Player Suggestion Kelechi Iheanacho

[Jon P]

23yo striker not getting a look in at Leicester, obviously be a loan (he cost Leicester £25m). Not sure on his style of play, thinking more Mousset style than Didzy?

 

[JohnDenver]

Despite looking like a prospect at Man City, Leicester fans say he’s awful for a player of that price.

They sing “if Kelechi scores, we’re on the pitch”.

 

[Carlton Blade]

He'll end up in Turkey, do bugger all, have a couple of seasons at Reading and just slowly disappear from view

 

[Bladesman]

No.

For as long as Warnock keeps getting jobs ... he’ll always have a home in the game.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

The thing with clubs like City is that due to their dominance and the quality of player they have, they could throw Conor Sammon up top and he'd get at least 10 a season.

Someone doing this at 19 is automatically catapulted up to 25m levels irrespective of if they're any good or not.

 

[Jon P]

Goal and assist yesterday.

 

[Swannyblade]

Get him in, play him in the Didzy role...job's a good 'un.

Hillsborough bound then eventually

Think he would be a great shout to be fair and the type of player we are looking for.

 

[Barney]

Isn't he that fella who sings on Arsenal Fan TV.

 

[Jon P]

Looks like he's on the move either way, abroad mentioned in a few articles

Minimum of £60k a week in wages. No chance.

We are a premier league team and need to add better quality strikers we are not going to get better quality than we have for peanuts.

 

[brownblade]

Iheanacho is a top player. I'd be shocked if Leicester even considered selling him.

He's good enough that we probably would break open the wage structure for him. But the fee would be huge, plus bigger/richer teams would bid.

You keep saying that. The problem is you’re not going to be the catalyst to us paying £60k a week for a striker so I’d look at realistic targets instead of pie in the sky ones.

How is it pie in the sky? we are looking to add better quality than we already have, and 60k per week isn't an earth shattering amount for a player of Inheanachos quality he could easily get us 10+ goals.

It’s pie in the sky because it is highly unlikely to happen. He’s played for Leicester and Man City in recent years. I keep seeing loads of aspirational names on here. Some people just need to get a bit more realistic about who we can attract.

 

[Kanye]

Can't see them selling. He looked good for them last year.

Would be a phenomenal signing if we could afford to pay his wages, something I doubt.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

In the Josh King not going to happen category. We are mere paupers.

Why couldn't we attract Inheanacho? We have one of the best managers in the league and one of the best team spirits.


Wilder is an ambitious manager too and already stated he wants to add better quality to the squad, I dont see no reason why he couldn't pull it off.

Inheanacho

23. Played 20 games for Leicester last season. Reportedly on £60k per week. A little bit out of our league, albeit literally in the same league.

Does anyone really know who our top earner is and how much their on , my bet is Sander and I guessing on 45grand a week , but it’s all total guess work

 

[steve26272]

To be fair I agree that if we are to improve on our strikers, and we all accept we do, £25m and £60k per week isn’t outrageous

What is outrageous is paying that for a bloke who has managed 9 goals in 71 appearances for a team that is top 3rd prem and therefore you would expect to create more chances
That’s a goals to game ratio of 1:8
Last season
McB- 1:6
Billy - 1:8
Mousse- 1:5

Bear in mind many of Billy’s games he came on late

Also worth noting Deeney, who many have scoffed at in this section managed 1:2.7 - would cost maybe a fifth in transfer fee and last season was on £65k a week, which with a pay cut probably kicking in following relegation would possibly be cheaper wages wise too.

Too similar to Mousse for me, temperamental and can go missing when it’s not going his way

 

[From the pig end]

I might be nit-picking slightly but...
Doesn't score much does he?

What happens to the team spirit when new boy comes in on 3x wages?

 

[bonnet de douche]

Wages...no go

I am sure that could be said at every club, it is a risk you take when trying to improve your team.

We don’t pay enough wages and no matter how much people whinge about it, we aren’t going to change that.
