expect one beyond our pay structure. On a side note looks like we really missed out on lingard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chelsea aren't playing him and don't really intend to, why would they price him at £65 million? No club is ever paying that. Like I said before, it will probably take them to sign another star striker for him to final get the push/demand a move but that is not inconceivable with Abramovich's millions.

Popular Post NaijaFox Posted 9 March 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 9 March 2021 (edited) I am happy with Nacho, but we still need another striker. We also need another creative midfielder who could spell Maddison and/or Youri. PS: If Nacho played for Brighton, where they create a lot of chances (or perhaps even Fulham), he'll easily be a 15-20 goals/season striker. During his stint at Man City, he was scoring more goals per 90 minutes than any other player in the PL. Edited 9 March 2021 by NaijaFox 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
