Eddie Nketia

[MPH]

Haha!

 

Leicester City have joined Crystal Palace and Brentford in the race for Eddie Nketiah, FootballTransfers can reveal.

The Championship side believes that covering the Arsenal striker’s wages won't be a problem if they get promoted, while Jamie Vardy is likely to move on at the end of the season, which will free up £150,000 a week, we are told. Brentford are anticipating the departure of Ivan Toney, and Crystal Palace have shown long-term interest in Nketiah in previous windows.

He’s raw but I’d like to think has more upside than those we have. 

[Mike Oxlong]

May be able to get this done if  Arsenal and Eddie are willing to accept payment of fee and wages in Monopoly money

Just get King Power / OHL to pay him and not Leicester. All gravy then.

Is this allowed under PSR and FFP? If it is you would question why we haven’t done this before - for example with Rodger’s wages.

 

Wasnt one of the (many) charges linked to Man City allegedly hiding / routing payments of wages to Mancini via third party company?

Yes, it was.

Not for me, I think we will be shopping in a completely different market if we go up. Young players that have sell on value and are not already on big wages.

Yep it'll be young players proven at Championship level.

[Mickyblueeyes]

A few years ago, if I remember rightly we were offered Eddie and Nelson plus a few million for Maddison. With hindsight, seems like a good deal now. Didn’t at the time

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Ignore every single transfer rumour. All of them.

We'll look back on this thread in the summer and laugh as Jutkewicz arrives on pay as you ply

[filbertway]

25 in the summer - coming into his prime. Not really done anything of note in his career. Give him 100k a week and a 5 year contract!

[MPH]

I see everyone is glossing over the fact it mentions Vardy is on his way out. Which may or may not be true, of course… they might just be guessing. Depends on his wage demands, I suppose…

And that is says he is on 150k a week 

[st albans fox]

I guess we haven’t bothered to tell the recruitment dept what’s going on then ……

Did he not take a pay cut for relegation? If he didn't it's absolutely criminal that we did not try to mutually terminate in the summer. But surely he had a cut in his contract?

Well, if we are seriously going to go after Nketiah, it will be becasuse we are in the prem in which case id be very surprised if  any surviving players  wages wouldnt have been restored back to previous prem wages levels..

Could be quite costly then—I hear he has many layers.

He doesn't have a contract and there's been no mention of an extension discussion - they are putting 2 and 2 together and getting 4. It's not news is it?

I think its fairly clear  what they are saying - he is not going to be offered a new deal.

[Scanchez]

Buy him and then buy loads more players.

Use all that money we have to buy loads of players.

 

[Torquay Gunner]

Sorry to say, but he is a championship level striker at best.  I wouldn’t be unhappy to see him leave.

This sounds like your wife deciding to go to Tenerife instead of the Maldives this year when you've just explained to her you've lost your job, you're overdraft and credit cards are maxed out and you can't pay the bills or mortgage this month.

Pretty much Gerald's story from The Full Monty.

 

Maybe Top, Rudders and Susan can do a charity striptease event.....

Nketiah? What exactly has he done to convince anyone that at his age he's now Premiership standard?  Think I'd rather start getting Cannon ready now!
