£750k for Kanu doesn’t sound great when we paid almost double for Tanto.29

I'd be looking for £5m for Kanu 😆8

I think we can get more for Kanu.7

But then what will 750k get us? Literally nothing in the champ.shine166 said:Personally I think 750k for Kanu is good business, especially if there's a % from down the line added. You could give him a new contract, loan him to a league 1 team and it not work out. If thats a genuine offer id take the money amd put it towards this season's fund.4 -

If we can shift Kanu and Mitchell for close to 1.5m that’ll do one transfer surely.Danny Addick said:

Its 15k for a year towards someone's wages, or towards another signing. Most of our players will leave on a free or be loaned out until the contracts expire, its better in our pockets now than gambling that he does well on loan and is then ready for mid table championship in 12 months.Danny Addick said:

If he goes to Luton and does well, you'd hope we'd get a few more 100k in a year or 2 if they sell him on.2 -
So we would be in the same situation we are now except 750k richer.Danny Addick said:

If I were making the decisions I’d want to have a very hard look at Kanu pre season. Good strikers are expensive and as common as rocking horse shit. £750k doesn’t look particularly good to me. If NJ feels he’s not ready then loan him out again but I’d have to be very sure that he’s not up to it before I sold him at this stage.22

Cannot do this. His deal runs out next season. It's either first team football this year or sell him I thinkShootersHillGuru said:If I were making the decisions I’d want to have a very hard look at Kanu pre season.

Personally I would like to see the deadwood dealt with before we sell one of our own (cheaply) who is a very decent young prospect.
Sort out Ahadme, Tanto, Apter and Burke first.
I don't want to see Daniel go unless the deal is irrisistable.21 -
Think thats the crux of it. Though why somebody decided to LOL this just because Ronnie said it is ludicrous. About the most reasonable post he could make on the subject and he still gets lol'd.RonnieMoore said:
Think they will wait to see how he comes back from the nasty injury he got ..IR94 said:are brighton still interested in mbick?3 -
Kanu is a weird one , clearly knows where the back of the net is but with Kelman and potentially Godden ahead of him I don't really know where the path to first team football is for him. £750k with a year to run I'm not overly convinced by as a price but I understand that that's a good wedge for a L1 side to splash on a striker that's not proven at that level.
Think Mbick will be here until January at least, gives him time to get over his injury and see where he's at recovery wise.2 -
Can’t see Kanu being able to come in and do a job at Championship level this season. I think he’s okay and has always applied himself when he got a chance, and I was pleased to see him have a successful season at Walsall. However, we’re looking to kick on and score more goals this year. I think we need proven quality and with his contract expiring next summer, I don’t see him as a viable option
further to him, Alex Mitchell and Ahadme would definitely be ones to move on. After that, I think it’s going to be personal preference for a lot of people, but my choices would be
Oloafe
Apter
Coventry
I just don’t see Tanto or Apter working out, and although Coventry may be deemed more controversial, I just don’t think he’s at this level, and we need to move players on to bring in what we need.JRC could potentially be someone else you may consider, but I think given the length of his deal he will be in and around the squad next season.Dixon is someone I don’t see the point in pursuing either, but he’ll probably get another loan along with a few other youngsters2 -
Kanu .. get him in for a pre season, if the management are impressed, put him in the squad, if quite impressed but still unsure, loan him out .. if he doesn't want that, then sell him.
He scored a lot last season, albeit in a lower league .. given the terrible collective record of our strikers last season, surely he is worth a a thorough, unbiased assessment5 -
If he can play in the first team, great offer him a decent champ contract. If he can't going to have to sell him but with a buy back clause if he does well in League 1.1

He has one year left on his contract. Loaning him out again doesn’t work unless he signs a new contract, and he’d want a Championship pay bump as part of that. Not as simple as we would all like.Lincsaddick said:Kanu .. get him in for a pre season, if the management are impressed, put him in the squad, if quite impressed but still unsure, loan him out .. if he doesn't want that, then sell him.

I don't think the league 2 goals mean much. Apter, Tanto, Leaburn, TC etc would all be too good for league 2 football. Even Ahadme might score a few goals! The championship is a huge jump from there
I don’t think Kanu is ready yet but I think he still has the potential to be. Unfortunately his contract situation might mean he fulfils that elsewhere rather than with us2 -
According to Wikipedia parachute payments are over 3 seasons, diminishing per season, although that depends entirely on the Wikipedia information being correct!MartinCAFC said:Southampton are also now going to be in there 2nd and final year of parachute payments and also starting with a points deduction. Maybe they're being a bit more cautious about spending high and perhaps looking to cut there cloth a bit and with players contracts expiring it might be easier to just let go some previous high earners like Bree who would have joined on a Premier League contract.0 -
I think it’s only two seasons if a team gets relegated in their first season in the Prem. You’ve got to be there for two seasons to get three years of parachute paymentsBod said:

All the awards Kanu won last year and all his goals, in his first full season of proper regular football, surely we’d get at least 7 figures and a sell on for him if he’s not to stick around. You can bet other clubs would get that at the minimum.22
-
Yeah 750k is very low for a league two young player of the season who probably still has a future at his parent club, even if he does just have 12 months left on his contract.7

Kanu is 21, works incredibly hard on the pitch, but more importantly, incredibly hard off it to maximize his potential. He has scored goals every level he has played at consistently.
He just scored 15 goals in 38 league two starts for a team that finished in the bottom half. None were penalties. He did a clean sweep of Wallsall's awards and won L2 young player of the season iirc.
We should hold onto him, give him another year or two on his contract at decent L1 level wages and tell him we are loaning him to a top L1 club next season until January so he can prove he is worthy of coming back to our championship squad.
If we resign Godden I would expect it to be for 1 year.
£750K wouldn't even have got you Ahadme 2 years ago.
I want us to be ruthless with flops like Apter, Burke, Tanto, Kaminski and with some of the mediocre like Coventry and Dykes. Not with young players with potential and who are hungry and angry.41 -
He is old enough for the Champ if he is good enough. I think he can do the TC role better than Tyreece. We can try him for a month in the 1st team before we need to make a decision, potentially bumping up the price.1

The FA verdict still hasn’t come in. I suspect he will get quite a large ban and will then be sacked or moved to another one of the clubs they own if they really want to stick by himeastterrace6168 said:Southampton's owner on Radio Solent this morning saying he has no intention of sacking as he called him " a great manager" who made a "mistake", talk about deluded, he should be sacked now, and given a ban on managing in England again...
Might explain why Southampton do not sack him, a ban possibly would save the pay off.

Is there any footballer alive for whom money isn't a priority?sillav nitram said:If we are genuinely interested in signing Bree, then the fact he has already played for us and knows the set up, might weigh heavily in our favour, particularly if money isn’t a priority for him.
And Mr Taylor still gets pelters!
