Stevosevic Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 If we get him going it could be good, apparently friendly with a few of the players and staff at the club so maybe he'll buy into what we're all about. Wouldn't be my first choice but it could work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinekersApples Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Fat legs can be toned up. Its much harder to teach instinct, aggression and how to hit the back of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincinnati Fox Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Watford fans suggesting a swap for slim, who played for Silva at Sporting. hope not as I think slim will come good this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Having seen Slimani last season I don't think Deeney would suit us at all. Like Slimani he's more of a target man than anything else and whilst I rate him to an extent I can't see him being particularly creative or prolific. And if you don't tick either of those boxes it's a no from me. Too average for the heights we need to be aiming for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree, I'd compare how he played there to how we did around January/February - it needed a change for things to come good again. I'd look for someone younger, but I do think he'd be a good fit and I'd not be disappointed if we did sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 His partnership with Ighalo showed his true potential at the time; however, after that he has appeared inconsistent and indecisive at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwin Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 One of those signings that you just know would fit right in immediately. While I like Slimani, I think the fans will turn on him pretty quickly if he doesn't step it up this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ttfn Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 4 minutes ago, Dan LCFC said: He's got a far better allround game than Slimani has. Probably true but I quite like the idea of us having a striker who gobbles up most headed chances, especially as we seem likely to lose Mahrez and his through balls. With Deeney you also have to stomach (pardon the pun) the 5 games at the start of each season where he looks like he's eaten his strike partner. If a swap is in the offing (and they never are in reality) we'd definitely be losing the better player overall, simply on the basis of Slimani's ability in the penalty area. He just might not be the better player for us. I mean, can you imagine Deeney ever scoring 30 goals in the Portuguese league? No chance. But I suspect he'd be a better partner for Vardy.
