Kelechi Iheanacho

[StriderHiryu]

Really interesting and exciting signing if it happens. In all honesty I don't think we *need* a player like this, but what is so exciting is it gives us a team with Maguire, Ndidi, Gray, Chillwell and Ihenacho that can become a strong nucelus for a long time.

 

This player is still really raw but his finishing speaks for itself. Gabriel Jesus is a fantastic player but honestly I think that only Man City and Guardiola would let a player like this go. He has the potential to grow into a 20 goal a season Premier League striker. He could be a lynchpin for us for many years.

If we get sig, Gibson and kelechi I'll personally pay for rudders to go two weeks 5 star all inclusive to any canary island.

I'll chip in mate.

 

couldnt care less about the buy back clause. Would rather have him here with the clause than not at all.

If we get this guy, our business this transfer window would be exactly what I was crying out for 12 months ago,

 

After we won the league my mate asked where we needed to strengthen, I said we needed a younger, top level centre half, an experienced, powerful centre mid and a top quality, Prem proven striker to partner Vardy. Now we'd have all three. All we need now is another right back (Sig would be nice though)

 

WTF happened 12 months ago??!

I think they haggled to much in the past and lost players that way.

Ranieri was still in charge and didnt want to change anything?

A bit of a stretch to say he's proven, but I think himself and Shinji will play a bit of bench tag dependent on the opposition during the season, which in my view can only be a good thing.

He has the best goals to minutes ratio in premier league history.   How much proof do you need?

 

No way will he be on the bench.

didnt think we would capture iheanacho (even sounds like a pokemon)

 

so pleasantly surprised if/when this is sealed.

Yeah and suffered the consequences. Looks like they may have learnt their lesson.

Basically this transfer window shows that ranieri couldn't manage everything, and rudkin is owed a lot of apologies

Um. What about the buy-back though? I assume since the deal was going to go through for 20 for West Ham, the extra 5 is for no buy-back? What are folks thinking here? 

Who cares? At worst, think of it as a very expensive 2 year loan. And at the end of it, if City want him over anyone else in world football then it means he's done a good job...and let's face it, we wouldn't really be able to hold on to him anyway in that case, buy back clause or not...

See my post earlier! Can't wait til this goes through. Just hope we give him what the player wants (within reason) . But even if we overpay now I'm very confident he'll repay it with his performances and goals.

Ranieri as Shakespeare was the coach.

 

Rudkin has been the dof for both.

Leicester are ready to splash out £25million on Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho .

The Nigerian signed a new contract at City a year ago but has since fallen behind Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus.

 

Iheanacho scored 21 goals in 64 games for City since making his debut in 2015.Foxes boss Craig Shakespeare plans to play him behind star striker Jamie Vardy in a new-look attack.

MirrorSport revealed last week that the Foxes were stepping up their interest in Iheanacho.

 

His likely arrival casts doubt on a move for Watford's Troy Deeney with Leicester unsure about matching his huge £100,000-a-week salary.

 

Deeney's pay has been climbing steadily at Vicarage Road due to contractual clauses and he is now understood to earn six-figures a week.

[jonthefox]

Strange to think, that even with all their money, this will be Man City's record sale.

Watford are paying Deeney £100k p/w

Another signing for the u23's! Surely we'll do well in the checkatrade trophy this year!
