Slimani

[RODNEY FERNIO]

Our summer signings were absolutely horrendous ..... N'Didi  in January was a lot, lot better ... hopefully we've learnt from our mistakes

[Jattdogg]

I think he is a good striker  but dont feel like he fits in with us. Ulloa is a much cheaper option.

 

I expect slim to leave this summer  and bang in goals elsewhere. 

 

 

[Micky]

He comes on when the team are dead on their feet. He chases and harries and misses a one on one. That makes him shit? Good grief this place is full of short sighted people.

[VLC86]

At the minute Slim isn't a better option than Leo.

That's FT for ya.

Even after a heroic win and battling performance, some would rather just focus on the negatives when there's so much to be positive about. But each to their own I guess....

you should see the Musa thread. First away win of the season and aside from the post-match thread, the Musa and Slimani threads have flared to life.

I'm short sighted then. Slimani is hopeless.

I didn't think he was that bad, he isn't really a one on one striker. But he put himself about a bit and bought us time. Which is more than you can say for that fraud Musa who was horrendous.

He can score one on ones, it isn't his best spot but he can do them easily. At least he could, now I can't really tell to be honest. He looks a completely different player from last season.

Goals/assists to games ratio suggest otherwise but you have to run round like a cvnt to he appreciated by Leicester fans.

Absolutely. The hysteria around him is reaching ridiculous levels. Most of the people here can't wait for one of his mistakes to happily pull the trigger. Completely obssessed by a price tag he didn't set. I wish him to go.

Price has nothing to do with it 

 

he is crap 

 

if he cost £3m he would still be crap 

 

the guy is an expensive failure

Cant remember you calling him hopeless earlier in the season when he scored vital goals against Porto, West Ham, Boro, Burnley and provided assists for vital goals against City, Palace and Copenhagen.

I'm not saying he cannot score them, just that it's not his strength. Vardy misses them, sometimes horrifically so but people can't wait to get in slimani back.

It's obvious why we bought him: Champions League goals, off the boot of Algerian team mate Mahrez, which he provided.

 

Teams were always going to sit back and let us play it into the box this year, especially if we had Vardy and Okazaki up front. So we needed a big man who could lean on them and hurt them for it. He's proven good at that. 

 

Obviously I expect a £30m player to be able to do more than just head it. But he's an improvement on Ulloa, who can't trap a bag of cement. 

 

Speaking of, is it time for a thread about Premier League players with a touch like a baby elephant? Leonardo may have scored some important goals (with his head mostly), but I'll be damned if I can understand how a player can get near to that level with such terrible ball control. Slimani's better than that.

Just look at Costa's first touch. It ain't great at all and he has the mobility of a truck.

He isn't crap, far from it. He will show the doubters wrong in time and start bagging goals for fun soon.

To some people in this forum the best thing is say Yes he is, and move on. Not everyone understands football you know.

Yeah, whatever you say is right.

He added nothing today. He's not a lost cause like Musa but I expected a little bit more.

He is a North African Ian Marshall  

 

but worse

I'd take an Ian Marshall, terrific for us. If he can be as effective as Ian was he will be alright by me. 

[boots60]

I know we all like to back our players especially when they are not doing too good. But £29 MILLION!!!!!

Come on

He really isn't worth anywhere near that.

[Sharpe's Fox]

Leo has looked like twice the player for us. The fact that Slim and Musa are ahead of him is scandalous.

Shouldn't have pulled that shit in january. He'd been playing now. And no, he ain't better than Slim.

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

He's a good striker and extremely effective.... IF you play to his strengths. 

 

Unfortunately, our preferred way of playing doesn't suit him. Ulloa is a cheaper option and adequate as a target man if we need to play that way. If we get an offer of  £35m+ from China then I'd defo let Slim go personally.
