Strand-Larsen will be better for us on the park than Vardy, but Vardy is far better value and wouldn't hamstring us.

Not professing to have a photographic memory but from the 4 games I recall Vardy stuck out. Was a handful down at their place. Cant recall much about SL at all.

I'm sorry folks, but we're at the point where it was probably a mistake to let Wilson go/not sign DCL on a free. 

 

I don't like it either, but Vardy seems like a perfectly reasonable option.

It definitely wasn’t a mistake to let Wilson go, and Vardy is not a reasonable option.

You guys should look up the # of strikers who of the right age, who we didn't miss out on signing/just moved to another team, and scored over 15 goals in the top 7 leagues in europe. It's shockingly shit. 

 

The below list are some of the names of the players who hit 20 goals in these respective leagues. Want to know why these players cost so much? That's why (fuck you Liverpool). 

 

Mohamed Salah

Alexander Isak

Erling Haaland

Kylian Mbappé

Robert Lewandowski

Ante Budimir

Mateo Retegui

Mason Greenwood

Ousmane Dembélé

Sem Steijn

Viktor Gyökeres

Harry Kane

Serhou Guirassy

 

Notables: Wissa 19, Watkins 16, Mateta 14, Strand Larsen 14, Delap 12, JP 10, Jackson 10, Burkadt 18, Ekitke 15, Sesko 13, Woltemede 12, Julian Alvarez 17, Moise Kean 19 

 

Missing names but hopefully you get this picture once you filter it out by age, recent transfers etc.

Yes…..but it would take her 6 months to find Newcastle and by that time we could tell her that Jamie was lost in Davy Jones locker.

Have people been memory wiped of Wilson last season? He looked absolutely done, if he gets more than 5 this season he'll be doing well. 

Id be more surprised if he even completes 5 full 90’s never mind scores in them. It’s a real shame the toll the injuries have taken on him these past two years.

Chris Wood. Was it our tactics or what?

 

 

He's just bloody deadly for Forest, he takes those chances and makes them look easy. Did you see his goals over the weekend? Loose ball poked in with power past the keeper off a corner. Second one he gambled and made a run, Anderson played a perfect ball behind and he rounded the keeper and stuck it in. 

Confidence is major, Forest are an excellent football side tbh.

Been said earlier he was in a slump in form before we bought him, probably struggled with the pressure of the situation here post move too. Following summer was third choice. Let’s not forget it took him a while to find his feet back at Forest again too

I know but why did he look just a shell of what we see now?

So let's say we get Strand Larsen and keep Isak, would people be happy with that? Or would they be happier with Vardy in too?

I've always maintained that Vardy would be handy to bring off the bench or start the (very) occasional game. I'm well aware that I'm in the minority though. He'd hardly cost a fortune and keeps himself fit. I thought Wrexham would have tried to get him.
