Slimani's cat doesn't look impressed with the Swansea offer.

As I said to Bluearmyfox28 over in the 'Ulloa to Swansea' thread, I would guess that Swansea were looking at Slimani - and put the £20m bid in for him - which got rejected.  So they went for an alternative target - Borja Baston - offered £15m, which was accepted - and he has now joined.  They have also signed another centre forward, Fernando Llorente, last week. I doubt if they'll be pursuing Slimani any more ?

If true, Slimani's options are looking really slim. Will be interesting to see how desperate he is for a move to the premier league. I can't see any other premiership clubs getting him, will he hang on & wait? I doubt it.

 

I think we will see him move to another foreign league. If he does stay on I could see us making a move for him in January, as I can see Ulloa becoming very unhappy this year.

Which ones are alive?

I think you already know but Gabriel Barbosa , that is alive

 

More reports about Mahrez wanting to leave, but again its not him, it a stupid French based reporter

 

[Aleksz]

As much as I'm desperate for this to happen, all the talk of him to us seems pointless until we even have a vague link actually towards us 

[AyewJoking]

swansea make a paltry bid which is obviously rejected but gives leicester a kick up the arse.

 

we panic and offer £30 million. sign slimani and ulloa goes to guess who................

[Guest]

We'd better sign him soon, before Mahrez leaves. 

[sm1]

I personally think we're not interested. If Lukaku goes to Chelsea, i reckon they'll go for him. Maybe even Southampton

[HoustonFox]

As we've been linked to this guy I went back through a couple of the historical threads from 2014. Couple of classic posts such as "he's not worth 350k and a packet of Walkers" and "classic misdirection to put pressure on them at the Amex" (with regards to forcing Brighton's hand on Ulloa).  Be funny if that we sold Leo to get him in if that was the case (or if he was our primary from the start).

 

[st albans fox]

Apparently west brom also offered 20m euros

 

although sporting want 30 they would prob accept 25

Just buy him. Can't hurt to have another striker around and it would give Mahrez a boost. Where's the downside?

[Babylon]

Best Striker ever... Bids from Swansea and West Brom... Hmmmm.

It all seems so simple doesn't it. Just buy him ffs

[RowlattsFox]

Slimani must've had nearly 20 bids rejected for him over the last couple of seasons. No one wants to pay for him it seems.

Basically, yeah  

 

the he fun and games of the transfer merry go round. Tuesday was a prime example, Pogba and Stones deals finally go through and all of a sudden there could be about 9/10 players on the move because of it.

Why is this thread even open anymore?

Why ??  Simple  - The absence of puns and no mentions of bodily investigations and large retail shops selling groceries where footballers are, apparently, often sighted prior to signing for us.

Letting Walsh leave before the window is closed is going to bite us in the arse more than once

No, there's no way Slimani is worth these figures. 

 

He's had one consistent season. The last player to do that from the Portguese League and join a Premier League club was Ricky Van Wolfswinkel. 

 

Sporting are notoriously hard work to sign a player from, so expect a huge fee if he's to leave

I'm actually glad we didn't up with Williams and Bolasie if he signed.

 

And not massively impressed by Slimani.
