Aw bless you both pretending you're not much closer to 40 than 20.

 

Mods?

Can we please put an end to the rampant ageism on foxestalk? Its getting out of hand and as a man of 33 I just dont think its fair to be subjected to this vile rhetoric

[brownboy93]

Just be adding to the shit pile of attackers, we need quality not quantity.

He’s better than Daka so I’m all for it right now 

Is he? 

 

Saw him for Burnley last year and he appeared very similar

****ing hell, boomer 

 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

Can see this being in addition to another striker

 

Vardy won’t be able to keep up with the demands of the PL now, Cannon isn’t ready and Daka not good enough. Would be happy with this guy on loan and signing of a target man (ideally Adebayo)

Maybe but I honestly think daka race here is run. He needs to leave and at least with fofana, there is some potential there. I agree he didn’t set it alight at Burnley but there’s potential there

so, slightly better at the defensive work than Daka, tends to carry the ball forward a bit more but slightly worse at finishing... 

 

not sure what value this brings unless we're planning on sending Cannon out on loan and want to maintain squad depth, or we're planning on playing a two and just writing off our best attacking outlets in Mav and Fatawu

Looking at the stats from last season it looks like he could be just as frustrating as Daka when it comes to finishing?

 

Fofana

Minutes played - 1,567 minutes

Goal scored - 5

xG - 7.3

Big chances missed - 12

 

 

Daka

Minutes played - 1,095

Goals scored - 7

xG - 9.4

Big chances missed - 9

How do these xG stats work if they're both 2.x under their expected goals, but missed lots of big chances? Were the goals they did score all low chance of scoring?

He's on a 7 seven year contract at Chelsea....just read the thread on Chelsea's main forum and the view is get rid and hope he never comes back to Chelsea.... another mistake by Todd Boelhy

I'm trying not to be negative but we must of been scouting for a replacement for Vardy for 3-4 years atleast and this is the best option we can come up with?

[CrispinLA in Texas]

He's the same age has Tom Cannon, but some here want Cannon to go out on loan and this guy goes straight in to play in the premier League games 🙄

Signing a Chelsea player who they seem to want to move on might well mean that he could be a great buy providing he's in the right environment and has the right support..

He's on a 7 year contract at Chelsea and they want to get rid!

[Babylon]

Screams of "we've exhausted the list of scouted players we wanted, so we'll go back to Chelsea who said he was available when we sold KDH".

[EastAnglianFox]

We’re still getting Ayew though right!??

I heard a whisper yesterday that Vardy's injury is a lot worse than we've been told and will be out for ages so cannon can't go anywhere

Not being harsh on JV because he's the Goat but coming into this season relying on him as your first choice Striker is a bit delusional at best.

We really are at the bottom of the bargain basement bin where all that’s left is the dust, a dead spider, crumbs and a pube

I think it deffo is,  That's why they haven't mentioned him really.

 

At his age if it's a really bad injury he might not get back at it.

[Stopharage]

Fe-Fi-Fofana, I smell the blood of a panic buy.

So unimaginative, even the links and rumours are uninspiring

If the dead spider’s terms are reasonable, iI think we should go for it as it could undoubtedly reinvigorate our attacking options.
