Oh well, stick him on the wing then. He’s shit up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 2 hours ago, An Sionnach said: This young player obviously has the brain of a striker but premiership defenders will give him less space and time so he will need to sharpen his thinking even more. He comes in as no.4 striker behind Vardy, Iheanacho and Barnes so he will have to get used to that. He won't be a bench player though as I expect there will be a lot of rotation. If he gets 15 next season that would be very good any more than that he will be making headlines. ...won't be a #4 striker.....!!! Very much start upfront if Vardy not at full tilt. Nacho is the player who could see his time reduced and unless we continue to play with two upfront he will not be called upon on a regular basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merchant_Banker Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 56 minutes ago, shen said: Yes, I get that. But you just know that Vardy wants to play every time he is fit. Iheanacho will feel he has proven he can be the main goal scorer in this team (arguably only in a 3-5-2 formation), while Daka I assume will want assurances of being first-choice pretty quickly. Vardy won't stay fit if he plays every game when he is fit. Daka will rotate with Vardy, which leaves us with Perez rotating with Iheanacho. I suspect that if we start with 2 up front and take off Iheanacho then it means we are changing to 1 up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 Regarding signings, it's possible we are waiting for July 1st as that might be the start of a new tax accounting year depending on when the club does their books. That could be important given FFP (I know that is currently suspended, but still), but also loan repayments, financial repayments, etc. That said it's never affected is before, but then we have just had a global health pandemic! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we could confirm deals but them not be officially active until July anyway for accounting purposes. I doubt that's the reason.

Although perhaps in his case, we are paying a fee that is triggered on a certain date? Just speculating of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can be ridiculously slow at announcing deals, I'd love to know why but suppose it doesn't really matter at this stage of transfer windows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep him and Ndidi are the earliest we've ever announced deals that I can remember. Ndidi we knew had signed about a week before it was made official, which I think was on either 1st or 2nd January. Ricardo was done maybe 3 days after the end of the season? Though I suspected that was done because Puel hated Danny Simpson so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad the Fox Posted 23 June 2021 Share Posted 23 June 2021 Can’t we just reveal him gradually, his left foot tomorrow, right on Friday, lower leg Saturday etc. Until we get to July 1st when we reveal his big smile beaming out at us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
