goody2028 Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 Ask me a year ago and I’d want to cash in for what we could. Now I think we should keep him. Been one of our best players second half of the season at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charl91 Posted 28 July 2020 Share Posted 28 July 2020 I'd like him to stay, but I think he should go for his sake. Clearly a quality player, but Rodgers doesn't seem to rate him for some baffling reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 (edited) I think the games he got subbed were bad tactical decisions, but no player shouldn't have any right to consistent run of games, and I dont know why been subbed would affect confidence either. However it will be interesting to see if he is happy here, or will take a chance at another club, given how he has improved and we tend to play better with him on the pitch, I would like to keep him.

Jon the Hat Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 His recent form has to put him in the £20-25M bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don t forget some of any of the substitutions, right or wrong perspective are only opinions... I want him to stay,I would like to see him make it difficult for Rodgers to Pull him. No matter if this season he has improved,he has to get better and must Score more Goals...He ans Coaching team must Target 16+ goals...Plus goals then our European exp!oits...!!

martyn Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 If we got Edouard and lost Nacho with a net spend of around £10m i wouldnt be too disappointed. Credit to him for how he improved, but we've had half a reasonable season out of him at best. People can blame Rodgers for mismanaging him if they like, but i think Nacho lacks a little bit of dynamism /spark in his game. Technically adept and a good finisher but just lacks that bit extra imo. If Rodgers doesnt fancy him, best to cash in whilst his stock is reasonably high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 Doubt he'll be going to Newcastle now after the Saudi's pulled out of the deal, unless he's part of a player + cash deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybradger Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 (edited) I dont think edouard is the complete upgrade over iheanacho that people think he is. He shares the same problem of nacho of not making runs into space like a striker like vardy would, both of them need the ball at their feet to score goals. I think nacho is getting better at making runs like this whereas if we buy edouard we have to start at ground zero again. I also doubt that edouard can play through balls like nacho can, i think if nacho plays a full season his ability to drop deep and play line splitting passes to our wingers will be very useful.

What is he going to do if he stays here? wait for Vardy to retire? change his physical characteristics? buy Brendan some flowers? Seriously, he seems a lovely fella, so he should go and be the main man somewhere. (I think he could with faith and a run of games) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 Would it be silly to sell him for the right money? I don't think so. As I said in another thread, he does miss a fair few chances. He is obviously a good finisher but always lacks something for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty98 Posted 30 July 2020 Share Posted 30 July 2020 How many back up strikers have an output as good as Iheanacho? He's proven he can score goals for us, why sell him and get another striker who will be second choice to Vardy anyway? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he misses many chances at all, look at the other players, Madison, Tielemans, Barnes even Vardy have all been wasteful. Iheanacho's finishing has been great this season, He's young and improving. Do you think we would get a better proven premier league striker?

Not only that but his link up play has been really good lately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's much better for all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messerschmitt Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 We should have started him more last season, rested Vardy and bought him on later in games if needed, like in the home Villa game before lockdown, Iheanacho does seem to link play up better and doesn't get as isolated as Vardy. Could easily see him get 20+ goals in a season playing more. The comments about selling him reminds me of the time people on here wanted to sell Vardy to West Brom for 3 million, some where going to drive him there.

STEVIE B Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 He can’t be happy. Seems that whatever the state of any game, score, how we’re playing etc, he gets hauled off after an hour if he’s started ( Bournemouth at HT ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comments about selling him reminds me of the time people on here wanted to sell Vardy to West Brom for 3 million, some where going to drive him there. If that's partly aimed at me, I always backed Vardy. Go back to the thread years ago and you'll see. I just don't see it in Kelechi. No chance would I ever see him getting 20 goals. He just doesn't seem sharp or switched on enough. In fact, you can come back to this post in years to come and quote that. As always I will hold my hands up if I'm proven wrong. I was so excited when we signed him, given his record at Man City was superb but then again he did play in a better side with so many creative players. I think he's ok but there will be better options with the right scouting (abroad). £25m would be a good return for him but I wouldn't sell without getting another striker in, maybe two.
