SkidsFox Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 We've bought Iborra, Nacho and Maguire. So losing Slim, ok, but hopefully we have someone lined up if DD and Mahrez go.
mozartfox Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 If we sign Dros Townsend for 27m and let Slim go at a big loss, then hopefully Vichai and Top will hold a stewards on Rudkin and the Scouting/Recruitment set-up.

Drinkwater sold for 40 Million Slimani sold for £25-30 Million We have NOT actually spent any money have we. Incoming Iheanacho £25m Maguire £16m Iborra £12m Total £53m Outgoing Drinkwater £35m Slimani £25m Lawrence £7m Total £67m If we sign Townsend then that means either Gray or Mahrez are off - maybe both.
Ian Nacho Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 Ludicrous that Monaco are considering to replace the most sort after player in the world with Slimani It would be excellent business though if we manage to make a profit out of Slimani though because in my eyes he's worth no more than £10m. I honestly think Steve Howard would do better in the premier league with his presence.

Or Musa, if he goes we only have three wingers, one of whom has a transfer request in. Personally think it's quite prudent to plan ahead.

Well maybe I did over exaggerate on that figure but what my point is that you can get players who are much better than Slimani for that price.
SecretPro Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 Some ridiculous views on Slimani around here. Never understood it.
Devonfox1884 Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 I'd much rather keep Slim and get rid of Leo, BUT... The way we play does not require a target man, we only use one as a plan B or to close out the last 20 mins of games when we're winning. While Slim is evidently more efficient than Ulloa, if we can fleece Monaco of £25m and make most of our money back on Slim, it would be great from a business point of view as we'll retain our plan B (even if it is Ulloa) at a low cost to the club. What I don't understand is that we don't need the money, so am struggling to see why we'd keep Leo over Slim to make a bit of money back... I can see the thinking behind it, but I'm not sure it's the right thing to do.
adamlcfcbevo85 Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 I like the bloke don't want him to leave I believe if we started him with vardy it would so much better than vardy okazaki I'm sure when silimani starts his goal to game ratio is very impressive, just looks miserable all the time even when he scores hahahaa

He's not, neither are they. Again I go back to this outrageous 'market' though (I sound like Shaun bleedin' Dyche). If we were buying him I certainly wouldn't want to be spending much more than £10m on him, unfortunately we did, alot more. At the time of us buying him I admit I hadn't done much research on him or watched him that much to have that opinion on him, that and the fact you hadn't got much of a yard stick over how he'd do in England, it's the gamble you take though I suppose. Then again i'm simply a fan, it's not my job to scout/negotiate/buy and I can't effect any of those things anyway - That doesn't mean I can't be annoyed or have an opinion (positive or negative) on it all though. I keep banging on about Sigurdsson and I appologise for it but £30m for Slimani and people are happy with that but according to alot of people £15m extra for Sigurdsson is too much and he's massively overpriced...i'm sorry, that simply doesn't make sense
mozartfox Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 I keep reading Slim does not fit in with our style of play. So WTF was our scouting Team and DoF shelling out a Club record fee for part that does not fit the machine? How is it no one has been taken to task over this? Or was it CR's choice alone?

Can only assume we thought we were getting him and silva for an agreed sum and SCP mugged us off once the slim deal was done. Mind you Claudio clearly didn't have time for Leo so wanted a big man for plan B.

Did we overpay at at the time, yes somewhat. But Strikers who can bag 10 a season in the prem go for £20m+ now, and in my mind there is no doubt he can do that starting for someone every game. Sig would cost us far more than £15m extra because of the wages. A 4 year contract on 125k a week and you are looking at a total package of at least £71m. Thats a ludicrous amount of money on one signing and would have been seen as too much of a reason risk, especially considering his age and no resale value.

I think it was also said Walsh had identified him as a target but wasn't keen on the price, I think Walsh rated him as a £10 - £15m player which is what he is.

Didn't we sign Ulloa in 2014 for £8m who scored 11 goals in his first season? Admittedly he's not hit those hights again but he's not really been given the opportunites and rightly so, we've got better players to start nowadays, the point remains though, especially given our previous 'bargain' buys, this (Slimani deal) was out of the ordinary and it's not worked/working. You make very valid points regards Sigurdsson's wages but regards the risk which i've already discussed (He was unproven - There was no yard stick to compare him with - which we've signed unproven players in the past with no yardstick expect they didn't cost £30m). Age, isn't Slimani older? Resale value, I can't see us getting anything near what we paid for him back. Besides i'm not saying Slimani is on anything like £125k a week but we don't know how much he is on, i've not even seen any estimates, I'd hazard a guess he's nearer the higher earner's than the lower earner's at the club though.

There is nothing to suggest what price Walsh rated him as. It was just said he wasn't keen at that price.
