Whoever sanctioned him coming is probably the person that keeps on making these bad calls at the club. 1

I'm very surprised a desperate club hasn't come in for him in the belief thst as their main striker they have someone who can do what many can't and score regularly. I genuinely thought he’d be the player Newcastle came sniffing about for not Madders 4

Surely we could get £15m for him (just don't think we need 3 central strikers as we normally play 1 up front) and about the same for Soumaré (who I think could be an asset, based on his pre season, but who Rodgers is clear not keen on). Then ideally invest that £30m in a winger and get another winger on loan. And that's before we even flog anyone like Fofana or Youri. Random bit of information I know, the club has rejected around 2-3 offers each summer for the past 2 years for Kelechi. Not sure on why whether it was the offer or we want to keep him around. 1

Always thought it strange that he was still here, especially the way we play with one up top. If he is happy with how his career is going then fine.

I would have brought him on instead of Daka on Sat as he provides more midfield link up and presence up front, which we clearly missed I would have bought either him or daka on for vardy, and swapped Ndidi for Praet putting KDH and Tielemens infront iof the defense. Awful tactics *still angry*

I find that surprising because not once has there ever been a reported offer in the media and baring in mind the Nigerian press leak many stories first about Iheanacho and Ndidi before we find out in the British press, they'd have caught wind of at least one of them. 1

lcfc sheff Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 He’s definitely had offers, I was told if he was gone CDK would’ve been brought in

Same is happening with soyuncu who I’ve been told has been lost and a bit of a loner in training without cengiz but he confirmed as much in that interview he had!

We were only at 105% because of deferred payments from the pandemic. However the new FFP rules isn't just wages to turnover, its wages and transfers to turnover so I can see why we'll be looking to quickly cut things.

I felt CDK upfront would have resolved our whole system and would have been the final piece to link everything together. His not coming here was a big miss.
Deeg67 Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 CDK was always going to Milan, anybody else was just kidding themselves. 1

Scotch Posted 11 August 2022 Posted 11 August 2022 I've always suspected that it was between him and Praet to leave. Looks like it will be Bouba as per Percy's tweet.
UniFox21 Posted 11 August 2022 Posted 11 August 2022 Looks like the 3 who were left out the squad are going to be moved on. Hamza, already gone, and now appears Soumare and Vestergaard 2
