Re: January Transfer Window
would have loved Kieffer to come in the summer, but I'm not sure about a move in January.
if we are in danger of going down, or within touching distance of the automatic spots then it would be worth investing some money, but if we are in mid table obscurity then I'm not sure whether it'll be worth the money we would need to pay.
he will be 32 at the start of next season

and we'll need a centre forward at the start of next season. I'd be very surprised if we don't go for him in Jan.

yeah I wouldn't be against it, depending on how much it will cost.
there won't be any chance of us getting any sort of a fee for him in the future, so any investment will be gone in 1 or possibly 2 seasons.
I don't think we are in the position to spend much on effectively a glorified loan fee, so it will really depend how much they want for him.
On the plus side, he doesn't seem as though the rigours of age have started to catch up with him yet, but you can never tell, some players go on and on, others drop off a cliff in their early 30s

Moore had a relatively late start in pro football which could help him in that regard
Vardy should have fallen off a cliff years ago with the way he plays but I imagine the late start helps his longevity

I know what you mean about his age but in his defence he's not a player that relies on pace which is usually first to go plus I don't think he's had a particularly arduous 50 games a season from 18.
Like you though unless we have any chance of making a push or he costs very little we're probably better off looking at more practical targets

exactly, if he's here and making the difference between us finishing 16th or 10th then what's the point

Would you rather 32-year-old Kieffer Moore on loan or 36-year-old Jamie Vardy? I think I'd go for Vardy.

While they are very different players I think I'd take Moore. Vardy isn't half the player he was - even the Leicester fans have accepted he's a sub at best realistically.

Why would Vardy come here he has Saudi written all over him along with his feckless wife ?
Don't think Moore is the answer , we have plenty of capable attackers, hopefully Robinson will return soon , its more about how to defend winning positions, Moore won't solve that.

Moore will help because he will hold onto the ball when we clear it. This means there will be less pressure on us. We don’t have a striker who can hold onto the ball.
Also, Vardy is staying with Leicester. If he had Saudi written all over him, he’d be there already.
