Freeman's Wharfer Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 If we can get back what we paid I'd sell every time. He's scored a few but his injury record is questionable and he's short of a yard of pace for The Prem. £20m head but £3m feet unfortunately.

Bang him in another Premier team, give him some games, one that is willing to play to his strengths, instead of only playing one way to suit their other striker, and he will get 20 goals a season in my opinion.

Possibly so. But we're not that team and aren't going to be any time soon so it makes most sense to sell if we can get our money back?

But surely if Slim goes we won't get anyone in to replace him. Ulloa is the Plan B. He's happy to play back-up whereas Slim isn't.

Selling Slimani and keeping Ulloa as a Plan B is not doing it.

Seems like it's more a case of keeping the squad harmonious than actually keeping hold of the better player. Slim is by far the better player. I really hope he stays but it seems unlikely. If Shakey really believed that Ulloa was worth his place in the squad then surely he would've been on the bench yesterday instead of Slim, especially after just signing a new contract.
SportsNut1908 Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 Jovetic to have medical & sign for Monaco today. Not sure they'll spend more on strikers. Didn't look like they needed too after watching them last night.
Koke Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 Big provocative headline but not much detai in it as you'd expect. Leicester facing exodus as Riyad Mahrez, Danny Drinkwater and Islam Slimani edge towards exit. https://www.google.dk/amp/www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/08/27/leicester-facing-exodus-asriyad-mahrez-danny-drinkwater-islam/amp/

To let 3 players leave with either no or with inferior replacements coming in, smacks of negligence and asking for trouble. The next days will say a lot about our Owners ambitions' for LCFC.

Despite Jovetic's signature, Slim is waited to complete their squad.
Finn Claw II Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 Gray should replace Mahrez, I'd like Chillwell to get more minutes also. i have a feeling Ulloa is Slim's replacement. i can see all three going and a CB and CM coming in.

I think I could do that even with my broken hip. I bet his dad only faced 1penalty every five years. Unlike the opposition keepers facing one every game and 20mins extra time.

City1884 Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 I think some of our fans are going to be disappointed in the near future. It seems that the fans that are saying "sell Slimani" are also the ones considering replacements for him........... There isn't going to be a replacement for him. It was a choice between Ulloa and Slimani, the difference being Ulloa is (slightly) happier to rotate in the squad (as long as he sees that it does rotate), and Slimani being worth more in the transfer market. We're not going to go through the season with 5 first team strikers, so don't expect anyone to come in when Slimani goes. (And with Ulloa signing a new contract, Slimani will go assuming there is a suitable offer). Personally, I would have preferred to keep Slimani over Ulloa, but Slim wouldn't have been happy. It's been an awkward situation.

foxtillidrop Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 He is away with the Algerian squad so how likely is it that a transfer can be processed in 3 working days when the player is abroad?

Babylon Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 Rather than looking at Ulloa taking Slims place, I think it's better to look at it like Iheanacho is the replacement.
HighPeakFox Posted 28 August 2017 Posted 28 August 2017 Just now, Babylon said: Rather than looking at Ulloa taking Slims place, I think it's better to look at it like Iheanacho is the replacement. Is it wrong that I keep finding myself agreeing with you?
