Our poor injury record for over a year needs to clear up and allow him to do his stuff, as he is not getting slower or struggling to get into positions to score. He just seems to pick up niggling injuries these days , a few years ago he was bombproof but yes we shall see . He probably doesn't know himself. Maybe at last the steel man from Sheffield is becoming more vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury problem is not just him, he is just as vulnerable as anyone else with our fitness and conditioning problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 (edited) Will surely reach 30+ goal contributions for the season. Only 3 more to go. His pricetag is going to be big! Edited 12 April 2022 by Shane 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That deal was done and dusted in terms of club fees and contract (which was negotiated by his agent), it's just that the player did not want to sign. A real sliding doors moment as we all know.

It seems there are a lot of suitors and obviously will keep the price high, but just watching him recently and he is not really featuring in games. I cannot see it going much higher and see he would be a great fit here, easy going, links up well, unselfish and plays for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They linked a dodgy seeming article, but it would be what? Another guy out on loan who may come good? Hope he has more brains than that! They have plenty of riches in attacking areas unless they regard him as a starter striker, it seems unlikely too me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots Posted 16 April 2022 Share Posted 16 April 2022 I've never watched him play, seen the odd YouTube clip etc was not overly bothered whether we signed him or not but stopped off in Bruges for a night out on Friday on the way back from Eindhoven, had my city top on and got talking to loads of Club Bruges fans through the night to say they rate him highly is an understatement spoke to 2 or 3 who said he was the best young player they had ever seen in Belgium...….now I'm a little excited at the prospect of him signing.

Muscle injuries are his problem and has blighted his season so far. For the amount of outlay of 30m Euros to make him (De Ketelaere) the most expensive player coming out of that league, the sensible money would need to be on De Ketelaere, but they are not fighting for the same position. Another good season for Madueke would have seen his price at 40-50m Euros, his injury problems may just have been a godsend, should we be willing to take a risk. Prices of 25m Euros being banded around, it may be prudent to take that risk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 19 April 2022 Share Posted 19 April 2022 Madueke is a hefty , muscular individual ,you wouldn't expect him to get injured. However I think any prospective buyer would want to see a long injury free period before taking him on. My worry is if Sancho is struggling then why would he be any different. All this anyway depends on getting a decent fee for Youri , if he leaves that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest we have been trying for years to find someone that can fill his boots and it’s an impossible task. I personally think we really missed a chance to get at least a decent alternative in Ollie Watkins before Villa got him and at the time probably would of accepted splitting game time with Vardy. He can play lone striker, quick, good in the air and most importantly scores goals. That boat has sailed and the search goes on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That boat has sailed and the search goes on Iheanacho has got 1 less goal contribution in the EPL this season than Watkins, and he's played 1400 less minutes. Daka has got 2 less goal contributions than Watkins, and he's played 1300 less minutes, and is totally new to the league. Give Daka another season or two then compare them, luckily we've still got Vardy for another 18 months whilst we wait. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic but also the downsides. Sending them to, for example Fulham (maybe Forest ) would likely get them game time, but it’s in a team that would be fighting where we would not to be, at the wrong end of the table. Also, Vardy will be 67 next year and we need more cover than just CDK and Kel, especially if we managed to get into Europe (via ECL win) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
