CollinsLCFC Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 Just read a tweet from some guy on Twitter who seems to be a itk who said slimani is to be offloaded, likely abroad. Don't know how reliable. On another note, he's assured Iheanacho is Leicester bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifted*fox Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 Slimani just posted a video to instagram. Looks pretty chilled with everyone else tbh. Getting rid would be a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Earle Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 I'd love him to stay and come good, but I just can't see it. He's nowhere near the kind of player to partner Vardy (egs Okazaki, Deeney, Iheanacho) and there's no sign of the club thinking of 'rotating' him & Vardy, which is what I expected when we signed him. If we can get 80-90% of what we paid for him back, take it, with some reluctance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 What he should do is throw a strop about not being sold - he'll be in talks for a new contract 7 months later and we keep a good striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chico1958 Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 If the guy goes who talked him in to coming here he'll be pretty isolated Just feel if we're keeping Ulloa then it's saying he can leave....... Just hope he goes abroad, I would hate to see him getting a bag full of goals for another Premier Team and thinking of what might have been. Sorry, but every time Kramaric scored last season it felt like we missed out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite scary if true and maybe Claudio isn't as cuddly as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF Kanté was vastly preferred by the scouting team over Mendy (Ranieri wanted him desperately) and Walsh wasn't sold on Slimani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callabinho Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 Slimani, Musa, Benny, Hernandez and Kaputska were all Steve Walsh signings...al of which were monitored under Pearson and his time at the club....the only player Ranieri wanted way Mendy, and Walsh didn't.... Claudio's hair brain second season basically forced all of those players out, bar Slimani who was injured....I reckon Musa will be used this season...and I think islam will too....

Chrysalis Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 Why are people saying Ulloa will be "happy to be second string"? he didn't look too happy when his weird face popped up on SSN last January.cause he was 4th choice behind a dog shite musaslimani was ok until winter arrived then the gloves came, lack of energy and injury.hes not even young at 29 he should have been on fire straight away. his wages are also likely higher than ulloa as well.

Beechey Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 I really, really cannot see the sense in giving 30-year-old Ulloa (who frankly is painfully limited) a new contract, but selling Slimani, who in his first, difficult season got 11 goals and assists (in 23 games), whereas Ulloa has 23 goals and assists in 82 games in 3 seasons. Where is the logic here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have roughly the same pass rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that all our transfer targets were identified after Walsh left then? Walsh and his team of scouts, target and identify players months in advance, so Walsh as head of recruitment going into last summer, would have been instrumental in identifying and recommending most of the players we signed last summer. Slimani was someone we had been trying to sign while Pearson was still here! Personally i don`t think we have seen the best of Slimani, although he certainly wasn`t our worst player last season, and i think with a full pre season, and a bit more time with the rest of the squad, he may well be a real asset this season. The fact that we are seemingly giving Ulloa a new contract suggests to me that Slimani may well be moved on though. Personally i would sooner keep Slimani and offload Ulloa myself.

I believe he is stating that the players were scouted and recommended before Walsh left the club. Slimani was certainly rumoured to be a target for some time. In actual fact if our chief scout left tomorrow I'd really question his competence if our recruitment strategy fell apart within a few short weeks of him leaving.

ARM1968 Posted 12 July 2017 Share Posted 12 July 2017 I don't give a fuch whose signings they were. Mandy hasn't been able to prove anything due to injuries. Cabbage has had few opportunities. Musa looked good going down the middle but crap on the wing. Slimani, despite injuries, posted reasonable figures. Hernandez was poor. Zieler mediocre.
