Good point.  Leo who is currently a solid squad player for the reigning Premier League Champions, who are about to embark on a Champions League adventure, might be really pissed about not starting every week and want to jump ship and go and play regularly for a reasonable Championship team ....    like Derby ....  

 

Either way we need a bit of strength in depth at the moment and we have no idea whatsoever how new players will fit in ...   so tbh I wouldn't worry what they thought ...    I'd just tell them you are under contract get on with it. 

I want Ulloa to stay because he's proven to us he's good enough (I think so) in the two years of Premier League football. He will score goals, he now has experience of the league, his hold up play is good which brings others into the game, has an instinct in the box, good finisher & his attacking and defensive work is top notch. I think Leo has asset's which have shown to be very valuable to us, I'd like him to stay & hope he's happy to. Like you said we need strength in depth and Slimani would add to that.

How many windows have we courted this guy, 3? 4? Why did we have to haggle the absolute best bid down the lowest pound possible, now we're over a barrel. It's just not very sporting of Lisbon.

I would be over the moon if we got both N'Zonzi & Slimani. Imagine if we got Barbosa too!

He's gone to Milan.

Milan would refer to AC Milan

http://www.francefootball.fr/news/Leicester-a-fait-une-offre-pour-l-attaquant-algerien-islam-slimani-sporting-portugal/721031

 

Leicester made a bid for Algerian striker Islam Slimani (Sporting Portugal)
Claudio Ranieri, the recruitment of Islam Slimani is a priority. Sporting the side of the door is (for now) closed for the fearsome striker Fennecs despite an offer of 25 million euros made by the Foxes.

Brand new, fresh with very high level, Islam Slimani could continue his ascent in the Premier League. Author of a remarkable last season, the Algerian has entered the closed elite of the most effective strikers in the world. In 2015/16, the Fennec recorded a personal record by scoring 27 times in the league. Stats that have terrified of Premier League clubs. Recently West Bromwich and Swansea have made offers of around 20 million euros, and more. But according to our information, the most serious track-side Leicester where the Champion of England submitted a proposal situated around 25 million euros. Claudio Ranieri wants to join Algerian international Jamie Vardy but also and especially to Riyad Mahrez, teammate Slimani in Algerian team. The two men knew each other well, and their agreement was efficient under Christian Gourcuff era. So far, the Italian coach of several associations including profit-Vardy Vardy or Okazaki-Ulloa, but Slimani option could lead to the departure of the latter. The former coach of Monaco appreciate the quality of the top game of the former goleador CR Bélouizdad also slaughter that perfectly matches the Foxes game philosophy.

This is not a new track since that name was already checked last season by the technician. Kanté party Mahrez Vardy and still in the game, Leicester is keen to strengthen offensively in view of the C1. The English champions title will face Porto, Club Brugge and FC Copenhagen in Group G. In his first participation in the largest European competition, Leicester inexperience. Other recruits could land at the Foxes before the end of the transfer window. Islam Slimani is clearly part. But as deemed intractable business with Joao Mario record, Sporting Portugal, also called C1, do not imagine whiling striker. Last winter, the Portuguese club turned down an offer from a big club Chinese ... but also a check for € 18M proposed by Everton. Sporting Portugal has not been champion since 2002, and Jorge Jesus does not want to spend to achieve this Slimani grail as hoped by the president Bruno de Carvalho. It is there ...
 

That hurt my head!

1. It's the same source that said Mahrez was going to Arsenal that we all rubbished.

 

2. It says rejected anyway.

3. It says Jamie Vardy is an Algerian international..

[adimo1409]

Sporting are reported to be interested in Dost of Wolfsburg 

can't see them selling Slimani without a replacement 

[richardsfoxes]

Jesus christ why have we left it this late...

I think hodgson thought that as well.

[RoyFox]

Relax guys, Slimani has seen his Champions League group and said "Get me the F out of here"....

[SheppyFox]

So now his 30m clause has expired, they're asking for 40m? Ofcourse they were going to do that if they never intended on selling, it begs the question why we thought it would be cheaper without the clause in place? 

[Mezeker]

We are acting like Arsenal in the transfer market.

Didn't know we were after him ....   I expect with inflation he will cost a bit more than 30 pieces of silver now though.

Smokescreen for Conor Sammon I reckon

I get the impression we're making token bids that are expected to be rejected just to look as if there's some activity

Our recruitment is ridiculous... We've had all summer!

Normally agree with you Babs, but I think that is a bit harsh.  There's nothing to indicate we haven't been trying hard behind the scenes and as we all know, the club is pretty secretive about a lot of its targets (apart from Walsh's, who apparently Everton are now trying to sign!).  

 

Agree on people not getting carried away though, this does look and smell like the Mahrez to Arsenal but now it's someone coming to us it is all true! However, I'll caveat that with, maybe Riyad was going at one point but then was talked round by the players and staff.  He really didn't look that happy during a lot of preseason.  I'm looking forward to seeing the happy him back playing against his favourite opposition this weekend!

Smokescreen to show the fans we are seriously intent on signing someone when we aren't prepared to pay either the fee or the salary.

If only we could take a peak behind that blue veil... We can only draw on what we're fed from the press, social media and snowflake ITK's that we gobble up like a pack starving rats. I understand your frustration though it is kind of annoying as fvck.
