I think watching Hirst's recent performances, his ability and his contributions to the team, really serves to highlight what an amazing talent spotter McKenna is (along with his backroom network).
During the summer we know that Hirst was a target and there were a lot of questions being asked as to whether someone so young could lead the front line; whether he'd be the 20-goal man we "needed"; whether we should be blowing money on someone who's had one good season.
Since he's come in, he's been absolutely superb. It took him a few games to get going but now he's starting ahead of a striker who actually does have 20 goals this season. His work rate is impeccable, he's strong, he's talented, and the goal at Barnsley absolutely summed up his game. More importantly, though, for me at least, it placed the spotlight on McKenna and the infrastructure that we have in place now. We're in a position now where we can completely believe that any player linked is going to be linked with a reason; that they're going to plug a gap, complement the squad and not rock the boat.
This is a cycle that we may have to go through many times if we are aiming to spot talent, pick it up, develop it and sell it on. What a ride this has the potential to be.
In McKenna we trust. COYB. |  | | |  |

Leicester have limited funds for new players, hence their relegation battle this season. If they are relegated I think a good chance they will keep him and offload some of the others players with bigger values, I.e. Maddison.
If they stay in the prem we'll probably have a good chance of getting him. |  | | |

I would rather we got Hirst, though. |  |
