SouthStandUpperTier Posted 3 August Share Posted 3 August We definitely need another striker. Vardy is injured already and only scored 3 goals in his last PL season. Daka looks bereft of confidence. Cannon has 1 minute of PL experience. Szmodics has no PL experience either and would be a gamble, but if we do get shat straight back down, at least we'll then have a striker that we know can score goals in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't suggest we should pay 20m, can't really grumble at a price between 10 - 15m esp when his wages wouldn't be huge and if he manages to chip in with goals keeping us in the league then the transfer fee becomes irrelevant Edited 3 August by whoareyaaa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also billy sharpe scored far more consistently that he has until end of season before and last season. That said, might be worth while if it wasn’t a crazy fee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well stats do come into it a bit its not like we are buying a player with 4 goals or a bad career, obviously its a bit of gamble but what player isn't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, but it’s a risk, I wouldn't say 15m is over paying but yea it is a risk but a risk worth taking imo, esp with him having his best season last time out and with the potential of us being relegated.

moore_94 Posted 4 August Share Posted 4 August The worry I have with Szmodics is that the season he has just had is very much not the norm for him I don't think we should be spending £10-15m+ on someone who will turn 29 next month as well - we have enough older and experienced players in the squad, we should be focusing on younger players 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason he won't come good next season, he will either thrive or not, it's a gamble but a gamble we should be looking at given we are fishing in a different pond and need to stay up and goals are what will keep us up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
