He scored more goals in the Premier League than Vardy and Nugent combined, though I accept they're not Premier League class either.
Are you pissed or do you genuinely believe that Adam le Fondre, whom Cardiff shipped out on loan to Bolton after 3 goals in 20 odd games in the Championship, is Premier League quality?
As for Vardy and Nuge... Nugent is never a Premier League quality striker, he's a very good backup to Mahrez in the attacking midfield role behind the strikers and Vardy clearly is Premier League quality.
Where he scored 8 in 17 games.
As I didn't watch all his performances in the Premier League, I can only really judge him on his record and he scored more goals in the Premier League than any striker we've ever had and they weren't all against **** teams either, he scored against Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
He has a great record in the Championship, he's available for almost **** all and one the one season he had in the Premier League he did very well. What's not to like?
For someone who has no discernable pace, workrate or technical skill and bases his game on scoring goals. It's not all that.
What does that have to do with the bit you've quoted?
26 goals from his las 76 games isn't it? Pretty poor in the Championship, God awful in the Premier League.
His Championship record is 38 in 108 games and his Premier League record is 12 in 34 games.
He's got a better record than any of your strikers, when you've got one that matches him, get back to me.
Daryl Murphy scored 34 goals in the 13 seasons prior to the 13/14 season....he's scored 40 goals in the last 2 seasons... And I though he was supposed to be ****...
Both Leo and Nuge have better goalscoring records in the Championship?
Ulloa has a goal to game ratio of a goal every 2.17 games.
Nugent has a goal to game ratio of a goal every 2.64 games.
Jelly is crock, at his age, as striker, full recovery from his injuries to his best is unlikely. Mo also crock - looks like West Ham saw us coming and sold us a dud, and we didn't sign Austen as he's supposedly crock! - would probably have kept us up - ah well!
Wouldn't want ALF as a main player, maybe as someone to bring on when the ball just won't find its way in but he really isn't very good.
Nugent and Le Fondre have pretty much identical Championship records, but Nugent's Premier League record is obviously appalling. Ulloa has a slightly better Championship record, though he only played two Championship seasons and his Premier League record falls just short of Le Fondre's.
And that's quite enough irrelevant nonsense on our transfer thread, thanks.
Point is a good one that the reason we aren't doing anything before 1 July is FFP restrictions.
I don't think he's as good as people think and he'll never have a season like he's had but he'll clearly do a job in the Prem.
The fact that defences like Sweden U21s are starting to work him out backs that theory up.
You're the one who brought our forwards into question as if they're somehow inferior to Adam le ****ing Fondre
He's awful, you can do better. The end.
It varies between £2-4m depending on which report you look at. However,,,Not really that much for a proven championship goal scorer. Which is what we want.
