The impending forward crisis

[davek]

Who is your ideal (realistic) option?

There can be no ideal solution because we dont have the cash. My pragmatic and doable partial solution would be to bring a tried and tested goal scorer in like Vardy to chip in with 7/8 goals.

That surely cant be beyond this club.

That’s why Ineacho was a decent suggestion, he knows how to finish. Daka too. Think Vardy may have been sussed out now at this level and add his age and diminishing pace, a lesser option for me than those 2.

Anything more than a 5 goal a season forward is a massive improvement, how hard can it be.

They'll cost and we have no money. None at all.

Vardy could come on a free.

We could buy one of those once Gray sold. Surprised that’s not happened yet. He should be playing if he’s not got a club sorted, or at least on the bench.

No money but we signed a forward for £13m?

That cash will be banked.

We all know it.

You can be sure that deal was convoluted and involved Sporting wearing a deal that sees them get paid over years and dependent on appearances.

….Vardy is seriously not the answer, Dave. He’s spent and he brings a lot of baggage with him. Also, he won’t be ‘free’ when it comes to his wage demands and signing fee.

You give Vardy the chances that Maupay had on Saturday, he walks off with the matchball with 20 minutes to go.

Oh yeah no argument there.

Just over a season, I think the other 2 Leicester strikers better options now.

Yup. Cant disagree with that.

Sporting aren’t mugs Dave.

We’ve made a serious down payment on that lad.

We could do similar from selling Gray for another striker. Gomes, Cannon and Holgate going also releases wages too.

 

[PITA]

….but it seems a pointless risk. Monies are being spent on areas of less priority, it doesn’t make sense.

I’m more of a view they genuinely think DCL will be fit, firing and available this season. What we see as high risk, they see as low risk. What we forecast as high risk this time last season, they saw as low risk. We were right, they were wrong. It’s what you get when 3 men running the show aren’t proper football men.

I’ve described it as incompetence & I think that’s what it is.

This is what I don't get.

What I would give for Everton to have thrown 30 million at Gyokeres and forced Coventry's hand. We would be sitting on 3 points after the 1st weekend and could focus on bringing in a winger on loan.
