Guest firetotheworks Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Really surprised that we're not in for him mind, particularly at that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 He's a former Nigerian U17 star, which means he could legitimately be significantly older than 20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 He's a former Nigerian U17 star, which means he could legitimately be significantly older than 20. Yeah but at least he doesn't look 48 or something like some "youngsters" from there do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Nigeria have won 5 U17 World Cups and been runner up 3 times. Way more than any other country. That success never translates to U20 or full team, and the significant majority of the winning players disappear into thin air. If they aren't fiddling the ages I'd be amazed.

mighty__mag Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thought we might have made some kind of approach for Iheanacho, obviously not a Rafa player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Doesn't feel like a chance we'll be paying £20m+ for anyone. Well we will be going straight back down then. I reckon we need to spend that on Striker and maybe attacking midfielder. The bar has been set by other smaller clubs this year and other teams will just raise prices now. It's mental really, but we have to compete unless we have a grand plan for sourcing from abroad. Mind we have the right manager to get the most of players we bring in. I don't think we have to spend massive on every player, but in a few key positions we really do. I can't believe we aren't trying to compete for Ineacho, Giroud or Batshuayi - or maybe we are and they don't want to sign Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I don't particularly agree with the notion of spending a third of our supposed budget on someone who might not actually be that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 We should definitely be in for Iheanacho, even at that price. Yep. Like him and he's still only 20. Perhaps we're getting Vardy instead... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Really p*ssed off about the Iheanacho deal. Class signing for Leicester, really starting to wonder who we're after. Anyone who'll cost less than 10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
number9shirt Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Really p*ssed off about the Iheanacho deal. Class signing for Leicester, really starting to wonder who we're after. Same here. What is going on at our club? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Admittedly based on nothing much but it feels like the biggest signings we'll make will be release clauses because the market has moved on substantially from what we apparently believe offers 'value'. When the likes of Bournemouth are quoted £20m for Ake and are willing to actually pay it, if we're not prepared to compete at that level on fees we'll simply not get who we really want. Selling clubs aren't daft, they know we have these stupid amounts of money available. Our second biggest transfer was over 20 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Iheanacho for that price is "value" ffs, it's pretty cheap for a young player who has scored goals and will only continue to improve. We're mugs for not being interested, but at least we'll save £17m and get some shite second rate French prick to become Riviere II eh.
