I would still want us to sign 1 more striker. Beckford will go and that will leave us a little short with Howard going.
Jacob Blyth dont look like making the first team straight away
Nugent, Waghorn, Vardy, Schlupp and 1 more

Leicester City have today (Friday) completed the signing of striker Jamie Vardy from Fleetwood Town on a contract until June 2015.

The Sheffield-born frontman, 25, joins the Foxes following a meteoric rise through non-league football, culminating in him firing Fleetwood to the Blue Square Bet Premier title with 34 goals this past season.

In joining City, Vardy makes his first steps in the Football League and becomes Nigel Pearson's third new signing this week, following the arrivals of Ritchie De Laet and Matty James from Manchester United.

City manager Nigel Pearson said: "There were a number of clubs vying to secure Jamie's signature, so it's very pleasing that we have been able to bring him to Leicester City. He will definitely help to take us forward.

"He has built an excellent reputation for himself through the goals he has scored at non-league level and, having studied his progress closely for some time, I have no doubt he will successfully make the step up to the Championship."

Vardy began his path to the professional game with South Yorkshire club Stocksbridge Park Steels, making his senior debut in 2007 and enjoying a successful three years with the club.

He joined Halifax Town in June 2010 and strengthened his growing reputation with 27 goals as the Shaymen won promotion to the Blue Square Bet North, but Vardy would go one step further when he joined ambitious Fleetwood in the Blue Square Bet Premier for a substantial fee that summer.

He proved an inspired signing for the Cod Army, hitting 34 goals in 40 appearances, as Micky Mellon's team stormed to promotion to the Football League as Conference champions with over a century of points.

I think he will be good for you, you have to look at the number of great players who have come up from non league, Mackeil Smith, George Boyd, Mclean all were signed by Peterborough and have been great, all starting at Stevenage when Mark Stimson was there.
Then there has been Simeon Jackson who was at Rushden and Diamonds, then we signed him and then he went to Norwich, Cody McDonald who is at Coventry got 26 goals for us when on loan from Norwich, they signed him from Dartford for 25 thousand pounds, and sold him to Coventry for half a million, so there has been a lot of good attacking players, all I have to say is I have a good knowledge of non league players and I have to say I think he may start slowly which is rather normal and he may take upto 6 months to get going but once he gets going he won't look back.

Cheers for that - always good to have an opinion from someone who has seen more then Youtube videos.

I expect that he'll be put on the wing for the better part of the season while he gets used to the Championship - hopefully he will adapt well and then can handle being the focus of attack.
 
I have seen so many attacking players from Non league make it, a lot start either in league 1 or 2, but some can make the big jump straight away and if anyone I think he will be able to.

He definitely favours the left peg ... but I'm not convinced he'll be played wide; he has a real eye for goal and I could see him being paired with a guy with a big physical presence and who can hold it up and also link play ... perhaps a very experienced ex-England International coming in on a free with a middle name synonymous with Sir Walter Scott .....
