Perez was a talented player. Not good enough for a top 6 club. But in the right setup a very effective second striker or wide forward type player. Good enough for a top 8-10 team when playing well but on his worst days wouldn’t look misplaced at Watford. 
 

I think most of us knew he wasn’t good enough to thrive at Leicester. There would be times where he wasn’t ‘on it’ and then he just wouldn’t get in that team. 
 

If a striker can stay fit. score 10 goals non penalties. Score 90% of their penalties on top. Hold it up well, battle defenders, link it up some - that’s a good PL striker.

Fair point about the fingers in ears. Still disagree about him being an asset. A cursory look at Leicester forums show that they are clamouring to get him off their wage bill, with only a year left on his contract. 

He’s too streaky for Leicester. For us he could have 10 stinkers back to back and still start. Eventually hitting a purple patch.

What he has or hasn't done for Leicester is irrelevant to us

 

He was overall a decent player for us, especially considering how little we paid for him

Kid's fucked it. Love to see it.

Yeap, any career he might have wanted, any relationships he may pursue and if they have any sense any friends he has, will fuck him off into the sea, and good riddance the horrid prick.

Nah. If he wants to be in the construction trade he’ll fit right in. Full of ‘lads’ who are spending their time drinking, and sniffing everything whilst making all the racist and misogynist jokes they can think of.

I thought he was really poor. He had a run of goals through being the only outlet we had when we were terrible, but technically he was extremely limited and his attitude stank. Cupping your ears to your own fans? Exceptionally poorly judged.

 

Absolutely no surprise that he's been awful at Leicester. We robbed them blind.

 

Another striker who seems to be overinflated by the media right now is Toney. Am I the only one who thinks he's a less injury prone, but much less capable Carroll, who loves knocking in pens? Don't get it TBH.

100% agree with you on Perez and everything you said but not Toney. When a goal scorer comes up from the championship in a bang average team and bags 22 goals in first 48 games I believe he deserves being accepted as a premiere league standard goal scorer.

Why aim so low probably have his own show on GBNews in a month or two whinging about 'cancel culture'

I do agree that he was value for money - we made nearly 30m from him, but the fact that he was out main striker shows just how poor we were at the time. He should have been a backup winger at best for a decent PL club.

My sis took me on the Legends tour at the new ground Thursday just gone. She saw it was supposed to be Ardiles, which was perfect. We’ve been clearing out my Dad’s house and the day before I found a clipping from the early 80s - a fantastic review of Spurs beating Man City. Thought I’d take it along to get signed.

 

Turns out Ricky Villa comes over once a year to stay with Ossie. He was a proper country boy and now lives on a ranch where he grew up, in the middle of nowhere. Ossie said he and his wife would come along.

 

Think it might have been the best day of my life :lol:

 

My sis speaks Spanish and so we were chatting away with Ossie, and then Ricky (whose English is still not great). Just the loveliest pair of guys. Ricky Villa is a little shy still but was so happy to speak Spanish with someone, and Ossie is perfect for this stuff - clever, gregarious and funny as fuck.

 

I mean, fuck football and all that, but, y’know.

Was in awe of these two when they came over. I was 14 ?

Also when Ipswich signed the two Dutch lads a year later, iirc
