Maybe not the best finisher but good target man. I’m not sure doing okay against the biggest set of defensive clowns in the league equates to him being good. Ronnie Corbett would give Wout Faes something to think about aerially. 1

Dominic Calvert Lewin last season was like Iheanacho vs Southampton last season but every game. He had a couple good seasons but currently he is far from decent.
Mike Oxlong Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 Expect us to buy him again when we get back up for £40m
SkidsFox Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 Now Barnes and Madders have departed, I'd sooner hang onto Nacho. 3

It's going to be interesting to see what happens if Nacho goes Everton who will have the better season.

ARM1968 Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 (edited) If you could get Ali right, though, hell of a player. Shame to see such talent disappear so quick. Maybe it’ll never return. Edited 21 July 2023 by ARM1968 1

Safestandingfox Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 Wouldn't say no to Dele Alli with the right support structure around him, I think in the right environment he'd thrive 1

ARM1968 Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 Full disclosure, I used to despise Deli, but likely because he was so damned good. I just sort of feel sorry for him now and would love, for his sake, to see him regain what he had. He was mustard. If he wants it I’d give him a go for sure. But he needs a lot of arms around him. 1

If he did regain his confidence and form, it would be a devastating piece of business. I'm torn on it. He's suffered a lot of mental trauma and if he's now in a good place, at this level he's an obscene signing in a position we need someone of his skill set. 6
DezFox Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 (edited) I hope this all works out, I’m all for deadwood leaving and refreshing squad but so far looks like we are getting rid our our 3 best players haha Edited 21 July 2023 by DezFox 2

ALC Fox Posted 21 July 2023 Posted 21 July 2023 A bit of a streaky player. On form, Iheanacho is superb. And much, much more than just a poacher. I think he'd suit Maresca's style as a forward based on the right but cutting in. Or as a second striker in a two. His tendency to take difficult chances shouldn't be underestimated. It'd be a real shame to see him go to Everton but he will see significant game time. Calvert -Lewin's fitness can't be relied upon and he'll be ahead of Simms if he stays there. If we can afford his wages, he'd be worth keeping for a promotion push in my opinion. Missing out on £10m now might not be such a big deal, unless we really do need it for signings. 1

I actually think his streaky form could also be attributed to never been given a real run of games, and also never having a manager that really showed him 100% faith. I think he is a confidence player and if given a starting role just behind a typical no.9 striker, then he could do really well. His ability to turn and play the right pass has often won us games, not to mention his own scoring record where he often scored goals that Vardy simply didn't have in his locker. The biggest concern is his hit or miss first touch. It often bounces off him, and I don't think Enzo would have much patience for that (Daka take note!). Again, that could be because he has been a bit part player his whole time with us. I'd still prefer to keep him and start him behind a typical no.9, take the hit on £10 million and hope he proves his worth with 15-20 goals, which I think he is easily capable of at this level. I actually think he would jump at the chance to sign a new deal if we went back up with him playing a big part in that promotion. 1
