He has one year left on his contract he will 100% be gone. He is not gonna sign a new contract in the championship on lower pay. I doubt it will be to forest be there is no way we keep hold of him. About 10m - 15m I would imagine. I won't be outraged if he went. He would be going with my best wishes, and respect. I will be outraged however, if it was to the scum that is Notts Forest! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 24 June 2023 Share Posted 24 June 2023 (edited) Again it's all the differing factors, how much would he go for? £15m, who could we get for £15m? Tbh, as much as I'd like nacho to stay, you have to take the money and reinvest it, unless nacho is willing to sign a new contract on championship wages, those with 1 year left have to go Edited 24 June 2023 by splinterdream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markko Posted 24 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 24 June 2023 His value should be higher than being quoted. He is a striker and proven. I know he has a year left but so does JM. If his value is so low I would keep him and he can then go on a free as we will not replace him with anything decent for that kind of fee. I think he will score.a.lot of goals next season in the championship. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 24 June 2023 Share Posted 24 June 2023 36 minutes ago, oz was my hero said: You mean 9 goals in 2 years that he was hardly used ? Why don't you factor in the previous season scoring I think something like 16 in 18 games or doesn't that suit? He perhaps didn't get the minutes but did appear in over fifty league matches one way or another. I think we need to revert to a Mitrovic style bully to get out of this division. Kelechi is not that style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HybridFox Posted 24 June 2023 Share Posted 24 June 2023 One of the players out the current crop that I'd still have fond memories of. But that will all be spoiled if he joins Forest. Unforgivable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'm so sick of this football club. Rip it up and start again, don't care where any of them end up. Vardy aside. Iheanacho has been treated pretty poorly here, he deserves to go and be 1st choice somewhere. I'd hope it's not Forest but so be it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble92 Posted 24 June 2023 Share Posted 24 June 2023 I do think it'll be an appealing option for him to see out his contract and get offered a bigger deal as a free agent. It's a strange one to leave for a team that will be fighting relegation again. The club should automatically refuse bids from Forest anyway. I used to detest the way we loaned players to Derby as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd hope it's not Forest but so be it. My thoughts entirely. I'd like him to sign a new contract and stay, as I believe he could be a real force in the Championship and beyond. However, Rodgers treated him like dirt and he probably feels soured with the club. Also, what sort of new contract are we able to offer him in the circumstances compared to Premiership clubs perhaps? We've wasted him. I wish him well whatever he chooses to do. There's quite a number I'd like to see gone way before him though. I may blame Rodgers for the majority of what's happened but there are quite a number of players who have stunk the place out. I've seen us relegated times over the decades but never felt so disaffected with the club. Trying to be optimistic, Enzo offers a new dawn and I'm more than happy to get behind him, he's potentially exciting compared to the other names mentioned. The boil needs bursting and the pressure released by getting rid of players, coaches and other staff that have contributed to the non fighting, unambitious malsise that hangs over the club, previously orchestrated by the malevolent Rodgers. Instant promotion is not a given by a long long chalk, this is going to take some rebuilding but I feel far more up for that than watching them continue under Rodgers. Had he stayed, even if we'd scraped staying up, I'd have called it a day. He, almost solely, was responsible for losing our identity. I'm looking forward to the new season.

Popular Post JimJams Posted 25 June 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 June 2023 Tbh I'm not sure going to Forest is all that much of a step up at the moment. Yes they're Premier League, but they're not established. They'll probably be fighting relegation all season again and so there's a very real possibility that anyone moving there ends up in the same position they're in with us now, playing in the Championship and looking for a move. The difference would be that with us if it doesn't work out after one season, he's free to do what he wants. If he signs for Forest on a 5 year deal and they're relegated, he's stuck with 4 years left on his contract and at the mercy of the club on his future. Unless a contract includes some very appealing clauses in favour of the player should they be relegated then I don't think it's a clever move. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , its no easy decision football wise as both teams are not stable.. It will be all about money. He is a professional and approaching 27 has a limited time left at the top. He and his agent will have to make their best guess at what course of action will be the most financially rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s hard to take but one thing we can throw back with certainty, they will never do what we did, no provincial club will again. We embarrassed the big boys to spend massively to ensure that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordersfox Posted 25 June 2023 Share Posted 25 June 2023 12 hours ago, S1DDO said: Why? Because despite the sanitisation of football and huge sums of money now involved for plenty of fans tribalism and rivalries still remain an important part of supporting a club. In fact it's an important part of any sport. It sharpens the senses, makes winning sweeter and losing all the more bitter. Sport would be much poorer without the great rivalries that run through it whether that be between individuals or teams. That doesn't mean I'm going to head over to the world famous (do fvck off) Trent Bridge tavern or whatever that dump is called and put a chair through the window. But it does mean I'm going to be hacked off if a player I like and admire leaves to our biggest rivals. To not care about that as a Leicester fan seems odd to me.

Rivalry is important but I was at Filbert Street in the seventies when the maniacs from Rangers and Chelsea caused mayhem. We must never have that again. The rivalry between Us and Forest is as much about the cities themselves as it is about football. Nottingham is a more high profile city but that is mainly because of Leicester spending centuries trying to be as anonymous as possible. That all changed when we at last did what they had and won the top league and football wise we are considered one of the more famous teams now. I don't hate Forest ,I remember some great matches in the past and some great nights out in Nottingham. If Kelechi does go there , I am sure it will be primarily a business decision.

Clever Fox Posted 25 June 2023 Share Posted 25 June 2023 If I were Kelechi I'd stay for the year. Have a supper season in the Championship and then have Clubs queuing up to sign him. He's already proven to be a Top Premiership striker and one of the few I think Rogers has improved. He's a 40 million pound striker all day long and coming into his prime. If I were the Club I'd be getting him to sign a new Contract and I'd sign a proper CF to play with him. We'd then score a lot of goals and have a good combination ready for the Premiership. Which I expect us to get back up next season. We need to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the skill comes into it. The manager needs to make him feel 10 ft tall and convince him to atay. The club can do it by offering a nice carrot with a big bonus on promotion back up. There's always a way in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
