I'd rather we spent £20 million on back up for Vardy and gave slimani more of a chance paired up with Vardy Deeney is better than Slimani in the 2nd striker role. It's Deeney's natural position.

Ian Nacho Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 Why the fvck are people moaning about the fee were bidding for players? Is it your money? No. Vichai is minted for Christ sake, the geezer is probably having a bath in £50 notes this very minute. An extra £10m on a player, for Vichai is nothing.

EnglishOxide Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 In some ways the price for ageing stars ISN'T a bad thing. You tend to get them in their prime, and there's less chance of them leaving if they do well. Look at our Prem winning squad. If they were youngsters half of them would have left by now. We've got value out of all our players who were in their late twenties when we signed them so far. And we've kept them The only one who hasn't fully justified his price tag yet is Slim. If we can get Deeney 100% and firing I'm not bothered about price. It's only cos he was unmotivated last season that we are worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Ageing' equates to much reduced re-sale value. May be Rudders can insist upon a 'Give Back' Clause at a an agreed fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishOxide Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 Who cares about resale value if we aren't selling, or the players help achieve our targets? They end up paying for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne Fuchs Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 I feel like Deeney could make a good pundit, but I'm not sure I'd rate him as a Leicester player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretPro Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 Deeney v Okazaki = Deeney. He actually stays on his feet. Deeney v Ulloa = Deeney. He actually puts himself about, unlike that lumbering gazelle. Deeney v Slimani = Evens. I like Slimani, think he has been unfairly criticised given his stats, but I'm yet to see a good build up of link-up play with Vards, I'm not sure he can be a proper number 10 and I'm not sure to believe this 'give him a pre-season and he will be telepathically communicating with Vards' talk either. I think we can keep both, and when Vards form dips or we need to change things up we can use Slim as a number 9, you know, a target man? His job? Where's the problem? He's better than the majority of what we have, he's of good character and footballing intelligence, he has respect for the club already, he knows some of the players and staff, he has good work ethic on the pitch...

EG: shinji comes short to offer the midfielders an out ball and then brings the winder in tot he game - will deeney do that? Yet deeney will score more than Shinji I expect. I like Deeney... but he will not be the one to transform us... it's a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babylon Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 I have no doubts Deeney will be an upgrade on Shinji, who lets not forget is 32 before the season is out. The only issues around this for me are the age of our strike force, the long term squad building and the personal preference of thinking it's better practice to go for players with resale value. Okazaki 32 in April Vardy 31 in January Slimani 30 in June Deeney 30 in June Ulloa 31 in July They are all likely to need phasing out around the same time, which is not ideal. From a squad building perspective it's ok so long as we traded two out this summer and got another much younger player in. Pack the bags of Ulloa and Okazaki, bring in Deeney and Iheanacho and now we're talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 I'd like him here, but I just don't think it's worth paying £20-£25m for a 29 year old. For that kind of money I'd ideally like us to go for someone like Iheanacho, who's clearly got talent, but also has the potential to improve significantly. Just think that's too much for Deeney personally, nothing against him as a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitchandro Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 It just looks like we're desperate. Deeney is not the best we can do for that sort of money. It's not good value. Even if we sign two strikers we should be aiming much higher. This isn't the ambitious signing I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
