IMO the three teams that came down will not all go back up. Possibly 2, again IMO Leeds and one other, it would be a huge gamble for a player who wants to play in the top league somewhere. | | | |

We have history of buying low selling high so I'm not sure why we can't again | |

I know we didn't sell him but how much was Michu £2M? We have done it many times. | | | |

Can spend big and waste money Clucas Sanchez Bony 2nd time round just a few examples.
There are bargains out there Rangel,Manning, Michu Leon long time ago some I know but you don't have to spend massively to find talent at our level.
And that goes for all positions.

And hopefully Watson will get these sort of players that duff wants.
I think the owners will leave these two alone for a bit, well I hope so anyway. [Post edited 28 Jun 2023 21:44]

Negotiate. Ask for 15m
Would love to get 10m plus future fees (promotion and sell on clauses)
Reality... Probably looking at 8m plus future fees.
Hopefully there's more interest than what we're aware of so can hold off until we find the highest bidder but he's an untested player at the highest level (PL or international) so clubs will be weighing up the risk elements if he is unable to adapt.
Maybe not much so for Leicester as he's already a proven goal scored in the Championship. | | | |

Leicester have just sold maddison to spurs for 40 million.
Ask for 20 million, we should get 15. | | | |

Not the same.
It’s selling him to a rival as well.
If we do, it will be harder for us to get promotion, and easier for them. Fact.
Got to put the price up just for that. | |

Will prospective PL buyers look at the last couple of "quality" strikers at this level with us who ultimately flopped when it came to the step up???? 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™‚ï¸. STID | | | |

we do not know but with the new manager and looking like the new investment, wonder if that may get Piro to sign a BETTER contract or not? but for me selling to a rival is not the way to go, its going to be much harder this coming season to get to the play offs with the clubs coming down why make it harder? | | | |

Regardless of how much we get for him, I think him leaving would be a HUGE loss to the team.
He scored 20 goals in a team that rarely got the ball forward.
Imagine what he can do in a pacier team with better service.
His finishing is incredible.
We will do very well to get as good a striker than him.
Think we are really lucky to have him. | | | |

Huge loss agreed but if he won't sign a new contract we have to be realistic and sell. | | | |

I admire the optimism/hutzpah/cheek etc. But yes, go high and see where we end up. I'll be surprised if we get more than 8 plus add ons.
I also agree that in the past we have found bargains, Rangel, leon....Piroe and we could do it again but it's not guaranteed. No harm in being optimistic though. | | | |

I read somewhere interest from Italy. Remember this guy was one to watch when he was in Netherlands u17 squad. He was linked to Juventus at 17 I recall reading.
They will have noticed he is back on his mojo and has excellent pedigree.
He struggled on loan in the Netherlands mainly because he was restricted to sub cameos. The new Leicester coach will not have him running around like a headless chicken and battling for second balls like a demon.
Piroe presses in a clever way. This way is subtle and about angles and cutting off out balls. It also does not waste energy.
Coventry want Whitaker to replace Goykeres. They do well with Swansea rejects. Interesting to see if Duff praises Whittaker and talks of re integration and be "in his plans". Marsh might have explained he has a £3m tag and needs to be moved on.
An early test of the synergy and "all of us need to be on the same page" ethos being promoted. [Post edited 29 Jun 2023 16:24]

You know there is a big difference between running around like a headless chicken and an effective press.
We didn't employ the headless chicken approach last season and I don't think Duff does either. A high tempo approach doesn't have to mean headless chickens and in fact as Barcelona used to show, a clever high tempo press is very effective. Barcelona used to aim to get the ball back within 5 passes. Press a player quickly enough and pressure him into the mistake is the ethos. | | | |

Forest have got a squad to rival Chelsea's already 
Everton should be his choice to play and be coached under Dyche, although Dyche will probably want him for two bob. | |
