Kitchandro Posted 29 March 2017 Share Posted 29 March 2017 It's funny to blame Rudkin but in fairness we should never have been in for him in the first place. If the scouts told him this bloke was worth all this money and hassle he was right to do as he was told. Now, if we were in for a better striker and he didn't get that deal over the line so we went after Slimani instead, then that's a different matter....

theessexfox Posted 29 March 2017 Share Posted 29 March 2017 I imagine this is a fairly common clause in contracts these days, much ado about nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem isn't with Rudkin; it's with whoever sanctioned the deal in the first place. Dilly ding, dilly dong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true we tracked him, but he always felt he was too expensive. And whilst Mendy was on the list, he wasn't his number one - Gueye was. His top targets this summer were Bolasie, Keane, Deeney and Gueye. Oooohh ITK fight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha - it's not a fight - what Albert said was probably right, he was on the list but not for the price we paid, and others weren't top targets as I said.

USFox Posted 30 March 2017 Share Posted 30 March 2017 I still think Slimani is a top class striker, he just doesn't fit with the needs of this team. Would like to see him go to another Prem League side or the Bundesliga, I think he'd do well there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even reckon he'd thrive somewhere like Spurs or Everton, obviously wouldn't start over Kane or Lukaku, our system is so unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't know on this one - whoever was behind it deserves a lot of credit. If it was Walsh Everton may have been sniffing, which they weren't so could have been Macia.

But if I were him, I'd finish my career in China if those rumours of a 400-500k/week salary were true. Plus the average height in china is like 5'7 so he can strive even more with those headers.

Wymsey Posted 31 March 2017 Share Posted 31 March 2017 For his transfer fee, it's quite over-inflated considering he's really on par with Ulloa in terms of attributes etc. Had expected more from him to be honest with the fee involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City1884 Posted 31 March 2017 Share Posted 31 March 2017 I may be on my own here, but I think people are being a bit short sighted with regards to Slimani......... yes, his transfer fee was inflated, and we haven't seen anywhere near enough from him to warrant the £30m price tag, however.......... People are stating Mahrez is worth over £30m, and I'm sure if someone came in for Vardy in the summer, everyone would want us to get £30m for him, and yet they've hardly been showing £30m worth of form this season yet either! I believe we could be about to see more from Slimani in this new, rejuvenated Shakespeare era. The whole team was lacking in confidence until 4 games ago, service to the strikers was extremely poor, and energy throughout the team was lacking. I honestly don't believe Slimani was playing any worse than the likes of Mahrez and Vardy were, and he still managed to nick a few goals. Personally, I'd like to see him get a proper run in the side alongside Vardy now, and then we can really judge him. If the goals don't come during this improved period, then there will be no defending him, and we should then try to sell to the highest bidder we can muster. But if we are judging him (and the rest of the team for that matter) on the first 6 months of this season, surely we'd be wanting to sell just about everyone?? In my mind, I'll be treating his next first team start as his debut, and I'll start forming my opinions then............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
