Matt Posted 5 May 2017 Share Posted 5 May 2017 5 minutes ago, Stevosevic said: 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 think he is happy not to be a starter, he just wants to play in some capacity, so be it if it's off the bench, he'll take that, he wasn't even getting near the bench under Ranieri though, certainly not off it (This season).

Don't know if it's wholly Shakespeare's decision so don't know if that affects it. Maybe another Rudkin masterstroke. Which somehow translates to him being here until 2019.

Tuna Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 We all seem a little underwhelmed with this. He's a capable premier league player who offers us a different option up front without needing to play week in week out. I think he's liked amongst the squad, happy to have him around. Most of the teams in the bottom half of the premier league would be happy to have him in our squad and before anyone says we need to aim higher, it's a squad game and we need options.

davieG Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 I'd be happy with this I don't believe it means Slim will leave although he might it gives us more options/cover and we all know strikers can hit lengthy barren spells. I'd rather hope they spend any money on strengthening the defence and midfield and use any U23s as the deeper striker cover if we get hit by a big injury list upfront.

ithuriel Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 If true then good, an experienced striker who has done well for us in the past and can still do a job, I half expected Brighton to come in for him at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 Well let's not be hearing any more moaning then because if this is true he should know his job is to sit on the bench as 4th choice and we are paying him to do exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems quite determined to succeed here judging by his interviews. I'd rather we offload Ulloa and get someone younger in. Appreciate the goals he has scored but he's just going to go mouthing off to the press again if we're not playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 20 hours ago, Matt said: Slimani's gone then!

I guarantee if Slimani had done what Ulloa had done you would be slating him I like Ulloa but stats don't lie - Slimani is a better player. The favouritism towards Ulloa on here irritates me.

Ulloa is never a CAM in my opinion, too slow and clumsy - he is someone you could throw on against a parked bus. We need someone with a bit of pedigree and who can do the dirty work, while being able to pick a pass. This is unless Barnes can force his way into the starting 11.

Good on Shakey for bringing Leo back into the fold. That's how you manage your players. Dont forget there were plenty on here heavily criticizing Leo though.

The Floyd Posted 6 May 2017 Share Posted 6 May 2017 Irrespective of his actions in January, I cannot believe we are keeping Ulloa for his footballing ability. We look painful going forward when he's playing and the only reason he may have stood out against Atlético is because they were literally just camping in their own box allowing us to flood balls into him.
