According to John Percy we are about to bid £25M. He has looked class whenever he has been given a chance at Man City but Pep doesnt fancy him with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus ahead of him

He wants to sell Iheanacho to raise funds to buy Alexis Sanchez

I think he would be a great signing for us. Would surely mean the end of Ahmed Musa. But proper cover and competition for Jamie Vardy

Having Ndidi and Musa could be key as they're international team mates. Iheanacho and Ndidi are the bright future of Nigerian football so might fancy linking up st club level.

Would love this to happen
 
Great signing if it happens. I'm glad he's woken up to the fact his future isn't at Man City.

Looked very good when they've needed someone to step up.

Too many good African footballers around at the moment! Like us when we sign Salah - every 2 years we'll lose some of our best players for AFCON. Can be an issue if teams rely heavily on African players.

We were ****e without Mane.

I think we are trying to be able to enter our own team in the next AFCON

Slimani
Mahrez
Ndidi
Amartey
Musa

Add Iheanacho and a number of African defenders we've been linked with!!

Edit - we've also been linked with another Algerian, Boudabouz

Apparently the buyback clause is £30m. We might as well get him on loan if that is the case as if he does turn out to be any good, Man City will take him back to sell on for even more.

Wow thats awful, if they want him back for £30m, then surely we shouldn't offer more than £15m.

Its a lose lose for us in this sitaution. If hes **** we will make a loss selling, if hes good, hes off back to Man City. A loan certainly would be better if thats the case.

Talk today of them overpricing Hart too.

Apparently West Ham had a £24M bid accepted but pulled out of the deal because of the buy back fee.

Mercury is reporting that the buyback is £10m - i.e. £35M. This is a loan move at that price http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/l...say-man-city/story-30406702-detail/story.html

Certainly not a loan move :-
1) These days, loan moves arent free - you have to pay the loaning club a large sum of money for a years loan for a good player
2) The borrowing club generally have to pay all of the players wages plus additional clauses to the lending club based on appearances - or even lack of them.
3) The player can say no to a buy back offer and either stay with us or move to a different club who would have to pay market rate.

Man U have been doing this for years but have NEVER enforced the buy back option.

If Man C did enforce it - say after 2 years, we would have had him for virtually free over that period with the £10m covering wages. Only loss would be agent and signing on fee which could be offset by the prize money from Sky/Prem for success the player would contribute to.

Sign him !!

I say we should look elsewhere - if we build our team around him, we don't want the possibility of him leaving on the last day of the transfer window hanging over our heads.

Although i think the current demands are stupid, i don't think we should give up on him.
Maybe bash out some better terms, cause i don't see anyone taking a risk on him until they lax that buyback figure.
 
Man City have always said that he can leave if they get a replacement in first. As yet - they havent yet. Expect nothing to happen til they do.
