fuchsntf Posted 15 August 2017 Share Posted 15 August 2017 If I really did have something to say... From Saturday my 1st choice front 2...Vardy-Slimani. 1st choice sub, for one of them...Nacho.with him taking over Slim if Slim finds no form. Shinji though scoring last game, would start on the bench in the next 5 PL games. If Leicester have an above avg.season I see both injury free Slimani, and Nacho scoring a good ratio of goals, alongside Vardy.... Whatever however we set up, players, Club, and manager always have a 6-9 game carte blanche, before I start making hard comments or criticism. Better still ...before I start yodelling how great we are.. Slimani starts with no negative baggage from me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 I've been critical of him and rightly so imo but I think we should give him another chance. The quality of Albrighton's deliveries will give him the perfect opportunity to show his worth and then if he doesn't we'll have a decision to make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know, he's going to flop. For now the second top scorer is Slim and until Ihenacho outscores Slim, he is still the 3rd or 4th choice. I do hope he is successful for the club, but for now he is unproven. I agree. Let's see what he is like in a months time with fitness and a bit more settled here before we assume he's going to be competing for the Ballon D'or!

Callabinho Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Kalechi is still an unknown, cameo apperences as Man City isn't a true reflection on what he can do. But Slimani won't want to be sat on the bench....he's far to good for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Interesting that the PL club with a Portuguese manager is apparently interested in slim. on the evidence of Saturday, Watford are not going to be bothered about the pretty pretty approach and will stick the ball in the box and slim would likely thrive off that kind of approach over here. If we are serious about winning a cup this year we should keep him. Then we can have a proper forward line for both the PL games around the cup game and the cup game itself. otherwise it will be leo for the cup games and he just isn't up to it re finishing as pre season reminded us.

Col city fan Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 19 minutes ago, foxes21 said: slimani is our 4th choice striker That's true imo, as I don't think Shakey rates him particularly highly. Vardy, Shinji, Nacho, Slim. It's hard to believe how much money the club look to have wasted on Slimani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 As always the price is key here. I'm happy for us to get the majority of our money back here if we can. Slimani is 29 and is never going to replace Vardy as our No9 and just isn't suited to playing No10. I'm happy to cash in on a player who we spent £30m on who is in the latter stage of his career and will never be considered first choice. If Watford think they can get him for less than £20m they should be treated with the disdain Roma have but anything £20m-£25m should be consider and £25m+ I'll drive him myself.

Then again, it's not the first time im struggling to understand him. Bit of both. Vardy is number one and a starter without question. Imo, there is no real order for the second striker which will be chosen depending on the form and the team we will face. To the contrary of what some might think here I highly doubt Shakey doesn't rate Slim. Really? Genuine question. I always thought I made my points pretty clear and tried to not let my own biases cloud (too much) my judgement. Must work harder on it then.

WigstonWanderer Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Shouldn't we just be think of Slim as a different type of option? If Vardy and/or Nacho are struggling, he offers a different kind of threat. Okazaki is different again and has shown his use to provide extra midfield support, particularly against top teams. Personally I'd like to keep these 4 as I think they all offer something different. Unfortunately I'm not sure Slim will be happy with a part-time role. Leo's done some good work for us, but time to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 He's had one season in the Premier League, we should give him another chance this season. Remember how rubbish Vardy was in his first season at a higher level in the Championship? If they offer £30m so we recoup everything I'd take it. But anything less give him another year he's worth the risk and just might bang in 18 league goals and be worth a lot more this time next year.

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Keep him!!! Vardy & Kelechi are gonna be the starters yes. But bringing both Slim n Okazaki on in the 60/70th minute with there constant chasing down, whilst defenders are knackered from Vards will create so many chances for us at the end of a game.

Because he is a bit of a dick ? I saw him once in a hotel in Algeria and I heard a guy say to his friend "isn't that Slimani?" And his friend replied "who cares he's crap" ? Don't get me wrong, I like slim as a player. I think he's hardworking. Outside of the pitch he has a bit of a big head, but I don't idiolize him as a person, I just like him as a player. I don't care what he does outside of the pitch, it's his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Club have denied any link - we've just brought 2 strikers for a combined total of near 30 million so not sure why we'd get another at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
