Fox 4 Life Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 No way should we sell him. I still think our best chance at staying up this year is a vardy okazaki partnership! He has been out of favour but his work rate is phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 If they come in with a big bid similar to Schlupp, I think we should consider it for a 30 year old. He may feel like he wants to move as his game time has gone down a lot and Ranieri may feel like we need someone who can create chances because we can't do anything other than hoof out of play without Mahrez or a target man up front. Would miss him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 We haven't got enough quality up front to let him go. He's a limited player but he suits our system (when we bother to employ it) better than any of our other strikers bar Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 We lack options already. Can't sell yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 No. He's the most important player we have. Half the reason I think we are doing so badly is that he isn't starting many games. Besides, just because Shalke are interested doesn't mean its going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 I'll be the first to go against the grain then, SELL. There's a lot to be said for selling players who are of a certain age and not automatic first team players especially if the player isn't up for sale which usually means a good offer from the buying club. We might be playing 4-3-3 /4-5-1 a lot more and Okazaki doesn't fit into that system. Maybe we bring in Cafu who can play No 10 and wide if need be. Okazaki is 30 and mid table table Prem level at best so I'm all for selling and rolling the dice again with another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narboroughblue Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 Really like Shinji but for the right money I'd let him go. I can't see him playing ahead of Vardy or Slimani and with the changes to formation recently I don't think it suits his game. If we got around 10 million I'd let him go if not then he's a good squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickov22 Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 He's limited in ability. Sometimes he can link the play well but too often he loses the ball, can't hold it up and is no threat to the opposition goal whatsoever. If we get a replacement then sell- don't forget he's 30 too.

This is what I am thinking. He was perfect last season but we need a new way of creating goals and Shinji has only created 24 chances since he's been here, and hasn't even had an assist. Though I am open to seeing him have a go with Slimani, Mahrez and Musa again, which beat Palace 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy boxing Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 we shouldn't let him go. yes he doesn't score enough goals but he is full of running and links the midfield and attack..only let him go if we can get an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lako42 Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 We still can't play without him, there is no link between midfield and attack, just a massive gaping hole of nothingness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 17 January 2017 Share Posted 17 January 2017 We should have replaced him in the summer but we didn't. I get stick for it all the time here but facts are facts. He doesn't score, he doesn't assist and his ball retention is woeful. 5 goals and 0 assist as a number 10 in a title winning side is terrible. If a substantial offer like the Schlupp one came in I'd sell. If not I'd keep him until we address the glaring problems in the squad. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
