He's a cult hero for a reason, and the epitome of the player whos loved because he doesn't play much. 1 year means out, no matter what. It has to be a red line. Who bloody knows what is the right salaries are but it was reported he was on about 90k a week. Even with the reduction thats huge.

Jack1993 Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 Getting Iheanacho for 8 million is an absolute steal and if that's the price we are negotiating at then I'm surprised that there's not loads of clubs lined up to match or beat that kind of offer. Guaranteed Premier League goals and assists and he barely ever started games. There's 14 to 16 squads that he would improve in that league, for that price even as a bigger club I'd buy him and start him in every League cup & F.A cup game (I realise he might turn on offer like that down personally).

Clever Fox Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 For 8 million I'd sooner keep him for this season. He's a quality finisher who dare I say it has got under BR. His movement is much better outside the box which has added another dimension to his game. 8 milion is an insult of an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 We aren't getting anyone remotely close to his level for £8m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger63 Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 If we are only get £8m for him, then keep him. We won't get anyone near his level to replace him for £8m. I thought the £25m being talked about for Barnes was laughable. £8m for Nacho is just an insult! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will be looking at it as 8m + the 90k a week he's on saving... Don't forget his contract is up next summer and doesn't want to sign another one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grebfromgrebland Posted 10 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 10 July 2023 If nacho goes then that pretty much everyone who can score or create gone from the squad. We're better have some very special scouting going right now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 We haven't got value for money from him whichever way you look at it. Some of that isn't down to him, but let's not pretend he's something he's not. Looking at what he's produced for us in his time here, we clearly overpaid for him when we bought him. He's only really been slightly more acceptable as a signing than Perez because of the purple patch of form he had a couple of years back. With a year left on his deal, he should go. Is £8m too low? Probably but only just. I'd would have expected about £10m but in the interest of moving forward as a club, if it gets it done quick and allows us to move on, take the money and bid a warm farewell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if we believe what we were told by John Percy the other week, then all the players wages have a clause that reduces them by between 30 and 50 per cent, if relegated, and I highly doubt that Nacho has been on over 100 grand a week previously.

People in this game largely know what they are doing. I am sure many of them look at Kels as a potential hidden gem that comes with huge risk. They will have far more insight into how he works, trains and behaves with coaches than we know about. If he was as good as many think he is, they would be queuing up for him.

Rusko187 Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 He's in last year of a contract isn't he? I love the guy but if he's not signing a new contract then it's time to grab what we can... cannot repeat last years mistakes and lose players on a free. If £8m is the fee, then so be it.. another fine piece of miss-management by our board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 titles in 7 years Posted 10 July 2023 Share Posted 10 July 2023 Anyone suggesting selling Iheanacho for £8million is good business or the preferred route at this point is moronic. He'd score 20 goals next season - well worth his wages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By “the purple patch of form” you mean when the manager was forced to give him a run in the side. He’s been really badly managed for me, everytime you think he’s undroppable / first name on the team sheet he was dropped. It’s almost like we rewarded his good performances with a seat in the stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think FFP comes into it right now as it’s based over 3 seasons in the championship I think we are not buying a striker that is capable of scoring and assisting for less than 15/20m so we should hang on to him hope he gets on with the boss and see where we are at next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also seems we have interest in the Swansea forward who wouldn't cost us that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
