Finnegan Posted 24 July 2023 Share Posted 24 July 2023 3 minutes ago, ClaphamFox said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry Posted 24 July 2023 Share Posted 24 July 2023 2 hours ago, JimJams said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 24 July 2023 Share Posted 24 July 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 24 July 2023 Share Posted 24 July 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ClaphamFox Posted 24 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 24 July 2023 2 minutes ago, Dusty said: Same people getting annoyed that we let contracts run down are now saying we should hold onto him. Make it make sense. 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The_77 Posted 24 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 24 July 2023 (edited) 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.

Paninistickers Posted 24 July 2023 Share Posted 24 July 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
