His stats are good to be fair over total minutes played. I agree but he's also on 80k a week here. If nobody else is prepared to pay him that then we may be able to keep him but I can't see us offering those wages again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s defiantly on 80k then that needs looking at bottom half prem strikers wouldn’t be getting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 5 March 2021 Share Posted 5 March 2021 Nacho come down to him, I'd imagine the club would be willing to offer him an new deal, but not on 80k. So its going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its going to be interesting. I’m not sure that’s true. 80k a week for him is a lot cheaper than dropping 20-30 million on a new striker at even 50k a week (they would realistically expect more than 50k anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 5 March 2021 Share Posted 5 March 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: Iheanacho is reportedly on 80k a week here, he is highly unlikely to get that sort of money again bit him being available on a free or at a cut down price will make him more desirable to other teams and him still be able to get chuffed up more than he would do if we were selling him with a few years left on his deal. I'm not sure how it will play out by I think he will move on. Whilst it is alot he does score goals. Youd be surprised what a newly promoted side might be willing to pay for a proven prem goalscorer Look at the type of deal QPR and Fulham made in recent times. Aston villa for the lads from belgium Im sure Nacho would seem good business compared to some of that tripe Edited 5 March 2021 by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardinio'sCat Posted 5 March 2021 Share Posted 5 March 2021 2 hours ago, filbertway said: Haha mate if we signed Haaland people would forget the name Vardy quicker than the man himself could down a jagerbomb. Him and Mbappe are two of the best strikers on the planet - proper world class, not the fake world class that some people think our Vardy is. His next stop will be somewhere like PSG, Man City, Juventus. We probably do have a better chance of signing him than Bayern do though, so we can take a crumb of comfort in that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are buying a new striker even if he sign a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 5 March 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 5 March 2021 2 hours ago, filbertway said: See if it was down to him firing us to a title we wouldn't have bombed the season after. The truth of it is that he's a very good premier league striker who has been afforded more minutes than most strikers at this level as well as being a penalty taker, so his numbers always look impressive. I actually spent ages doing a comparison of his minutes/goals ratio and it came out very similar to most of the "main" strikers in the league. He was very similar to Callum Wilson and Danny Ings I understand I'm in a minority, probably the same minority that doesn't believe that Danny Simpson and Marc Albrighton aren't the greatest players never to get an England cap This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen on the Internet.

CrispinLA in Texas Posted 5 March 2021 Share Posted 5 March 2021 Arsenal have of a knack of not giving their foreign youngsters playing time in the 1st team, if Arteta wants Gabriel Martinelli to go out on loan this summer to another EPL club we should sign him. He's going to be a future star and we may get a chance to sign him up permanently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facecloth Posted 5 March 2021 Share Posted 5 March 2021 (edited) Over their whole premier league careers, Vardy has 0.54 goals per 90 minute, or a goal every 166 minutes. Barnes has 0.36 goals per 90 minutes, or a goal every 249 minutes. Don't know what stats @filbertwaywas looking at, but for those two as an example it's not even close. For Ings it's slightly closer, 0.46 goals every 90 minutes or a goal every 192 minutes. But still shows Vardy a level above.
