Vardinio'sCat Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 I would accept a swap for Deeney, but otherwise Slim has goals in him at this level, and he deserves a decent chance when circumstances allow. He would have loved a go at that dodgy Arsenal back 4 on Saturday, even if only for half an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 16 August 2017 Share Posted 16 August 2017 In Vardy, Slimani, and Iheanacho we have three strikers that are capable of getting into double figures in a premier league season. We're one of the few sides in the league that can boast that. It's probably the best thing about our squad. We should definitely keep Slimani.

cityfanlee23 Posted 17 August 2017 Share Posted 17 August 2017 Slimani will score goals but unless we play to his style what the hell Is the point? We only have 1 winger who bothers to cross the ball, Mahrez and Gray just cut in 9/10 Might aswell cash in if we are just going to **** around. Sell him and ulloa, might aswell get Steve howard back out of retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 17 August 2017 Share Posted 17 August 2017 I'm lost at the people who would swap fat Deeney for Slimani. We don't want Deeney now. If we get rid of Slim, it's gotta be for decent money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 17 August 2017 Share Posted 17 August 2017 16 hours ago, Steve Earle said: My recollection, which might be wrong, is that the fee could rise to a potential €30M. I've no idea what we've paid so far but I'd be surprised if it's more than €25M... He may not have cost us that much so far as generally Fees are spread over the length of the contract. So he's probably cost us around 10 million so far. If we can move him on then we save the rest of his Fee and cut our losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dormelcfc Posted 17 August 2017 Share Posted 17 August 2017 I think it would be ridiculous selling Slimani to anyone, especially to a Premier League rival, this late in the window. He has some serious attributes that we can profit from it's just we have not been playing to them. I'm not the first to say it and certainly won't be the last but a decent cross into the box and he will most of the time stick it in the back of the net. Judging by the evidence against Arsenal, crossing is a crucial part of our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed plus he has never really had a proper run of games to see what he is actually capable of, the amount of balls we swing in to the the box its crying out for someone to attack them. Vardy, Nacho, Slim and Okazaki should be enough for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my figure of 10 Mil is wrong. I was thinking of Slimani when I wrote it. For Musa it's more like 4 to 5 mil to date including Salary. if we can move him on then we still save a lot of money and just move on to the next target.

Yes, But we recover the sell on Fee to offset our outlay. Sometimes for more in which case we make a profit. on occasions for less in which we make a small loss. The object is always to make a profit and keep ahead in the Market. But sometimes you just have to accept a loss to move players on. In our case we've made quite a few decent profit's and so are doing ok. Which means our transfer Pool grows and so we can target better players.

Guest Posted 17 August 2017 Share Posted 17 August 2017 Yeah HITC bin them. Nigerian press bin them. Algerian Press bin them. We would be crazy to sell him and if it was to Watford I'd believe that Rudkin was trying to sink us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 17 August 2017 Share Posted 17 August 2017 He scored goals when looking half fit in a side that was out of form. Yes his first touch isn't as good as you'd like but he is decent. I'd want my money back if we sold him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted 17 August 2017 Author Share Posted 17 August 2017 Current understanding is that he's unlikely to leave but not that happy about being 4th choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a nice situation for us to be in, to have a striker that good as 4th choice. I still think it's Vardy +1 for me. The other 3 top picks really have different qualities, and it's nice to see Shinji back to his best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked to me like Slim was ahead of him pre season and I think he will still end up so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
