Title: Iheanacho anybody?
Post by: South Coast White on May 28, 2023, 07:28:17 PM
A solid,pacey forward who seems happy to sit second fiddle to Vardy. Personally I'd have him immediately as back up to mitro.

Yes. 26 years old, 55 league goals for LC in six years, 35 caps and 12 goals for Nigeria. Much more upside than my previous Vardy suggestion.

It ways makes me smile when so many on here dismiss other PL players as not good enough to play for FFC.

Solid if not spectacular. According to spotrac (who?) he's on 80,000 a week and contracted until June '24.
Bit steep for a back-up.

Not sure, think silva would have a big job with this player, he's got a bit of quality but never consistent enough for me. Leicester had spent a lot of money on him too so I reckon it wouldn't be worth it

We don't need another player to back up Mitro. We need another striker who offers something different to Mitro and is genuine competition for Mitro.

For me, he is the type of alternative striker option we need. He has the ability to run at defenders with the ball, score from long and short distances, stretches defences.

Always liked this player.

I like him, but think we need a speedy option up alongside Mitro when we go two up front, an Andy Johnson that stays fit

Does he take pens?

Should be like American football. Have a specialist penalty taker who comes on only for penalties ( Matt Le Tissier even at his age would do better than Mitro ).

I like him, but if we're looking at bringing in a striker from a relegated team, Rodrigo would be my pick. Can legitimately challenge Mitro as a proven Premier League goal scorer. He was born in Brazil so I expect he will fit with the other Portuguese speaking players as well. Finally, he can play in a deeper 10 role as well as on the right wing. Other than his age he ticks all the boxes as a potential 2nd striker with his pedigree and versatility.
