Just a thought...Vardy isn't the most cultured player, often looks a bit non league but he is a handful and makes things happen......and scores goals ! !

Ladapo is raw , but I think could also be a handful up top...given a chance who knows....does he just need the chance like Vardy ?

He is the only fit striker left so if he does not play then the management do not rate him .

As I've said before on here, saw both Vardy & Ladapo play at non-league level & if you'd asked me which would make it I would not have said Vardy. It's weird how some of them make it and others don't but guess it depends on what suits them as players.

I think it was only about two years between Smalling struggling to hold a place in the Maidstone team to him playing for Manure in the Champions League.

We could do worse than give the lad a chance.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

No or he would be playing now.

Palace 13th 2017/18.

Palace gave a trial to a young centre forward several seasons ago, who had a successful brother, scoring great goals regularly. This boy did the rounds on loan, several a season. He had something, but nobody had the time to really try him out.
After Palace he joined Millwall. After two seasons as their, and their divisions leading scorer he went to Wimbledon in the old first and even had games for England. John Fashanu.
Ian Wright, another sort off rated trialist. Bright not considered good enough for Leicester, but behind the Lineaker boy. Glen, washed up and injured at Brighton. The list of these kinds of players in those situations is endless. Who knows, there must be something about Lapadu as he hasn't been got rid of, close of season, even at 28.
Anyway, so he doesnt score, big deal, who else has?

Got to be worth a shot for the Man U game, can't be any worse than benteke lately! Banging them in for u23's.
