Okay, this is silly.
This lad was released by Doncaster Rovers in the summer. He joined Crawley Town on a single season contract.
He terrorised the defence of Barrow for a hat-trick. He also thumped two past Mansfield Town and Morecombe.
Maybe Albion could sign him and loan him out as an investment player. But beyond that, nothing's happening here.
The papers, of course, are making up their usual fairy tales once they look at the EFL leading scorers.

yep player has a little purple patch and all of a sudden he's Marco Van Basten. It wasn't long ago that many on here were getting excited about Kenneth Zahore, me included.
A Crawley player
We are staying up, we are staying up
Yay!!!...if only we'd spotted Vardy at Fleetwood!

Well from the little that l can ascertain, Kenneth Zahore would be a massive improvement on this lad, certainly in terms of being first team ready.

I was told that our scout did try to go, but he thought it was the Highbury in North London instead.

I wouldn't imagine so, financially ligue 1 clubs are in the **** due to the TV deal collapsing over there. I would imagine it would be whoever gets in first, hopefully our negotiations with him over the summer would have made a little headway

He wasn't that hot in the Championship, (4 goals in his first season, 16 in his second) not even as productive as Maupay in his first year in the Prem either.

Very true, his Wikipedia page says this about his first season at Leicester,
Vardy's first season at the club was marred by his own loss of form, prompting criticism from some City supporters on social media, and he even considered leaving football until manager Nigel Pearson and assistant manager Craig Shakespeare convinced him to continue with the club.
A real sliding doors moment.
Just goes to show what damage keyboard warriors might do.

It might be silly, and hoping he might be the immediate solution to our goal scoring problem is overly optimistic, but I remember watching Bobby Zamora in the equivalent of League 2 and being confident he would become a Premier League striker one day. Clearly West Ham didn't think so when he was a youth team player with them, and they let him go.
Doncaster loaned this lad out four or five times, so he wasn't settled, I have no idea if he is good enough or not, but his goals warrant the scouts taking a look, and if the feedback is good, why not sign him up?

If the club feel they make a ROI, then yes. Albion seem to be property investors as much as a football club these days.

Glen Murray for us I guess, got a lot of abuse for being lazy and wanted away back up north early in his first spell for us, and a lot would have been happy for him to go.
Given that is most of Tony Blooms wealth ... perhaps not unsurprising
You have to be kidding. You give way way way too much credit to keyboard warriors. Weak-minded snowflake players, yes.

No offense, but please elaborate on 'etc' if you can. You've named 2 (albeit superb) goal scorers in the last thirty five (35) years ... and we turned one of them down. I can't think of any other forwards who made such a leap (and Vardy was pretty rubbish in his first season in the championship)
I know Alzate came from the Orient/ Colombia/wherever
...oh just checked we're not talking about him being a saviour ..... I'll shut up and stop drinking
That said I still get excited whenever we sign anyone.
Peter Ward, Stuart Pearce, etc.
When I read the thread title a little too quickly I wondered whether someone had been caught on camera abusing a candle.
So Vardy struggles, asks to be loaned back to Fleetwood, and you, if you were a Leicest supporter would still feel justified to call him a snowflake, even after seeing how some support and encouragement turned him into a record breaking striker in an EPL winning side that you supposedly support?
You really can be a tit sometimes

I think you are misunderstanding. You are assuming that players can’t take criticism. You are wrong.
