No. Too expensive. Glen Murray would score as many for Man City when they're blitzing the box.

Ha, that's a joke right?

The deal massively favours city. He's s*** we lose big money on him. If he's great then we can only sell him for 30m after developing for say 2 years. Also doesn't fit the starting 11, much prefer investing in a quality number 10 like Ziyech for example.

I'm not denying he a talent but with FDB favouring 433. Is he realistically gonna get in ahead of Benteke. I doubt it. We will buy a striker but I doubt we pay 20-25m for one. We're not Chelsea that can have 4 strikers at 20m each. I'd say max we pay for a 2nd/3rd choice striker is 15m.

Yeah I should probably agree with that. Makes perfect sense.

I just think he's a cracking talent and have always rated him. £25m is a lot of $$$$ but he's so young and would compliment our attack as he's different to Wickham and Benteke. It's a lot but when considering some of the money thrown around I think it's good value.

I must say I don't like the sound of £30m buy back clause and would rather this was a 50% stake in a future sell on figure, over what we pay. But I'm sure if we did sign him then Parish would agree a decent clause that doesn't mean we get completely shafted.

Is he to much? I doubt Benteke is going to be fit for the whole season and is Wickham good enough to fill in? Assuming Wickhams fit..?

We need a second striker as to me Wickham can only be considered a third choice considering his fitness issues.

£25m for a proven talented striker who will be ok at siting on the bench as he's still young.

Age means his value should only rise unless he's bang average and I simply don't think that's the case.

Although some have said he is, I'm still waiting to see all these misses.

Link above compares Rashford and Iheanacho.

Anyway he's a huge talent IMO. Can we afford him? Probably not. Is the buy back clause bad. Yes. will we sign him? I doubt it.

Yes it's a tricky one and really if we do go for him it's only becuase FdB can bag the other players he wants at decent prices and within budget.

RB, CB, AM all need to be strengthened first.

But you know sometimes when a player pops up on the market, you wasn't interested in that position but it actually makes sense to get him in the bigger picture. I think Iheanacho falls in to this category.

(If the deal makes sense)
