willie-bell-in-rothley Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 Leo always gives 100% , not always as quick with laying the ball off but offers something different. I would love to see him stay, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why I keep reading this sort of stuff. We haven't won a single game he's been involved in since his return whereas Slimani was helping us win games. Ulloa may hold the ball up better occasionally but he's no goal threat, he's always involved in a scrap with the defender in the box instead of powering headers in the goal, and constantly gives away fouls. In fact I'd love to see a stat of fouls given away in his last three matches compared to Slimani since he joined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has scored some huge goals for us, including very nearly scoring some important goals in the last few games. A fit Ulloa is easily on par with Slimani. There is no room for both of them though, they are too similar. I personally prefer a down to earth and give everything Ulloa, over an over hyped and seemingly injury prone Slimani. But that is of course my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimani would score goals too but how often he'd be available i wouldn't like to rely on. I'd still be looking for an additional striker either way.

Leaving us with; Vardy Shinji Ulloa Slimani Assuming one of Ulloa and Slimani leave that leaves us thin. We need another player who can play the number 10 role, one that is a bit stronger than Shinji. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horse's Mouth Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 thought his career was over here after acting like a bit of a prat in January, but it hasn't let it effect his performances. I think he's probably better off leaving mind, especially at his age. But if we're able to retain him, then he'll always be a real asset from the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsell1976 Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 If we buy a striker, which we will and had to choose between Leo and Okazaki, I'd keep Leo. Okazaki offers little, and at least Leo puts himself about, and scores goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 Ulloa refused to play for the club just a few months ago so he wanted out due to lack of playing time. He's had couple of sub appearances under Shakespeare and now he's suddenly happy to stay here? Or maybe he just hated Ranieri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucey Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 He was already unhappy with the amount of playing time he got in 15/16 (even though he was coming on most games), but put up with it because we were winning. I don't see how even fewer sub appearances now will satisfy his desire for regular playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 23 April 2017 Share Posted 23 April 2017 Nailed on to Brighton.. He should thank the Club after refiusing his move to Blunderland. Leo should bin his agent after that fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royston. Posted 24 April 2017 Share Posted 24 April 2017 ulloa is a good option to have in the squad but he's good enough to play regularly for someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 24 April 2017 Share Posted 24 April 2017 If Shakey starts using the wing backs formation more with a target man in the middle then he may get more time, although I can't see him overtaking Slimani's role in that formation. But then we'd only use that formation as plan B to the usual Shinji and Vardy. So we'd be asking him to be a stand in to a plan B formation, and second place sub in the plan A formation. He's been quite vocal about his ambitions, ones it does not look like we'll be able to fulfill. If we force him to stay he may eventually become disruptive in the dressing room.

BrummieFOX Posted 24 April 2017 Share Posted 24 April 2017 I do like Ulloa but Slimani is definitely more prolific. Agree that there's no point keeping both and I imagine Leo will be off in the summer along with Musa. That would need us leaving another No.10. Hopefully Sigurdsson.

Like actual real goals that actually get you real points and win you games. It's funny that some players are slated for "nearly scoring" while others are praised for doing the exact same thing.

lgfualol Posted 24 April 2017 Share Posted 24 April 2017 Sell and get a young replacement in. Think Leo can get solid game time at a top Champ team or someone like Brighton and we'll probably get 6m for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
