Babylon Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 Portuguese press had a front page headline that Leicester had offered £20M which was turned down because it did not match the buyout of £23M. It was about a week ago. The Portuguese press have been writing stuff for two years and this guy was just about the one and only player Pearson has ever said it wasn't true about our interest.

Babylon Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 I don't buy this 'he plays in a shit league so might not be good'.Nobody has even said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokes Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 I fail to understand how people can't see how much quality deeney has, in the role we want and need, in the league we play in. I think we should keep bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dames Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 I think Deeney and Vardy up front would be a quality partnership no nonsense. As much as a part of Okazaki as been this season there was countless times he just fell over when the team were in a good position allowing the opposition to come straight back at us. Deeney would offer much better hold up/link up play imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should keep bidding. I'm coming round to the idea to be honest - just hope we buy another striker as well to compete with Vardy for places or play in a three up front.

AKCJ Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 Deeney or Slimani? No brainer, Deeney 100%. Why is that a no-brainer Tuna? If the price is right for both of those players (Slimani 23m release clause and Deeney about 15m actual value) then i'd have Deeney too. But if the prices arethe prices that have been mentioned (Deeney 30m?!) then it's definitely not a "no brainer" to go for Deeney. Personally, I think both players would fit into the side. Deeney would help the team score more whereas Slimani would score more himself. If we have 3 players scoring 10+ goals next season then I think we'll be in the top 4 again. If we keep Mahrez and Vardy and sign Slimani then I can see that happening. So i'd have either, but i'd prefer Slimani for the money we're talking about. I think he's a better footballer.

AKCJ Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 Nobody has even said that. Mainly because the Portuguese league isn't shit at all. It's ranked 6th, I think. Behind La Liga, Bundesliga, Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgy Bob Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 No and that's what we've got an expert team of analysts for who've done pretty ****ing well so far. The only exception is Kramaric and actually I think he looks a good player who'd score at this level, he was just a daft signing for us in terms of playing style. If Kramaric had been at a premier league club with his alleged hype and potential he'd have cost four times the amount. The prices here are just insane. From Hoffenheim's point of view Kramaric did come from a premier league club and he hardly cost them anything. What happened to all that hype and potential? The premier league happened. You can score as many hundreds of goals as you like in the Mediterranean bvowiaketskitwyliliegeski league and be as hyped as you like but there's no guarantee whatsoever that you'll be able to transfer that form to the premier league.

Vardinio'sCat Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 I know im new and all, so i remember when i signed up; the question to be part of the forum was where was Amartey from? You need to start asking questions like who is better Sanchez or Deeney. Just so we can set a baseline for proper discourse. To make things worse out of all the players that are actually class he choose the one that actually has an insanely high work rate. Great point, of all the forwards to compare him to. Sanchez is known for his workrate, its one of his strongest assets. I would take Sanchez of course, over Deeney, but I'm not sure we could afford the wages. I think Deeney is recognised by the whole PL as a quality player, and its hard to think of anyone who would slip in quite so easily. I would be happy with Deeney and Musa, because they look like the best fit with our style. I don't really know very much about Slimani, but can he integrate into our system as well as the the two I mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it would be nice to have genuine options upfront, I do think deeney has a certain flexibility that would give us options to play different formations.

Vardinio'sCat Posted 10 June 2016 Share Posted 10 June 2016 OK then guys, some of you are winning me over. Let's play safe and pay over the odds for a striker who is OK, and English, rather than an International player of obvious quality who happens not to be English. It is so obvious that so many people on here, simply because they have never seen Slimani, are desperately trying to convince everyone, probably including themselves as well, that we must buy someone whom they have seen play, because to them it makes no sense to buy someone they have never seen play. Is there anyone out there who has seen Slimani play saying that Deeney is better? It is true that we are naturally biased to what we know to be good, thats what the prospect of spending £20 million does to 'us'. Ultmately, I really trust the current set up more than anyone, and they bid the big bucks for Slimani, so I don't doubt he is a great player. But quality players are at a premium, and everyone knows about the TV money. We seem to have a limit of around 20, but will that get us any of Slimani, Musa or Deeney? You would have hoped so, but none of the selling clubs has cracked yet. In Claudio and Walsh I trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper/Zieler but its just a dream Put Musa as a striker option instead of competition as Albrighton, purely because you forgot Schlupp. Add another midfielder In there let's say Vilhena, Hernandez from Gijon will add competition in defence & we're sorted! If Ranieri was to be greedy he could add another winger, been linked with Konoplyanka recently & add a more attacking right back (Arias) jobs a gooden.
