Because he goes for free at the end of season and I do not believe he has the mettle or consistency to fire us to promotion, but its opinions isn't it   

He would rip up the Championship. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

But given how little we stand to get for him now, wouldn't it be worth keeping him for a year even if his contract runs out at the end of it? If we stood to get £25m if we sold him now, I'd agree with you. But not for the poxy amounts being quoted.

 

I was being facetious mate I wasn't being serious. If he doesn't sign then eventually his contract will run out so he'll go. 

 

I'd keep him if there's not a good offer yeah.

As a business decision its no decision at all. He's an asset that will depreciate to zero in a years time. So if selling him now funds a replacement in Piroe who due to his current contract status means he's also going for less than market value and so at worst is going to retain that value in a years time, then from a business perspective its obvious you sell.

And £3 mil in wages saved too.

I concur. Both that he would rip up the Championship and that Dahnsouff needs help.

Is one school of thought! Onions innit 

[Jazzy_Jeff]

For the sort of money we’re talking about it would be stupid to let him go. 
 

if he played all season he’d fire us to the title imo 

[Dusty]

Same people getting annoyed that we let contracts run down are now saying we should hold onto him. Make it make sense. 

[coolhandfox]

We need a total rebuild, it's going to be painful.

 

We can't keep letting players leave for free! 

 

If Nacho does, along with Youri and Soyuncu that's 85m (based on what we paid) worth of players with no return.

The seethe on here when he stays but Enzo does not pick him

Because the argument that we shouldn't let players run contracts down obviously does not apply in every case. Let's say you have a quality player who you think is worth at least £25m with a year left on his contract. If another club comes in with an offer of £25m, you might think, "It's worth taking this money now to avoid getting nothing next summer."

 

However, if that club only offers £8m, you might think, "Well £8m isn't going to help us massively and we think player X could really help us get promoted, which will be worth a lot more than £8m, so it's worth keeping him even if there is a risk that he goes for nothing next summer."

 

It all comes down to what you can get for the player now - sometimes it is worth letting them run down their contract if you only stand to get peanuts for them in the present.

Watching him play and paying attention

No doubt he has been good on occasion and that was  never in doubt, but he has also been totally honking. 

 

Guess the intention of tge powers that be will become apparent. Has Enzo commented on Kel yet?

Not as far as I'm aware. But the fact that Kel was going to start yesterday in Vardy's absence would suggest he's ahead of Daka in the pecking order...

Actually one of the stronger parts of his game.

Ur kidding he and daka are the worst at controlling the ball played to them

It makes sense because the fees being suggested are not enough to outweigh the potential loss, IF he fired us back to the Premier League, which he well could. It’s a bit of a gamble, but probably worth it frankly.

His control isn't perfect, but I believe your original comment was regarding your desire for a plyer to hold the ball up and bringing midfielders into play. Even Rodgers admitted that Iheanacho was good at this, hence his desire to have two inside forwards playing so they could go inside, when Iheanacho collected the ball from deep. This was best exemplified when Iheanacho set up Tete's goal against Villa away.

[The_77]

Imagine if we had a forward with these kinds of stats in the Premier League to lead our Championship campaign.

 

Jamie Vardy has ruined this place’s expectations from strikers.*

 

 

 

 

*As has Rodgers’ poor man management.

I'm torn on Kels whether to cash out or play on. He'll win us games but also lose us games, fluffing our one big chance. 

 

If he goes,.I'll miss his perfectly weighted through balls. This part of his game is so so underrated / underappreciated. 

 

So many examples where he lays a chance on a plate. As a random example, his two v PSV, one for Barnes first half and an over shoulder lift for Daka late on.

Hope the rest of the squad are an above Daka. Well apart from Soumare

There's no way games are won or lost in the championship on one big chance.  There will be multiple times to score and most of those when they come the way of opposition tend to be missed rather than taken.  That is the main difference between the leagues.  Chances taken/not taken.

 

Selling Kels is not an option.  I wouldn't sell him.  He's worth the wage alongside saying no to anyone who puts in a bid.

Well because allowing yet another player to run his contract down has resulted in our position being that weak that there's a genuine case to keep him for a year as we're being offered **** all.

[Tanya]

Kel is better than Everton. 

[Turtle27]

If we lose him it’s not going to be easy to replace him, Piroe apparently off to Leeds. Who else would slot right in? We need  to keep him
