I know you can't help injuries but the amount of times he's been out or had a niggle this season, £30 million for a player who's never available when we need him isn't good enough. Would be happy to get £20million back to invest elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 19 April 2017 Share Posted 19 April 2017 I still believe he can be a top Premier League striker, capable of 15-20 goals a season in the right team. We have 6 games left. I hope Shakey starts him and Vardy together in at least 3-4 of those, so we can have a better idea on the prospect of a partnership next season. Those saying we have to have Okazaki in the side for us to be successful, only need look at how well we competed in both Atletico games without him, so I don't see playing Slimani instead, as a big risk and we need to give him starts so we can make a judgement call on him, as offers could be coming in again in the summer. Vardy in the last couple of months has proved again how he is our star striker and if they can't forge a decent partnership and Slimani isn't happy being our expensive plan B from the bench, then I will accept that selling him in the summer might be best for all concerned. Ulloa will surely leave too, so we will need at least two strikers to replace them. I would like us to go for Sigurdsson behind Vardy and then have a like for like change for Vardy on the bench and perhaps a young tall striker who is a threat from the air, similar to Slimani and Ulloa, who could give us a plan B type attack. Easier said than done I know but with Vardy leading the line, and a player like Sigurdsson behind, we could be quite a force, especially if we have a genuine aerial threat from the bench to benefit from Fuchs, Albrighton and Mahrez's crosses. Vardy, Sigurdsson, Okazaki, Andre Gray, Tammy Abraham (loan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim isn't mobile? Now that is a new one, he isn't mobile like Oka, but he moves more than Ulloa and works hard. Like every day someone comes with a different criticism to him, I pity him for real.

Chocolate Teapot Posted 19 April 2017 Share Posted 19 April 2017 Biggest game in the clubs history. Morgan did everything to be fit for tonight and probably ended his season. Slim played a couple of games a few weeks ago and cried off again. Tells you all you need to know about his character. Warrior my arse. Rudders, get on the phone to China.

More mobile than the ulloa who is back at the half way line putting tackles in, contesting the majority of balls up to him (a major flaw in slimanis game for a guy who's so big is that he rarely leaves the floor to challenge)? Sorry but Ulloas work rate can't be questioned, he lacks a bit of quality but he would be ahead of Slimani everyday of the week for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really think he'd skip out on the CL quarter final because he couldn't be arsed? This is a player that showed none of that attitude at Sporting and was never injured.

Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 19 April 2017 Share Posted 19 April 2017 I thought Ulloa proved last night that there is no reason for him to be below Slim in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyrobot Posted 19 April 2017 Share Posted 19 April 2017 Starting to think that he's our Sturridge. Permanently injured or thinking he's injured. He's got to work his way back in now with Ulloa performing admirably last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever actually seen him play? Find me a player who'd come here who's as good in the air as Slimani and as quick? He's no Vardy but he's really no slouch.

Col city fan Posted 19 April 2017 Share Posted 19 April 2017 Whatever your views on Slim, he's had a massively disappointing season in a blue shirt. The club's record signing, coming from a strong Sporting side, with lotsa goals to his name....i think if you weren't expecting more from him this season, you'd be telling porkies. The question now is do we sell him and cut our losses or keep him and hope he gets fit and somehow 'fits' into how we play. I hope I'm wrong but I just get the feeling that City and Slimani may well never 'work' so to speak. It'll be interesting to see what we do. Without a doubt, if there was a massive bid from China in Jan, we should have sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he has more quality than Ulloa, about the aerial duels, he wins them in the box, although he should win more in the midfield and Ulloa is better at that.

Vardy and even Okazaki win more in the air then him. For his height and build he's ordinary in the air, in fact Ulloa's probably better. In terms of pace he may be fast enough for a possession team, but certainly not for our style of play. With Slim the options are easy, either we change our style for him or he plays a bit part off the bench. No doubt he'll score goals if we put the ball in the box and he's only got the goalie to beat form a couple of yards. He's an Algerian Benteke, who'll do well in a Pullis/Allardyce team.

How can you say he isn't good in the air if most of his goals come from headers? Seriously I don't understand some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scores headers, sure, but he doesn't jump for them, so I am not sure how he is good in the air or that he wins aerial duels. He tends to get in front of players, and heads them from what I recall.

Costock_Fox Posted 19 April 2017 Share Posted 19 April 2017 I think I would probably keep Leo and shift Slimani on purely on the basis of his injury record. If he stays and has a decent run he will score goals no doubt about it but does he fit into a team with Vardy? Not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
