Keepiminn Unfortunately one "flick on" won't change the opinions of those who don't rate him. Whilst facing goal, I think with his head he is amazing at times, with his back to goal he is dreadful. I do want to keep Slimani providing we can keep him happy, as I'd imagine he may drop down the pecking order with the impending signing of Iheanaco.

We did okay a couple of years a go with just Vardy, Ulloa and Okazaki to pick from if you recall? It's a given that Iheanacho will be at the very least competent. He is the most prolific striker in PL history by minutes played and has come from one of the biggest clubs in the world, we haven't dragged him from a Nigerian regional league. It's obvious the plan is to go with Iheanacho and Vardy. I think it's good business if we can cash in on Slimani and let Ulloa cover his role and that money saved can be used more effectively.

Well for me Okazaki and Ulloa would be adequate as 3rd and 4th choice. Keep our tinder dry for another season and then look to bring in that next striker to compliment Vardy and Iheanacho.

notnow john Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 If anyone offers 25m yes take it but can't see it. The choice is between, Leo, who is painfully slow and Slim who is just slow. we don't need them both but you can't seriously choose Leo over Slim. He asks far more questions of a defence even if it's a tactical change from the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate Slimani higher than Ulloa but we overpaid and if we can get anything like our money back then I would sell Slimani. I think it would be good business for us to move him on for a smallish loss and have Ulloa to cover him and I think this is the club's thinking as well which is why Ulloa got a new contract. I'm sure Shaky and Co will think the ideal scenario will be to get a large chunk of our money back on Slimani and replace him with Ulloa. We'll then probably sell Ulloa a year down the line to a Championship club as strikers like him hold their value and are sought after at Championship level.

Ulloa has got a decent record at PL level and Okazaki was preferred over Slimani by Shaky. Despite Okazaki not contributing much in assists or goals since he came here he is something of an enigma, we always seem to play better with him in the side despite his lack of a tangible contribution.

Sly Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 For all those wanting Slimani gone as he’s a £30m signing ..... WTF?!? If we need a goal in a game, bringing Slim on, at least inspires some sort of confidence. Play to his strengths and he is a lethal striker. We have players who are capable of feeding him. #FeedSlimani! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slim is third choice striker that means he covers Vardy's position as well as the 10 position. You might say it's selective, but quite frankly if Vardy gets injured or suspended I do no want be relying on Ulloa recreating form from 3 years ago or Okazaki to find his scoring boots. I don't care what he cost, the deed is done. He's shown he can bag in this league, and I think he'd score 15 goals + with a full season out of him. 15 goal a season strikers now cost you £25-£30m from our division. If we were to rely on the other two at any point we're going to be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 if we can get 10+ goals out of iheanacho, slimani and vardy we'll be laughing, how many other teams in the prem have such a strike force? only the top top teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a season where we will mostly be playing once a week we don't need five out and out strikers. Three of the cover strikers will be about 30 years old as well on average. Somebody needs to go.

I'm excited by him, but getting a few minutes here and there isn't proven. He's got an excellent record off the bench, but that's quite different from starting games. We've seen with Gray he's capable of making an impact coming on against tired defenders, yet when he starts he looks nowhere near as threatening.

I'll rephrase... inexperienced kid who has only started 12 games premier league games in the last 2 year. No matter how promising he might, that's still unproven and thus should sstill put a question mark next to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
