Mezeker Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Personally i dont think this means much for Leo, we have so many games.
Vlad the Fox Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 1 hour ago, chapero82 said: Sorry mate translate - Google Search The Algerian striker Islam Slimani said Sunday , after playing against Porto his last game with Sporting Lisbon, he moved on to Leicester. The attacker , who scored in the victory (2-1 ) of the lisboetas , record by the English champion club for 30 million euros. Slimani came to Sporting in 2013 and after the victory over the team Iker Casillas told his companions his march to take a trip to the UK and start a new stage , in this case Claudio Ranieri orders in Leicester. Sixth signing of Leicester Slimani comes after Musa , Mendy , Kaputska , Zieler and Luis Hernandez to reinforce the market leaders Leicester this summer. Is dyche moonlighting for google translate now?
whoareyaaa Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Hope we do get it done, our attack will be absolutely devastating once everyone is on song with plenty of options. All the pundits are once again rimming the big 4 and saying its a one season wonder I beg to differ, time will tell.
Sly Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 What people forget with Leo is that he was used in later stages of games to shore the defence up. How often was he deep, defending corners, free kicks etc? Slimani may may add a more clinical approach at the sharp end. I feel we may be sacrificing a tactical shift in securing him however. On a positive note, this transfer has been muted for around three seasons and it sounds like we might finally have secured the signature.
Innovindil Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Honestly think this will be the best signing of the summer. With mahrez now demanding the attention of 3 players each time he gets the ball, one switch of play to Albrighton, one cross, one slimani header and it's a goal. Easy peasy.
foxes21 Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Post on reddit, by a Sporting fan: A ****ing gladiator that's who he is. Always gave 100% in every match. I will forever remember the cup final where we were losing 2-0 and one man down at 20 minutes and the entire team was apathetic and powerless, almost just waiting for the final whistle to call it a day, and super Sli battling 4 or 5 men alone, never stopped running and pressuring, battling for every ****ing ball that was in a 30m radius. He ended up scoring, we leveled 2-2 with one man less, went to penalties and won it. I saw Acosta end our championship drought, Jardel breaking the goal record, Liedson humiliating rival defenses but I will be dammed if Slimani was not best striker I saw with a Sporting jersey. How can you not be excited by this signing?!
Sly Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Just reading http://www.forumscp.com/ .... drop it into the ibox google translate thing. €35 + €5 for goals. Then we've also bid €20 for Adrien Silva, their captain.
dylanlegend Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Double swoop for Slimi and Carvalho? I would jizz
ROB-THE-BLUE Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 I can't wait for all the Algerian fans to flood the LCFC Facebook fan pages with comments... There'll be a match report for the u21's followed by pages of replies saying "Mahrez is the best" and "I <3 Slimani"
Nalis Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Its a bit surreal when the Champions League facebook page has an update on Slimani scoring from Sporting v Porto and I lot of the posts are from 14 year olds from Algeria saying 'Welcome to Lester with Merhaz #ALG'...
HighPeakFox Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 If we must break our transfer record for Slimani, I do hope that it's done naturally.
brookfox Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Looks like he'll give us a very nice other source of goals into the starting 11. We'll still score the counter attacking goals like Vardy at the weekend, and hopefully with his work rate he'll contribute to the pressing. But against teams that sit back we've now got the hit the touch line and cross it in option. Can't see Vardy or Mahrez getting as many as last season so we were lacking another regular goal threat.
Callabinho Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 I've seen the Silva link too? Apparently it's a double deal taking it to over £30 million?
Babylon Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 9 hours ago, st albans fox said: Vardy cannot play every PL and CL game. Some of you are forgetting this. And that's why we signed Musa, so we can replace pace with pace.
Charl91 Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 So we're probably looking at one of... Vardy / Okazaki Vardy / Slimani Musa / Okazaki Musa / Slimani .... as I imagine Slimani will play the deeper Okazaki role.
Charl91 Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 Though now I think about it, a 4-2-3-1 could work quite nicely. Slimani Musa - Okazaki - Vardy Drinkwater, Amartey Fuchs Huth Morgan Simpson
Babylon Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 9 hours ago, st albans fox said: We should have beaten yanited at home. That was two points he cost us with a poor finish. he won us two against norwich he took the pen against the hammers but someone else could have. Scored couple against Swansea - could have won in any case. They were terrible. if Claudio thought Leo was the answer, he wouldn't have been trying to get in another striker in January. his game and touch improved second half last season but he really isn't top six quality. I know we won the league but as a first change sub, he wasn't an absolutely integral part. im not dissing his contribution but I really want us to move on with a better alternative. like I said, slimani may or may not be that man. 9 hours ago, st albans fox said: Hang on people. We all love Leo. If we are comfortable being a mid table prem side then Leo is fine. If we want to be challenging for top four then he isn't. slimani may or may not be a better option. Looks like we will get the chance to see. 9 hours ago, SilverFox said: Did you miss last season? His point being I presume that we weren't mid table last year with him as third choice

He's toss and it would revert him back to the season before last, with few goals.
GaelicFox Posted 29 August 2016 Posted 29 August 2016 How many thread have you and fenic started on this

On the other hand, I just realised I'd forgotten Mahrez.... In which case, Vardy would go up front, and would be a toss-up for Slimani and Okazaki in behind.
