DontSellMahrez Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Here until 2019 apparently. Not amazing news. Could be worse.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 We might be grateful we still have him come next season's kick off.
FireFox Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Source? Just one more year added from his previous contract - has to be a bit of a wage increase and some sort of buyout clause.
AKCJ Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Is he going to apologise for telling Sky that he's refusing to play for us ever again to try and force a move when we have insufficient cover?
Matt Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Slimani's gone then! Whilst I understand his comments in January and wasn't outraged one bit because I understood where he was coming from he perhaps should have phrased his comments abit better as in 'I will never play for Ranieri again' not 'I will never play for Leicester again' TBF he had no choice if he's said 'I will never play for Ranieri again' because Ranieri would have picked him even if we had no strikers available! I don't understand why people had the arse with him for his comments tbh, do they not understand he simply wanted to play? When others were playing dogshit for one reason or another and he still wasn't given a chance? He was willing the leave for a paycut, he simply wanted to play, isn't that what we want to hear?! Yes he threw his toys out the pram but for positive reasons. Anyway, i'm glad, I like Leo and think he does a job for us.
Benguin Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 I'll put In some positivity then, Yes get in, great guy is Leo and he's scored some important goals! Oh His Name Is Leonardo!!!!!!

You honestly believe that a man that is only contracted until the end of the season, has the power to sign a player until 2019?! Come on, use your head. If he has resigned, CS will have had very little to do with it.
Finnaldo Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Don't understand the issue with Ulloa to be honest, whenever he's called upon he delivers or at the very least has an impact on the game. He helped turned the game around against Atletico to top it off. I'm not sure on the fall out between him & Ranieri but it was ultimately turbulent for all at the club. He's not world class but in this system he works as a different option that always seems to have a positive impact when it's not quite going our way.
Jaspa Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Strange one No matter what was happening, he shouldn't have been stood outside the ground saying he'd never play for us again; business has to be dealt with internally. Over the last three years though he has become abit of a legend, he scores goals and wears the number 23 ect. He's still very adept at this level and is unique in what he does. He has to repay the fans and clubs faith with performances
lgfualol Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Gonna need a source. Would prefer to see him go, he is already ridiculously slow so by 2019 it'll take him a month to run from one side of the pitch to the other.
DontSellMahrez Posted 5 May 2017 Author Posted 5 May 2017 Presume the news will break at some point soon... mum's friend has shown him a new house to rent today. Don't know if it's wholly Shakespeare's decision so don't know if that affects it. Maybe another Rudkin masterstroke.
stevelcfc Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Yes then Leo, he's never let us down on the pitch. Yes, he shouldn't have said when he did, but equally the way we and Claudio treated him, you can understand why.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Ranieri tried to fvck him over and people hold a grudge against Leo for just trying to play football. Good on Shakey for bringing Leo back into the fold. That's how you manage your players.
Guest Col city fan Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 So all the 'in the knows' on here then, who said he was off, were spouting shite?

Koke Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 At least we can still sing my favourite player chant. Oh his name is Leonardo...

Stevosevic Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 If he's still happy to not be a starter then fine. I'd still like proper competition for Vardy - as in quick and a live wire (not musa as he is shit)

I do think Ulloa had a problem with Ranieri, and not the club itself though. Ulloa is still on his 2014 contract so he's on relatively low wages. So his new deal will keep him here.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 Surprised he's staying. I assume this means Slimani will probably move in the summer if this is the case. I'd be pleased to keep Ulloa, he's been key throughout his time here with the goals he's scored. Towards the end of the 2014/15 season he was particularly instrumental, netted a few good goals in our revival. Other teams will profit from having Slimani though assuming he does go, I still think he has pedigree in front of goal and in the penalty area.
Nugent Posted 5 May 2017 Posted 5 May 2017 I think he's been very good on the pitch these last few weeks considering he barely kicked a ball all season before that.
