Slimani

[ARM1968]

Full season uninjured and playing regularly he'd get 15-20 goals easily. Don't get the hate tbf.

Me either needs a good preseason and see how he goes .

[ARM1968]

I was just wondering if goals scored with the feet are somehow more valuable than those scored with the head?

What hate? 

[ARM1968]

Hates a weight that drags down fate mate. 

[ARM1968]

Hope you're not going to pick on me Col because I disagreed with you.

 

I'll do my best to ride the storm though. Bottoms up.

As far as I can see, most people are pro Slimani my friend?

I think it's a genuine question.

 

I ****ing hate (Ironic) this world where if you don't agree with something it's 'hate', it can't simply be a disagreement or an opinion, no, it's 'hate', whether it be religion, politics (Which again ironically i'm sick to the back teeth of hearing of but I keep mentioning both alot atm) right down to everyday life and a football player.

 

Some people don't rate Slimani, Some people do, I'm sure there is the odd person that does hate him for one reason or another, but i'm sure generally the people you're claiming that hate him simply just don't rate the bloke.

This...all day long.

People disagreeing with another's view, use the term 'hate' to make their own position stronger. They label you as a 'hater' to emphasise you are wrong.

Happens a lot on here.

Are headed goals worth less than goals from feet?

[Buzzell]

He still has a part to play. Keep him unless a ridiculous offer comes in.

Why bring Martin Keown  into this discussion?

[SheppyFox]

I'd like him to stay, we were shocking for most of the season, coupled with his unfortunate injuries and he still got us a few good goals

I genuinely don't understand why people rate him. He's just a foreign Ian Ormondroyd. Another Ulloa. He's got very little quality but is good in the air.

 

He's the sort of player who would be an asset to a struggling side if you can put loads of crosses onto his head. He's nowhere near good enough for a team aiming for Europe.

 

We can do much better.

Yeah I mean it's totally ****ing unfathomable that people think the player who offers the most goals, assists, chances created of all our strikers per minute actually has something to offer.

[ARM1968]

Hate was being used in its new guise as unwarranted criticism.  Perhaps it would have been better to say stupidity; as in it is stupidity to slag off Slimani when stats and history suggest he has already been an asset and will only become a more important asset in seasons to come.

Indeed, when criticism defies basic logic or facts it makes you wonder where exactly it's coming from.

[lgfualol]

Do you think we have even paid £28m, I presume a chunk of that fee was add-ons.

He's the missing link

No he's not. Way further down the evolutionary tree.

No. I was quoting an idiotic comment from an earlier page.

it was minus add ons, Sporting publicly releases all their financial statements, can't find it now but the reported fee in euros was accurate.

Wash your mouth out!!!

 

The only reason we didn't need to sign cantana was because we had Ian Ormondroyd.

[Ashley]

Honesty don't get the hate for him. Our fans are few and fair between in terms of player ability.. I mean come on some are happy with Andy King ffs

 

Slimani scored 9 in 19? Assisted around 7 in that too being injured for the majority of the season and going to AFCON? Imagine keeping him fit all season he's a 15-20 goal a season striker not to mention his assist. 

 

Keep for me.
