You suggest he is not good enough. We are now in the Championship so the insinuation here is that he is not good enough for the Championship. You then say £8mill is not enough. Which is it? In my mind, players ‘not good enough for the Championship’ would not command fees are close to £8mill anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside info? I’ve heard stuff along similar lines from someone who had interactions with him or his team before his time with us. Supposedly can be very difficult and very demanding in what he wants but gives little in return. I can’t comment on him being ‘thick’ nor would I. I’ve always liked him for us, I think sometimes he looks clumsy, but he scores goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edingleyfox Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 So far in this window Leicester have made generous offers for 2 players whilst selling Madders cheaply. Strikers are rarely sold at a discount and surely the finances don’t force a sale at this price. I’d be inclined to get another striker in start pre season and see what offers come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 On the face of it, 8m seems very low. But I wonder whether wages are a factor here. (maybe no relegation reduction?) So maybe this is a sale we need and not one that we want. I really like Nacho, but let's not forgot he blows very hot and cold. At his best he's a goal and assist machine. At his worst he looks like a pub player. Sell for the right price for me. 15m seems reasonable given last year of contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Finn Claw II Posted 2 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 July 2023 Nacho was absolutely putting the effort in at the end of last season - he clearly cares about the club (or his wages or winning). i can’t believe we are questioning his mentality. it’s the same fee as Coady - it’s madness in terms of a fee 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 I'm not sure how it's possible but I think Iheanacho is the most underrated and overrated striker I've ever known. Drifts from one to the other and I'm still not sure if I'm a fan of him or not. That said, would absolutely smash the championship and would rather him go for nothing next year than for £8m to Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookfox Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 Problem with Kel is you either get an 8.5 or 4.5 performance. When he’s on form he’s a Top6 striker, when he’s off form the ball bounces off him and you wonder if he’s ever played football! Kind of suggests he’s got the ability but possibly not the right mindset to do it week in week out. You can argue that’s the managers job but some of it has to come from within. £8m is low, but realistically only by say £3-4m given his and our situation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in forest's case, we should weigh up not only our own benefit but theirs too. We only deal with them if we believe it benefits us AND causes them harm (like the Wes transfer) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 8 hours ago, gw_leics772 said: This is one I would just say no. £8m is not a lot to lose and if we made him main man and he tore the championship a new arsehole, we could hopefully convince him to stay. And if we don't need him, well 8m is **** all compared to promotion (and let's face it, the only way we don't need him is if we rip up the league without hm starting. It's all IFS though, yet we could get a fee for nacho and go all in on a 25 year old whos scored 44 goals in the championship over 2 seasons, and have hiim on a 5 year contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said his mindset isn’t good enough (for what I think we require) not that he isn’t good enough player for the championship. He will get us goals in the championship and is worth more then 8 million, but if we get promoted I feel we need players with a different personality. though I admire him for not kicking up a fuss over lack of game time, it could to some like myself, highlight a fundamental flaw between those that want to play and keep striving to improve vs those that don’t. Maddison another example. Whether we like him or not, he has that desire to keep improving, and has the attitude (some will say arrogance) to show that.

coolhandfox Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 I suppose after losing Soyuncu and Youri for free the club may be a little reluctant to let it happen again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxin_Mad Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 Yeah I mean 8m to a local rival who he would improve imeasurably, we cant do that not for 8m. If we had Forests pants down for say 20m id be open to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also depending on whether he wants to stay, we have far too many players last season who want out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be inclined to get another striker in start pre season and see what offers come in I suspect Spurs wanted more than £10m for Winks and that we knocked a little off the Madders fee so they knocked a little off the Winks fee. Winks and Coady are very good business at this level and their transfer fees will be peanuts if it gets us back up. Coady for the price is pretty much bang on what I'd expect to pay, Winks was a touch more but not much. Nacho leaving feels inevitable which is a shame as with Madders gone he'd finally get that number 10 slot he prefers. Hopefully we can get £10m plus as we'll need to spend on the forward line this summer with Barnes also likely off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 3 July 2023 Share Posted 3 July 2023 We all love Nacho because he comes across as a really good guy and has been one of the few players this year that genuinely looked like he gave a shit. That aside, apart from 1 purple patch, his time here has been disappointing. I think he'd be great to keep but imagine he's one of the bigger earners so again, getting him off the wage bill would be smart and if we can bring in around the £10m mark, i'd be open to it happening especially if it means us being able to bring in the lad from Swansea. Where he goes I don't think matters. Yeah it would be awful to see him go to Forest and do well, but let's be realistic, we've got bigger fish to fry at the minute.

Disappointing because he's had a manager that didn't use him. Had a tough start to his career here but he's turned it round massively and he's consistently been one of our best players when he's actually been played. Stats back that up and even when he's having a bad game, he still makes things happen. It's no accident that he gets more chances than anyone else when he's on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post STUHILL Posted 3 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 3 July 2023 Why are people missing the fact that Percy reported the squad had a 35-50% reduction in wages relegation clause. That makes giving players away like Iheanacho for £8million make a lot less sense. We will have to replace him, probably with a decent transfer fee and decent wages and on a 3-4 year contract. Surely the smarter investment is to keep a proven goal scorer on a much reduced wage, with a 12 month get out if he doesn't perform. His attitude has been first class during his whole time with us, despite the fact he has been messed around so much. An Iheanacho - Daka partnership could really blossom in the Championship and means we can focus our transfer activity on filling the midfield. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
