theessexfox Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 So if we brought another Harry Kane in, suffered (even more of) a slump in goal scoring from our strikers until January and were well out of automatic contention you think everyone would be fine with that? I'm not trying to be a dick here but it's situations like these you realise how difficult a managers job is. I'm sure they wouldn't sell if there wasn't a decent loan or signing lined up. Nugent's hardly flowing with goals right now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 Alot of teams serious about promotion from this league have hung onto the better players and added decent players to the squad. If we sell the likes of nugent it will for me make it clear that the club are more serious about complying with the financial regulation than promotion. Nugent offers more to the team than goals, and his experience if we are serious about promotion will invaluable. Looking at the teams in the championship that are amongst the teams we expect to be challenging for promotion they have very good squads, but for me the squad we have,is very light weight, with a steady starting 11 and very little as decent back up. So looking at the teams around us I think we will be lucky to make the play offs and without the likes of nugent around, I would say virtually impossible.

Haydos Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I'm sure they wouldn't sell if there wasn't a decent loan or signing lined up. Nugent's hardly flowing with goals right now anyway. But he has given us them in the past. He's proven. Bringing in a loan signing is a gamble and there's not been a striker recently who's come in on loan and done the biz for us. I'm not saying there'd be nobody lined up but that there wouldn't be much chance of getting a decent replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you'd be mad to refuse £2.5M for a player who will leave for free at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a "free" means we paid him a bulk to join us rather than paying a fee to a club he got a few hundred thousand for joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it's a very big decision. Promotion chances rest on things like this. get rid of a guy who's scored 15 odd goals for us in the past or have Harry Kane leading the line for us....

TheUltimateWinner Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 With the money from these transfers going out i would of made sure key out of contract players were kept on for another few years then look to buy. If we loose the likes of Wes, Kasper & Nugent because we signed Miquel & Hammond then that is one of the poorest moves management has ever made.

Strokes Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I would be amazed if there was a club prepared to offer more than a mil for him tbh. Id take even a mil for him, he isnt worth his wages for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Walsh5 Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 The only worry I'd have if Nugent did leave would be Pearson's and his staffs ability to find a decent replacement. In my opinion in he doesn't have a very good track record in finding strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 Look around in the loan mark, while we sniff for a permanent signing for January? Which players then? It's alright talking about the loan market and January, but you need a few decent names first. Last thing we want is to sell one of our best players then not having a replacement lined up, especially a player who is as good as Nugent. Nugent would be a massive loss to us.

I'm not a scout, I'm sure Walshy and NP have a few possible replacements in mind if they'll sell (which they probably won't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDS Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I like Nugent, both as a player and as a person. But as others have said, 2.5m is a great deal with 1 year left in contract, his high wages and his current scoring record. We could still loan a decent striker.

Haydos Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 The loan market stays open, so you wouldnt have to panic. But we lose our (arguably) main striker. I keep saying this, are you happy to gamble our promotion chances this early on? Say Wood gets injured, we then have Vardy and Waghorn up front. Is that okay? Who do you think we could get on loan?

Haydos Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 It's alright everyone saying "I'm not a scout" and everything but when you have strong opinions on things, you should have something to back up your arguments. Especially when the same people will be back a few months down the line knocking any decisions that happen to have been made wrongly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 If he moved to a team like QPR, he would probably score more goals, by getting a better service from his team mates. I find it very hard to believe that we would get 2.5 million pounds for him. Finding a decent replacement for him, would also be extremely difficult at this point in the season, so I would be concerned if he was to go now.

jamesmilner Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 weak, weak , forward out of form , no one in their right mind will pay that amount . just wish he'd produce £28,000 a week football he's being paid for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 1 September 2013 Author Share Posted 1 September 2013 Personally would sell but that is due to FFP. Has been good and prolific, but IMO not for awhile now. Only worry is if somebody isn't lined up as a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
