Izale McLeod linked with Leicester

[SilverFox]

to be fair I'm not fussed.

If it isn't him it will be someone else. I for one would rather take any money we were contemplating spending on McLeod and using it for wages for either Saganowski or Todorov or both.

If we get McLeod I would be happy if we don't I won't lose sleep...by all means you can keep him with my blessing.

[The Reverend]

Tis getting very, very tiresome.

I do think we'll sign him though.

[Jack]

We should sign him. But i don't think he is worth 1.4 mil

[RedOnRed]

We should sign him. But i don't think he is worth 1.4 mil

I thought we're asking £2 million, so if you do get him for £1.4 million you're bagging a bargain....

The best solution for both clubs could be for you to take him on loan. That way if he does perform for you we can double the price and if he doesn't we get him back knowing he'll bag at least 24 goals a season for us.

You dont reckon the situation could change now Ince has been appointed do you?

i think MM has played his joker on this one. He knows troyes will accept 700k for saganowski so why should he have to up the price for mcleod? thats probably a reason that will keep the price down. Ince will want him to stay but equally will want him to leave if his heart is not in the club, i dont think we will pay more than 1m for him. ince will want to put his hand on some dosh.

We've already turned down £1 million offers for him and really don't need to sell him for the money. It shouldn't be assumed that every club in our position is in dire need of cash.

The question then arises as to whether we should let him go whilst he's under contract out of sympathy to allow him to fulfill his personal aspirations. The club's policy is that we shouldn't stand in the way under those circumstances.

If he really wants to go then we will let him, but rest assured only at the right price and that won't be bargain basement. So best not to start thinking that you'll have us over a barrel on a knock down price.

Of course we haven't got you over a barrell, but when a player is put on the transfer list for the second time in a year and has serious interest from a much bigger team then the value will decrease.

I wouldn't want him for anything over £750,000 so if there's no way of us getting him for that, then I hope we fail to get him.

He's been available either officially or unofficially longer then that.

£750,000 may be all Leicester might want to pay but there are Premiership teams interested that probably would go higher.

Ssshhhh! Stop replying and I might catch up with you.

I don't think that is true.

i wouldnt say you need the money to pay bills but to buy players- also no one wants a player at their club who doesnt want to be there- one reason why we let our captain go recently to charlton.

you must be realistic and understand 2m for him is silly money. especially when billy sharp from a promoted team in the division above you is going for 2m- also its looking like freddy eastwood will go for around 2m and you cant surely think mcleod is around the same quality as him?

also MM is far too shrewd to pay above someones value

[dandannieldanok]

Really?

Whoever the premiership teams are they are likely to struggle if McLeod is a target.

No offence

L ol, apparently Bolton and Man City have shown interest.

I know £2 million's a bit steep but he is a proven scorer, albeit at a lower level.

Look at Theo Walcott, he cost Arsenal £5 million at 16 years old which might rise to £12 milion and he's barely played 90 minutes for any team.

I hope for his sake he doesn't join Bolton, not his ideal style.

Did you just liken McLeod to Walcott...?

...doubt any prem club are seriously looking to sign him, and if they are i doubt they'll cough up £2mil for him (though unlike LCFC they can afford to risk that sort of cash), the fees involved for Walcott, Bale or (potentially) Nugent were all for young players who had excelled in the championship not for players who'd done well in the old fourth division, there is a massive, massive gulf.

MkDons need a reality check... when Saga is going for under (or maybe just about £1mil) and the likes of Eastwood for £1.5mil and then Sharpe for closer to £2mil, there is no way that McLeod will attract a higher fee than a player like Saga, with his record in this league, and certainly no way that he could justify a fee in excess of what the likes of Eastwood or Sharpe would command... wont happen!

To be honest it seems that MkDons are desperately trying to off load him (no idea why?) and trying everything to do so, transfer listing him, hinting that they'll lower the asking price, suggesting that there's prem interest... there's be no suggestion at the LCFC end that a sum anywhere near £1mil is even being considered, it all seems to be emanating from MkDons... why do they want rid?

Hmm,

Walcott had barely played in this league and Bale not much more either, they were bought for potential not because they'd already exelled (Nugent is different I'll grant you that). Saga has played 13 games in this league and whilst I'd love him here McLeod has scored 20+ goals three seasons running and was player of the year and top scorer in his division last year. Plus MA knows him far better than any of us and knows what we's really worth. I would love us to sign McLeod and really hope some people on here don't get down on him before he's kicked a ball in anger. He's still young, still improving and could have a great future with us.

I haven't likened McLeod to Walcott. I was just illustrating the element of risk when paying a relatively large or inflated transfer fee on an unproven player at what ever level.

McLeod has been with the Dons for a few seasons now and throughout many of those there's been more scouts then you can throw a stick at watching him.

I know of at least one team that has made a bid of £1 million for him which has been turned down over the past year.

The player has officially asked to go on the transfer list and no doubt will be sold to a combination of the highest bidder and a club that he wants to go to. It's his choice and the Dons will assist in letting him go but at the right price for them.

[Fez of Mahrez]

Saganowski is a special case. Saints agreed the fee with Troyes before he went on loan there and as such, they are committed to buying him at that price. I would imagine Troyes want rid and would thereforce accept a similar fee if he went anywhere else so as not to appear unfair to other clubs. In reality his goals for Southampton have jacked his value up to something like £1.5million in my eyes.

You have to remember that McLeod is 22 and Saganowski is 28 (think those ages are right) which will play a huge part.

Oh and Pete Winkelman is a twat.

[Fez of Mahrez]

The player has officially asked to go on the transfer list and no doubt will be sold to a combination of the highest bidder and a club that he wants to go to.

So if Bristol City are the highest bidder and he wants to go to Tranmere Rovers, are you going to sell him to Bristol Rovers?

[morris1234]

well im sure he would talk to both clubs then and see which one he most likes the look of, deal wise(wages ,add ons etc) and for his career (fanbase, stadium etc!)

For the last time...

League Two!

...yes he scored goals in League One, but he hasn't scored 20 goals a season for three seasons, simply because he's scored 54 goals in his three years with MkDons, a decent tally? Yes, absolutely... but these are goals in League One and Two, does that disqualify him as a potential transfer target? No, he'd be a decent acquisition for a reasonable fee... but a fee in excess of £1mil for a League Two striker is simply not a "reasonable" fee!
