Tell me how many goals you'd have liked him to have scored with that. We're not really creating a great deal for your strikers right now are we let's be honest. He's not done a great deal wrong.

It will have nothing to do with enzo if 15m comes in for nacho and he’s not going to sign a new contract he will be sold same with daka how many goals they both scored this season again oh yeh 1 between them!

The Fans of the Club may not readily accept a second shafting in a short space of time. Any how, lets see how this pans out over the next 36 hours. As someone already pointed out, the 15-20m fee against not going up this season is an interesting financial equation. This on top of what we have lost since last May. What fan pressure. Half the fan base will still say 'well we had a good 10 years what more do you expect' and tell us how ungrateful we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume its improved over the championship wages he was reduced to. Presumably the reality is that this will still get nowhere near other PL contracts on the table.

But we need that central striker, and if Kel leaves now we have less than 36 hours to get the replacement in through the door. Goals from your wingers, in this system, require someone playing centrally in a deep lying No.9. While Kel has had a very up and down career with us, he's decent at coming deep, far better than most give him credit for on here, and bringing others in to play. Who are we bringing in before the window closes to do that job? That's the worry. Without the pull of the premier league and with our apparent lack of urgency in recent years I think I'd rather keep and stick devil we know better 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernpark Posted 31 August 2023 Share Posted 31 August 2023 Surely it's inconceivable that we've spent the whole of this transfer season without a contingency plan, if or when Iheanacho, Daka or Vardy would be let go.

coolhandfox Posted 31 August 2023 Share Posted 31 August 2023 (edited) If he goes, I think we will just look to Vardy and Daka until January. We play a 1 upfront system, I suspect Enzo/club would see that 2 of either Vardy & Nacho or Vardy & Daka would be enough. I wouldn't even be surprised to see us use a false 9 Edited 31 August 2023 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we sacked a manager after the international break, with no replacement lined up hoping a goalkeeper coach and assistant could keep us up … it’s unfortunately highly conceivable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 31 August 2023 Share Posted 31 August 2023 27 minutes ago, StanSP said: We've offered him massively improved terms on a new contract. That's staggering if so. He'll already be on best part of £50kna week here after his reduction due to relegation. We've absolutely no business paying players more than that at this level, it will bury us. By all means pay a big bonus for promotion and a wage increase if we achieve it but we have to learn from our mistakes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what i've put above really mate, I'm not expecting him to have scored a tonne, as I don't think he is an important part of what we are doing this year. The 9 is a body to hold things up and link play, and i'm confident whether it's him, Jamie or someone else, that we'll get the job done this year, which is why i'm not overly attached to him. Especially not for that amount of cash in his final year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
