But they are comfortable sitting in midtable above the West Ham team you want them to emulate, how does that make sense??

West Ham is above Leicester City on the table. It seems you have not been following the league lately.

Below is the current EPL table and also look at the gap between Leicester City and West Ham on the form table which follows.

Also keep in mind that West Ham is still adapting to the philosophy which resulted in four straight losses in the beginning of the season. If not, West Ham would be higher on the EPL table.

I am trying to explain to you that that isn't how it works. Who exactly is willing to take him on loan? That is what you have to ask, you know transcountry loan deals are usually very difficult to pull off so most likely he will stay put in England, which attacking team in England wants him? Or which of them needs a backup striker first? If he forces a move at this point in time he will be going to the championship

I did not say it was going to be a walk in the pack. That is why I said his agents need to earn their money by getting to work. Start making calls and negotiating the best possible loan deal. Nacho must be in a very offensive team. Also he should be in a team where he gets a run of games.

If he goes to a championship side that plays offensively and he gets his chance to score goals, his stock will rise. Than having a long drought in the EPL.

I have always respected you as you do support your point with facts and do not result to insults when trying to pass your points accross.

I do remember when you said Nacho should stay behind in Man city and people kept on bashing you. We all advocated for him to move to another club that game time is needed. The problem now is that he has had enough game time but he is still not improving.

We are now advocating for him to find another club again, hope we will not end up in the same situation again.

As long as the move is calculated to a side that suits Nacho's play, then the move will be a positive one. If it is just a move to another side that it is not offensive enough, then there will be no reason for the move.

It is up to his agents to put their heads down, study the stats of the teams who are in need of strikers, study their historical style of play and current play. Before making the move.

For instance, there is room at West Ham. I believe with all my heart, Nacho can give Chicarito a run for his money.

Although with the City buy-back clause, it will be hard negotiating a palatable offer but it can be done. A move to West Ham (keep in mind Pellegrini has an affinity for Nacho). He plays a direct attacking system that suits Nacho. The chances will come and Nacho can take it.

But the negotiation is key. The ball is now in the court of Nacho's agents and managers.

Precisely. Pairing with Arnautovic and Filipe Anderson behind him will be thrilling but Chicarito is also finding his fire under Pellegrini.

The team will certainly excel and win titles but stellar performances is very limited at Atletico Madrid. See how Carrasco washed up there. A far cry from the genius at Monaco.

Atletico Madrid is too negative for Chukwueze.

That is what matters. Griezman won individual laurels from the same Athletico Madrid.


Make the boy go Athletico Madrid. He is not Iheanacho. grin

In 938 minutes Vardy has scored 5goals and had one assist. That should be a goal involvement every 150 minutes. In 811 minutes Kelechi has just ONE goal and a couple of assists. Like I always say be objective when you argue, Vardy has had injury issues and even got red carded yet he still has a nice ratio, for effect Aubumeyang's ratio is 1 goal every 140minutes. And somehow you want the coach to build the team around a player with one goal in the EPL? Let me also remind you that Madison who isn't a strikerhas scored 5 goals as well in the same system.

I won't go as far as thegoodjoe but I still believe that bad service is the root of this drought. My problem is that Nacho used to shout at world class players at man city but he barely says a word to these bums. He is too respectful, he needs to go back to the basics and play like he did when he first got to England. Mahrez is also a big miss for Iheanacho.

Yes I agree with you and I prefer he stays at Villarreal

Even if those news are speculations it's a good thing

If he's going to move, I hope it won't be to Atletico..Simeone is a great manager no doubt but his defensive style of play will limit Chuks's performance in attack...
And I hope he doesn't move to the EPL either.. At least not to a mid table team...

The point is Nacho made a wrong move. I knew this was going to happen before he moved. I am just explaining what I was arguing against. Now is the time for Nacho's agents to earn the money he made them and work on a move for him to a more offensive side that creates chances at will.

Adapting to Leicester City style of play will only slow him down.

In football your past exploits determine you future suitors most of the time.

You can give a thousand excuses, KC was simply not good enough for Man city.He was limited.

But that's past history now, as it stands it's very difficult to define what type of player he is. Striker, AM, SS, etc.

Leicester City have little money and have tried to modify and adapt thier expensive acquisition. But it's not working very well.

His goal return over the last two seasons is ABYSMAL who do you think will want to buy him now.

His best bet is to run out his contract because nobody will pay him big money for him on his current form. O don't think one EPL club would take him on now. He will probably get a championship club at best. Going abroad may be another option but on far less money than he's getting now.

You know how this agent thing works right? You don't just go to Wolves and tell them that you have a player you want to sell to them and they will just come and buy. As at now hardly anybody wants him for 10M never mind the 25M Leicester may want to get back, he needs to make himself relevant again by churning out top performances and he isn't going to so that if he keeps on telling himself that the Leicester system is his problem

An honest leicester city fan will feel pity for the strikers not just nacho, I've watched leicester city game numerous times and I tell people that it's easier for their midfielders to score than the strikers, outside the pk which nacho won some, vardy has not score upto 3 goals.

Seems you did not read a thing I commented on.

There are people in the football circle who know the reality on ground. Nacho is not in a worst state than Diego Forlan at Manchester United. Yet, with the right moves and management he became one of the top hitmen in the history of football.

Giuseppe Rossi looked lost at Manchester United but with an ideal move, a dynamite was delivered at Villarreal.

Thierry Henry flopped at Juventus but under the tutelage of Arsene Wenger and playing in the right system, he became one of the deadliest forwards in the history of the game.

That is the true reality on ground. With the right negotiations, moves and tutelage, Nacho can still become the dynamite he was meant to be.
