Fair play, for me he's stronger, quicker, better in the air, got a better touch and is probably on a par in terms finishing.
Did you even see Fryatt in the second third of last season before his injury? Every time he got the ball he took on and turned his man and often beat them. It was like watching George Best at times. I can recall Waghorn taking on his man once against Newcastle in the first few weeks of the season and that was it.
Fair play if you think he's stronger and quicker (though Fryatt can hold the ball up incredibly well for someone of his stature), but absolutely no way does he have a better touch, Fryatt has a first touch and ball control twice that of Waghorn's.
I've seen comments that he played that way because of the players he had at Swansea. Maybe if he has some decent strikers at Leicester he will be more ambitious.
Two up front isn't necessarily more ambitious.
