I agree. The rumors are a bit out of place, Watford is loaded with strikers at the moment, unless Deeney is for sale, I don't think they should sign Slimani.

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 Yes, as a person I can see he isn't the best dude. But I heard at least from some of my fellow Sporting fans, that he is a good dude and doesn't reject photos or autographs. Maybe you guys caught him having a bad day .

4everfox Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Imagine a scenario where we sell Mahrez without a replacement and Vardy gets injured. Schmeichel Morgan Maguire Huth Albrighton James N'Didi Fuchs Iheanacho Okazaki Slimani That there is a potentially devastatingly effective unit, with Albrighton and Fuchs whipping in crosses every 5 minutes Slimani would score a shed load of goals and we wouldn't even feel the effects of Mahrez and Vardy's absence. Slimani must stay in my opinion because as somebody mentioned, he gives us the ability to integrate a plan B if we need to and also to use as a very decent option to cover injuries and suspensions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who do we drop to let him have a run? The prem is a league where you have to make your game tine count It really isn't, especially with us. Once you've established yourself as someone the manager likes then you're basically in until you get injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Sorry... too late in the window to be selling anyone half decent. Get rid of the dross by all means, but if we ended up losing Slim, DD and Mahrez now I'd seriously fear for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be shit at defending corners (very important for a striker on FT) but when it comes to headers in the opponents box, he's the bully.

4everfox Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 3 hours ago, F1_AN said: As long as no defender challenges him for the cross... What are you talking about? He scored 7 in 23 for us last season when he was in a transition period after switching leagues, this had an obvious effect on his football and he still scored more than Okazaki does at his best. The best Slimani would score 15-20 goals at this level I reckon. Why let a league rival benefit from Slimani after we transitioned him into English football on the cheap? It would definitely be at a loss just a season after signing, may as well just start buying players for Watford if we're going down that route.

Gazza M Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 Slimani is going nowhere. He will be vital to us this year up top with Vardy, Shinji and Kelichi. The strikers we can afford to lose are Ulloa and Musa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the fox Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 If vardy and kelechi work together great than I don't mind the club selling him but, if vardy gets injured, the only one that can lead the line is ulloa *shudders* Would much rather have slim as a cover for vardy and shinji/new CAM as cover for kelechi.

If vardy gets injured then slim and nacho as the 2strkers could be some fire power there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Imagine how poor Silmani would look playing left wing under Nigel Pearson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
