Claudio Fannieri Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if Iheanacho ends up as a replacement for Mitrovic if he moves to Saudi, in fact given link to Castagne might be a chance of a £25m+ double deal 1

No value in cutting your nose off to spite your face, selling Iheanacho to whoever is neither here nor there, this isn't Barcelona selling Messi to Real Madrid in 2010. Just do the best deal for Leicester City. The best deal for Leicester City is to keep Kel in order to be promoted again. Because business is business promotion is worth more than a poxy 10 -15 million. Or are you one of those that would prefer to stay in the championship for years to come? Just out of curiosity 6 1

Just out of curiosity Well we could just as easily get promoted without Iheanacho and just as easily not get promoted with him. There are no guarantees. Would anyone be surprised to see Iheanacho behind Vardy and Daka as our lone striker? Why turn down a good fee for Iheanacho if he's just going to be on the bench which he probably will be?
FosseSpark Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 I'd be over the moon to see the below first game of the season. It's got a mobile defence that can pass and bring it out. It's got triangles all over the pitch and can get Ricardo and Kristiansen up the pitch and it should mean we have 3 in the box often when the ball comes in. Before we even sign anyone you've got Thomas, Souttar, Daka as decent options with 3 or 4 needed to give us flexibility. We need another midfielder, winger and striker now with some of the Barnes, Castagnes, Faes, Soumare, Praet money that might come in Hermansen Justin Coady Doyle Ricardo Ndidi Kristiansen Winks KDH Iheanacho Vardy 4

My view: all three will go who will we lose out of Ndidi, Soumare, Praet Choudhury (we need to keep 2 you'd have thought as we can't lose all of them!)? My view: Keep Ndidi, Praet - lose Soumare, Choudhury - they can't play Pep - ball which 1 of Daka / Iheanacho will stay. We need at least 3 strikers from day 1 given Vardy's age? My view: Keep Iheanacho til Jan at least (and ransom a Prem club then if needs be), buy Piroe, loan Daka who comes in to replace Maddison/Barnes (60% of our goals and assists)? If we get any of Cairney, Casadei and Diallo i think we can call that an unbelievable close season despite losing so many players. Squad Hermansen, Storalrcyk, Smithies Justin, Ricardo, Coady, Souttar, Doyle, Nelson, Kristiansen, Thomas Ndidi, Praet, Winks, KDH, Casadei, Diallo Albrighton, Maswanhise, Madivadua Piroe, Vardy, Iheanacho That squad has to gel and concede no goals from the off or we will be drawing a lot of games due to lack of threat. We can't be conceding often as i can see us huffing and puffing in a lot of games and having to win 1-0 when attacking is shit. I could be wrong and we could keep all three strikers, add Diallo and be flying for goals from all over the team !

fuchsntf Posted 18 July 2023 Posted 18 July 2023 This is going to be a heavy telling season…and FT is too much concerned of getting rid of some of our better players.. when one goes through the various topics,showing fans selection wishesand seeing the choice of teams ,honestly I could agree with most…but we also have to have quality cover,including some academy wanna-be‘s. So blindly picking players one selects for out.. I suggest some have a rethink on our needed cover & those fringe players some expect to be part of LCFC .who still seriously want to have their chance and have a go.!! There will be injuries,some academy players should be given their chance,but we also need some base of our initial squad, to step in,and many will be needed and some will be getting their fair share of gametime.like Praet,Faes,Ndidi,Choudhury. Sorry has a fan I don’t care too much about the money,there are highly paid recruit management that are paid to sort it out.I don’t want us to blindly throw names in the hat just because what they earn,or had a miserable relegation season..Then if 2-3 injuries even for only a few weeks, we need quality to step in,with the odd academy being given that break.

honeybradger Posted 19 July 2023 Posted 19 July 2023 18 hours ago, coolhandfox said: 50% of which came in 2 games (2 goals and 3 assists) Spurs & Villa. Let’s forget the hat trick of chances at Southampton. He’s a decent player in patches, but that’s not good enough, which is reflected in the clubs interested in his services even at a bargain price. Daka got 4 goals and 4 assists in 1179 minutes, does he deserve to be in the PL too? So youre willing to write off two of the very few games this past season season that he started but define his season on that one southampton game? Iheanacho's numbers are consistent over his entire career at leicester, it is a fact by now that he is a striker that gets a goal or assist every 130 minutes which is more than good enough to play in the PL. Also yes Daka is a PL quality striker, at a well run club where he gets consistent game time he would do well. 1

Promotion is worth more itself, of course, but how much you attribute to Nacho would be speculative. If we're in the region of £15m fee, and promotion is worth £150m then Nacho would need to improve our chances by more than 10% on his own. (Ballpark figs).

Ndidi in that role given the way Maresca wants to play...we'd lose more that we'd win! There are strengths to his game, but he's an atrocious footballer.

Serious question, not trying to be rude. Not sure you made it entirely clear - a little open to interpretation. Seemed like you’d be happy to exchange Nacho for Piroe. Think I’d rather lose the £8-£10 million on Nacho and get fired back to the Premier League. Wouldn’t be everyone’s view, granted.

GLC Posted 19 July 2023 Posted 19 July 2023 I genuinely think this comes down to whether or not he wants to sign a new contract during the season. We can’t afford to let players go on a free next summer.

So yea 15 million is **** all I agree with your sentiments re keep Nacho. However as regards '3 of the best strikers in the league' - I'm not so sure. Vards I feel is hugely on the wane. He shanks efforts that previously would have been meat & drink. Daka alas has hugely regressed in his time under Bodgers. So in short, I'm really not sure where we sit re accomplished strikers. If Nacho goes. I will be anxious with the other 2 being left. Unless someone good arrives.

I think you'd have to be very jaded and cynical about our squad to not think we've got three of the best strikers in the league here. Any other club in the division would absolutely bite our hands off for Nacho, Daka or Vards. Half the Prem would too. I think you'd have to be nuts to think Iheanacho wouldn't be perfectly good enough to lead the line for us in the Championship given his hit rate in the Prem. But we don't look like we're going to need three strikers and we need cash, Nacho is out of contract and seems the most keen to get himself a move so yknow. Ciao. 1

Foreverfox Posted 19 July 2023 Posted 19 July 2023 Just wondering if we are looking through blue tinted glasses too much. If he is that good and available for anything from £8m plus or whatever the reported bargain price is then where is the queue of buyers?
