An Away Move Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I was at the Charlton game yesterday and one of the other fans seemed certain that Nugent was on the way out due to banner of him at the KP Stadium being replaced by Knockaerts (apparently). I just ignored it and thought he was mad for saying it, but am now beginning to wonder, especially as I have just seen a tweet saying Reading have made a bid of £2.65m (no source). Stringer has also just tweeted that he thinks someone might have to leave to accommodate Doyle, if he is incoming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 Would take £2.5million as much as I rate him (and that's highly - got a touch of class about him and has scored a good amount of goals for us). He can walk for free at the end of this season, he's no doubt a high earner and we'd be able to replace him with some of the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian the fox Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 Would take 1.5 million for Dave now , his record over the last 6 months has been very very poor Our problem is none of the current strikers are " tuned " in to each other ......

iamafox Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I personally don't want Nuge to go, he is an invaluable asset to us and if he does go then we can use the money for a suitable replacement which will be hard to find. But I can't see it happening anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 he doesn't seem to want to shoot any more, even when in space inside the box, that's if he's upfront instead of deeper then nay midfielder, not been impressed for a while and for his money he doesn't score anywhere near enough goals, with a year left on his deal I'd take anything over a Million I would actually love to see a front 3 of Schlupp Wood and Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 For those saying they'd bite someones hand off for 2.5m, what would you do after that? So many armchair fans here. Realistically who do you think we'd be able to bring in (a decent signing, probably a 1st choice striker as we don't have an obvious one right now) at this point for that price? Re-sign Fryatt for £750k and pay him not as much as Nugent. He would come back and would score goals. As many as Nugent? He was certainly on course to do so the first season back in the Championship.

He was certainly on course to do so the first season back in the Championship. I think we should be all over this like a rash. The downside is that his work ethic is nowhere near that of Nugent - they're not even comparable - and I think he's a bit too similar to Wood.

theessexfox Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I think if Nuge had slotted that home yesterday he'd be back in the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxLAD Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 What would be the chances of finding a replacement? At the start of the summer I would take it. Not now. Agree. Now is too late to sell him. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 1 September 2013 Share Posted 1 September 2013 I know it'd be a huge gamble to take - but Nahki Wells? If it's a release clause then we're left with little choice should someone come in with £2.5mil. I'd be disappointed to lose him but you've got to be sensible here - the bloke's got a year left, I can't see us renewing his contract unless he takes a pay cut (which I don't think he would) and he'd walk away for nothing a year later, where we're left in the exact same situation? I would miss Nugent but I think his form in 2013 hasn't been even close to worthy of £2.5mil and the wages he's reportedly on, and I think for that money you'd go a long way to getting us within the FFP boundaries - as well as signing a cheaper replacement. If we sold Nugent for £2.5mil and got Wells in for what, £750k? I don't think we've done bad business at all, especially if we land Doyle whilst shipping out Waghorn. It's going to be an interesting day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Agreed Dan. But after all that, we will probably sell Nugent and buy another centre back. If we're here in 24 hours with an attack of Waghorn/Doyle, Vardy & Wood, then yes I will be very concerned. As much as I'd rather we don't sell Nugent, I think we may have little choice and if we do actually get an offer of £2.5mil then it's goodbye for me.

Callabinho Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Nugent isn't leaving, and getting rid of him would pretty much end us for this season, those who oppose can argue all they want, David Nugent is one of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 2.5m for Nugent would be a very good price for me obviously we would have to players lined up though we would need 2 strikers Doyle and someone else Nahki Wells would be a good player to bring in as well!

muzzy1981 Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 I like Nuge but we have been crying out for a heskey type player for years, someone who can feed wood, Vardy and schlupp. Waggy can do this to a certain extent but notlike emile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 I'd only be happy for this to go through if we got a decent wedge for Nugent, and replaced him with either Doyle/Fryatt/Sharp. all three available for the right price - could probably get Doyle for a decent fee and get one of Sharp or Fryatt on loan. Would be very happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Wouldn't be the worst shout in the world actually. Wouldn't mind us putting a bid in for him anyway, regardless. Is he getting near Hull's first team? No he isnt. I agree with you that regardless i's take him back. Especially if we got rid of Marko Buttocks. Strike options of Wood, Vardy, Fryatt, Doyle/Nugent, Schlupp would be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theessexfox Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 If is a big word , he never got anywhere near the goal at the valley............we need more Except the one on one he had which he had a go with his left foot, just either side of the keeper and I reckon his campaign would have massively kickstarted.

Bryn Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Nahki Wells won't be available for £750k, he'll probably go for more than Nuge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmfox Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Nugent isn't irreplaceable like I would say Morgan is but he is an important player. For that amount of money and with FFP it might make sense to sell and buy someone who will be on lower wages. For £2.5m in the current market where clubs have started spending less we could buy a very good striker. The main issue is if we can do all of that before 11pm. I think he'll stay because we can't find a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionator Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 His wife/girlfriend is due to give birth so I can't imagine he'd be too eager to be rushing around agreeing a transfer with another team, but anyhow, play offs aside the guy has shown very little form since the start of last season and if we could find an adequate replacement, I think £2.5 would be fantastic money.

Mapperleyfox Posted 2 September 2013 Share Posted 2 September 2013 Hi, not a regular poster. Was with a Forest journalist last night who said they are interested in Nugent (that's who Billy Krankie was wacthing the other week) but they are also trying to get Fryatt on loan from Hull. He enquired with some LCFC counterparts who texted him back saying they would be 'very surprised' if Nugent was on his way. Watch this space i guess...
