Mike Oxlong Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 40 million is useful money but the recent track record of recruitment (with the odd exception) makes me think we'd use it to get two Akinbiyis and a a Junior Lewis

It looks a tidy profit. But only if you reinvest it wisely. We have our pants pulled down on any subsequent striker transfer. Probably pay £20 million for Jordan Rhodes!!
sylofox Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 This really should be closed till the summer window. He can't play for them this season so would have to stay here on loan.
Nick Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 Slim's scored 7 in 18 for us in a side that's not been creating chances and also a few assists I think he's a 20 goal a season Prem striker in a creative team and they cost 30 million quid plus these days. Not for sale.

It's technically not his right to even worry about it. Contract Slimmy, contract, employer, contract!!! If he were near the end, then so be it, but he isn't so he SHOULD have no right to bleat or moan.

Countryfox Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 Tell the Chinese to fook off .... tell Leo to shut up and get his head down ... get back to work on the shopping list and firstly buy a CB ... stuff the fookin Rams then get some work done on the training ground ... Why does life need to be so fookin complicated ! ...

foxfanazer Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 It's a bad that I just don't care whether he stays or goes? Bit of a nothing player for me personally
Thracian Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 Let him go and give Ulloa a rise. Mahrez too if we can rake in £100m. I don't think either have their hearts here.

RonnieTodger Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 £40m is no good to us if we get relegated.
char123 Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 People say he can't play for 3 clubs in one season. Surely that rules out this move as he's already played for us and Sporting?thats a uefa thing and china dont fall under the uefa umbrellaSent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Rusko187 Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 I like Slimmy and think he will be a loss but I don't think he gets the appreciation he deserves at times. That said reject £40m and see what they come back with, I may be swayed for more. Would be nice if they offered 50/60m for Mahrez, I'd pay for the flight.

I know they were big a while ago but with all the members and recent low profile I'm sure they'd jump at the chance.
Babylon Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 These China links tend to come out after they have had encouragement from agents, so that's pretty worrying.

Provided he's getting the service he requires/deserves. Can't just always have Mahrez only to whip them in, Albrighton needs to step up, as well. We'd also need a proper attacking midfielder to take away defensive duties from Slimani, you can't expect him to always track back when we need him ready further up front in a more advanced position.
katieakita Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 Of course it could be Mahrez is off in the summer so getting shot of both for around £80 million might be behind the reasoning, just depends who we would be looking at as replacements.

I hope that he's in it for the money and I hope he goes if we can get anywhere near the sort of money being talked about (probably all paper talk though). IMHO he is nowhere near a £28-30m player. If he goes we should be able to get someone better for far less money. Problem will be getting someone in before the window 'slams shut'.
