    He loves a cup goal.

    • 21 goals in 27 games in FA Cup and Copa Del Rey
    • Scored 4 in 6 games as Leicester won the cup
    • All-time top African goalscorer in the FA Cup with 18 goals in 25 games (Drogba 2nd with 12 in 29)
    • 6th most goals in the FA Cup this century after Lampard, Rooney, Aguero, Defoe and Crouch. Only Aguero has a better goal to game.
    Weird stats actually :giggle1:

    Also, for anyone doubting his age (looking at you ILTC) this is him in 2010 when he was 13/14. Clearly still a young boy.

    Guy in the background, on the right, looks like he’s watching his time to rush off and call the “winner” of a bogus lottery.

    He is not & has never been a centre forward / striker. His best position is as a ten or playing a supporting role behind a striker.

    He has played as a striker alot but you're right in the sense that his very best form came supporting Vardy a little bit deeper.

    It'll be interesting what happens if he starts games for us. Right now we struggle to get our strikers involved. Having one who can come a little deeper and link up whilst others like Maeda and Tounekti can run in behind might actually be a good thing for the team structure.

    Our strikers have been redundant this season

    Dog * player.

    I think this is the end of Rodgers which at least means we hopefully stop just looking at Z listers from England.

    If our board can get their finger out their * of course.

    Welcome ‘ol boy.

    Someone to half the tub of curry with big Kasper at the Blue Lagoon.

    I’ve always maintained that was a sharing tub.

    Hope he does well.

    Will give him a shout, hope he proves us all wrong

    At least he's the right side of 30 and Rodgers knows him

    There will be some in a few weeks saying Rodgers isn’t getting the best out of him. I’m only being half sarcastic there as well.
