Yeap, this season has to be domestic cup season for us, unencumbered by bladdy European comps for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4everfox Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 Really don't want to sell Slimani. He's unstoppable in the air even when he is not at his best (look at last season). If Slimani plays week in week out he's a 20 goal a season striker. If we have to ship out a striker to make way for Iheanacho then I'd prefer it was Ulloa out of what we currently have. He wanted to go in January anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 1 hour ago, Gerard said: Selective stats. 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. Come on Gerard. Slim is a better threat than the other 2 put together. And the idea that you sell the better player is a bit ludicrous don't you think?

Hopefully Vardy gets something like 15/20 league goals and we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 1 hour ago, Gerard said: If we sold Slimani a Vardy injury would probably mean Okazaki as No10 and Iheanacho as No9. 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. Yes the worst players. those who can't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 You want your head tested if you think we should be selling Slimani to keep Ulloa as cover. If you have too many strikers you sell the one you need the least. That's Leo, by a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice problem to have. E. Backed up by Okazaki who will always give you endeavour. They're the 4 strikers I'd like to have this season.
