TOPIC: Has KC

Be told to sell Jabo if an offer comes in, the article in today's N&S; makes it sound like he's put a price on his head and inviting bids. Would do better to tie him down to a longer contact, been a long long time since we have had a decent goalscorer he's worth more than gold to us right now.

Think you're way of the mark on this one

Every player has his price.

That is how I would interpret the article, looking for a quick buck while he's on fire...

I really think there was no need to tempt fate and he did mention a price, best to say our top scorer won't be leaving any time soon imo.

I don't think clubs will be in a hurry to pay a fee for a 32ye old striker after one good month of goals when they could have got him for zero in the summer.

Jabo has been knocking about in the lower leagues for years now. If someone was going to part with a couple of hundred grand it would have happened a long time ago!

Yes he has been superb so far this season, however he is a league two striker for a reason!

i dont think you can transfer twice in one window..

Watched the interview with KC after the Hartlepool game where this is mentioned on United Player and KC is very much tongue in cheek with his comments imo and is not expecting bids before the deadline. Just my interpretation but you know like he goes on to say clubs are looking for goalscorers and Jabo is certainly that at the moment

He kept referring to a league one club who aren't scoring - Blackpool at a guess.

Where else would Jabo play with four strikers up front in division four?

Kc's words


“If I’m a manager in a division above and lacking goals in my team, where can I get an experienced centre-forward who’s mobile, strong, can score goals, and is a physical, principle front-line leader?

“He’s one of those. Would I be surprised if someone came in and said ‘I’d give you 200 grand for Jabo Ibehre?’

“Everybody wants a centre-forward and he’s got nine goals. My phone’s going to be off. But there’ll be some clubs in the Championship and League One who want a presence, a focal point and goals.

“We’ve got it – and we appreciate the work he does. As a professional he’s earning the right to score the goals. And the big man’s got a smile on his face.”

He's only 8 goals off scoring 100 according to Wiki.

He also said his phone would be off!! Come on Keith give us a break - we don`t need to sell him.

It's taken us about 5 seasons to find a decent goalscorer, if we gave him away so easily it would be a travesty.

We gave Paddy Madden away for nowt less than 3 years ago

Fair enough, it wasn't us he was scoring goals for, but still...

We have form at selling our prized assets at knockdown prices. Nothing would surprise me.

Actually I don't think even JN/AJ are that stupid....one I think it's possible that KC would walk if they did and two it kind of disturbs the narrative about the billionaire doesn't it........
