shen Posted 30 August Share Posted 30 August 4 minutes ago, Finnegan said: I'd take Vardy, confident, with good service over a lot of teams first choice strikers in this league, it wasn't such a stupid comment. He isn't the Vardy that you cash smash it long to and have him chase the channels anymore but if you actually create chances in around the box his movement and finishing is still better than most. Biggest problem the year we went down is we created almost **** all for any of them. I would probably too, because we know he can provide that finishing touch. But I predict we will see more and more games this season where he will be completely ineffective like against Fulham or Spurs first half. I hope not, of course. There's nothing better than seeing him on the score sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we’re not the team we were and they are a lot more established as a PL club than us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted 30 August Share Posted 30 August At the end of the day we can all grumble about our transfer window, would I have wanted Edouard when it opened? Probably not. But we are where we are, we haven't been able to spend (I don't think it's because we're skint) because of where we are with PSR. There is a problem with those rules and this has led to a very strange transfer window for all clubs. You know football has gone mad when you've got clubs selling off their youth talent just to fund their other dealings and you have a league 1 club spunking £12million on 1 player! I'm relatively satisfied with the business we've done, would have liked a left back, but we're done now. Let's see what this lot can do, gain as many points as we can before the premier league take them back off us again and get behind the team to see us finish at least 17th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozdog Posted 30 August Share Posted 30 August Well that was a better result than I was expecting. Thought we would end up getting some no name from some no league in as a striker. But this was totally left field and I’m quite happy about it. They were better options out there, but not for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, I worry we'll be in a similar boat with creativity this season Bar 20minutes against Spurs I think we've looked really poor going forwards.

There's nothing better than seeing him on the score sheet. Yeah but I think it's really easy to under state the fact he scored against Spurs. Time after time he does that. The finish might have been fairly straightforward but he was there. In the right place. Unmarked. Again. I'd take him over Calvert Lewin, Armstrong, Mateta, Delap, Muniz, Fullkrug, Awoniyi. It's not like every team in the league has a world class 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what this lot can do, gain as many points as we can before the premier league take them back off us again and get behind the team to see us finish at least 17th. Same. Would've liked a LB too. I'm hoping Cooper sees sense on Ricardo and therefore moves JJ to LB, then we'd be OK for now. I think Vardy and Eduoard as the number 9 options aren't too bad for a relegation battle really, as long as we create chances which for me is an issue. I'd argue they're a better pair of choices than some of the teams towards the bottom have Calvert-Lewin had one good season, otherwise he's been similar to Everton. Ipswich and Southampton I'd say number 9 wise are probably behind us, maybe? Obviously Daka is poor, but he usually shows up for a month too so who knows, we might be OK. We'll certainly need goals though considering our cb pairing is faes and jannik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted 30 August Share Posted 30 August I think we've somehow become fortunate with this signing, but I'd have certainly taken Edouard back in May. Hasn't worked out at Palace but he's not been disastrous, and he was prolific before. We need a striker with some physicality too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
