jaberry2 556 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) This was probably decided a while ago but have just gone public. Looks unhappy currently so wish him well with his next move and been a fantastic servant for the club. Edited April 5, 2023 by jaberry2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambridgeshire canary 6,806 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Cant replace him won't replace him. Will be missed more than anyone else. Very interesting to see where he goes. Edited April 5, 2023 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted April 5, 2023 Nothing lasts forever and we will got over it. I don't think he has been enjoying it since DF was sacked. Will always be remembered thats for sure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soldier on 168 Posted April 5, 2023 Arguably the start of a massive summer for the club . 50k per week off the wage bill but song with Emi one of the most important players in our recent history . deserves a massive send off 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samwam27 532 Posted April 5, 2023 Absolute legend and wish him well wherever he goes However, I'd now try Sarg up front on his own as he will be our main striker next season unless we bring in someone else and use these games to experiment ahead of next season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you leave him out? Offers more than the rest put together. Only player we have who seems to have football brain......and if anybody comes on here says time for Idah to step up,they need to give their head a serious wobble. Not fit to lace Pukki's boots.

Robert N. LiM 4,500 Posted April 5, 2023 One of the club's greatest-ever players. Put him at the top of our 92-93 team and we would have won the league. I'm gutted but it is probably the right time. Hopefully this means he'll get the send-off he deserves in the last few games, rather than people complaining he's not the player he was. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top corner 229 Posted April 5, 2023 A sad but expected decision, I'm also not confident that Sargent will be here next season, will he want another (expected) championship season. I can see us selling him, freeing up some wages & then spending the money on a new striker, then using the leftover money to improve the starting 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yellowrider120 788 Posted April 5, 2023 Whilst he has been a great servant for us amd true professional, at least we can finally move on into a post Pukki world (for better or worse). If he had signed rhe extension all we would have done is keep kicking the can down the road and forking out £50k pw allegedly which is unaffordable in our current financial situation where we have already borrowed (and spent) against guaranteed future income. That said, this news is symptomatic of our decline. Simple league position can mask reality. Just look at THFC for proof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inch High aka Inchy.. 412 Posted April 5, 2023 Everything has to end eventually. He's been an incredible player for us but if he feels it's time to go then I wish him all the luck in the world. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top corner 229 Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Haus said: Nah, noones buying him for what we paid I agree that we probably won't get what we paid for him, but I can imagine us selling him simply because he is quite a big financial asset, which could be used to improve the starting 11. Add in the money from selling Max, possibly Sara, maybe 1 or 2 more, plus whatever else we have to spend, I think could massively improve the starting 11. Whatever happens, it's going to be a busy summer for player recruitment. I also forgot to mention the 15% of any profit we get from Maddison being sold this summer, he'll be in big demand & will definitely be sold, seeing as Leicester are in the financial brown stuff.

ricardo 7,401 Posted April 5, 2023 Inevitable. One more big payday before hanging up his boots and who can blame him. One of the best free transfers we will ever have. Many thanks Teemu, you leave us with great memories. 11 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
