It'll be good when he's off in the summer. His stats are fine, it's his performances and effect on the team that aren't. Slimani hasn't been mentioned to me individually but your comment fits with a general comment made to me about different factions within the dressing room. Whether the situation has changed with Shaky in charge I can't say for sure but I'd imagine there's a big difference judging by our efforts on he field.

He's not starting 'fans favourite' Amartey and he's picking Shinji over Slim. He's also not bowed down to the majority thinking on here (that Chilwell should 'surely' replace Fuchs), nor has he gone anyway near Kaputska. And thank God...we've won four out of four. Does that seem like any sort of coincidence to you? It doesn't to me. What I'm hoping in the summer is that Shakey (or someone with just as much sense) comes in and has a really good clear-out of these bang average players we've accumulated since Pearson departed. I think Mendy is injured col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to argue with those decisions, in terms of making our particular team tick. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't with Ranieri, not Ranieri's fault in my opinion. Not seen the comments post Southampton about Vardy not understanding his role and then Shakey saying we asked him to play further forward? Its as clear as day the tactics have changed and to say the players simply weren't trying is unfair - the players weren't comfortable with the tactics Ranieri was trying and trying to change it last season was crazy and ultimately was the reason he got sacked.

It'll be good when he's off in the summer. I find it hilarious someone at the club thought he was worth £30m - he's barely worth half that. I know you have an ear at the club, is Slimani almost certainly off in the summer? Also did the club really turn down £40m from China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to either grow up or begin to trawl through the plethora of posts and threads from times past on here. We always strive for the best and don't accept mediocrity on the pitch - or at least favour commitment and teamwork. It's always been that way. More often than not, we tend to hit the nail on the head collectively. Again, I could equally say you only pop up when Slimani is involved. Fanboy much?

Because this thread after a Leicester game is always in the top spot.... That is why I post, no fanboy here, just a football spectator that happens to know something about football, I am no expert far from it, but can understand much things and that is why I comment, and the day any other player thread begins to be in the top spot everytime like this one I will defend him too.

dannythefox Posted 21 March 2017 Share Posted 21 March 2017 I think if we got offered anywhere near what we paid for him most fans would snap your hands off for the money back and get someone who can fit in with our style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite striker is Aguero, Slimani doesn't even figure in my top-20 strikers. Look, you're doing it again. Defending your hero like crazy on here. If that's you standing up for Slimani, I don't want to see what you do to Manchester City fans on their forums when you talk about Agüero. I appreciate it that you adore the man for what he's done for your club, but I don't see how judging a player's past accomplishments have that much of a say in his present-day evaluation (at a different club). Sometimes, it just don't fit. Sometimes, you excel only for a limited period of time. I hope it's not the case with Slimani, but he looks quite the way off the mark right now. Oh, and btw: Please stop dude-ing me, dude. "Dude" is reserved for my fellow Canadian (and mostly) American friends - not for a Portuguese football know-it-all.
