Jaspa Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Its his birthday today oddly. Scored 28 goals in two seasons in the Premier League in an up and down side. You can't imagine us having Vardy, Slimani and Deeney as it seems too much and you'd have to think Slim would be off. What I can imagine though is Deeney working well here especially with Vards, he'd add balance and if motivated can be a fantastic player. Not still worth 30mil though, have a nosey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyFox Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Someone is punting 5/4 from 12/1 with Bet Victor in the last few hours. Personally think that ships sailed and Silva would keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthefox Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Still only 28 as well. I'm not sure if that's a Nigerian 28 (aka 39) or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinterdream Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 If our coaches can get him back to his best he'd be an awesome signing, he has more pace than slim so I think will suit our style more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vindaloo FOX Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 if Deeney sorts out his fitness it's a yes from me but i really do feel Slim will smash it next season for us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 Him and Vardy would work but I also think Slimani and Vardy will. If Deeney comes in then I'd like another younger finisher and Musa and Ulloa/Okazaki and Slimani gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livid Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 It's a no for me. What and where do we aspire to be as a club ? Signing Deeney would say to me we don't aspire to much more than safe mid table. If it came down to deadline day and Rudkin hadn't worked his magic I would grudgingly accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raw Dykes Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 I think we should be aiming higher, but I'm sure he'd be an improvement over Slimani. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzell Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 He'd be decent if kept fit and healthy but knowing Watford they would want ridiculous money for him. £15m-£20m would be a more realistic fee rather than the £30m+ they were asking for him before.

Dan LCFC Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 58 minutes ago, ttfn said: 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. Deeney and Slimani are different players. Deeney is more of a supporting striker. Slimani never has been that. Nor has Vardy and that is why I think they've often struggled together.

The issue we have with him, he isn't the supporting striker he's also a number, with a run in the side he'd get 15 goals in the league i'm sure of it. But he won't get that as Vards is the main man up there and I guess rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanity Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 He is a clear upgrade over Shinji. We can still play Slim plenty. One of the two starts, the other finishes, considering how demanding the secondary striker role is in the offense.This would be a no-brainer to me, he is an absolutely terrific fit that the staff has targeted repeatedly to replace Shinji over the years.
