Hanan96 Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 I'm getting confused at them. Its looks clear that Ulloa got nothing much to offer compared than Slimani last season, even during shakespare reign, Ulloa never played single game while Slimani were avaiable. When Slimani weren't injured, Slimani will be always the choosen one,either on bench or pitch. last season slimani got amazing goal per minute ratio. and more, while he play much less than ulloa best season in 2015/2016, his goal record were close (7vs10) To made it worse, while ranieri would have ulloa and slimani on the bench, shakespare will exclude ulloa from the bench when slimani is there in pre season, as we can see, slimani is better player, faster, chasing opposition player better, While ulloa seems unable to do anything. I wonder why would leicester city sell slimani rather than offload ulloa. moreover, if Ihenacho signed in, they will have vardy, okazaki, ihenacho, and musa. enough to get rid both player.
brucey Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Keep in mind this is all rumours at the moment, could very well be that we have no intention of selling slim. Even if we did initially, I suspect the preseason games so far will have gone some way towards changing minds.
goose2010 Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Hi Islam mate, dont worry about it, keep fighting for your place and i am sure Big Craig will see the light and pick you ahead of Ulloa.
WigstonWanderer Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 First of all, one of them has to go. Secondly, Slim is demonstrably the more effective player. Leo's been great for us but doesn't seem to be the player he was. Probably best for him as well as the club to go. The only thing that concerns me with Slim is whether he gets on OK with the other players, particularly Vardy.

He might be good player back then, but he's declined. he's getting older. when he plays, he almost done nothing. in attack, he doesnt offer much, in defence, slimani chase ball much better Ulloa's season is 2 years back, no more..
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 this is like sophie's choice all over again
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Leo is happy to be on the bench and play a part as well as being a good part of the group. Always puts himself about when he comes on and makes a nuisance of himself and runs himself into the ground wherever he plays. Slimani, on the other hand, wanders around the pitch like an oaf without any sort of understanding of the role he has behind Vardy. Will readily berate his teammates when things aren't going his way and seems a complete nobhead.

TAFKA Castroneves Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 It's more a case of a lot of us were expecting Leo and Islam to be competing for the same space in the team... and a striker of Slimani's pedigree probably wouldn't be happy with not being a starter striker (after his history of being one of the best strikers in the Portugese league), with Vardy and hopefully Kelechi up front that really puts one of Leo/Islam and Shinji on the bench. Leo's always done us a job (although yes, again this pre season he hasn't looked anywhere near what he can do - perhaps the decline is very real now) and been alright with coming in and doing his job - i personally could not see Slimani being happy to be a backup striker in a mid-table Prem side, that as an option does not seem realistic to me at all - it also seems a very expensive backup which is a luxury we can't afford to have if we want to make a better side overall, our resources can't be thrown around in the same way as a Man City - getting 20-30 million for Slim (which we could then reinvest) rather than say 5-10 for Ulloa However now we've actually got into pre season Slim's been looking more like he could be pushing for that starting spot, so that's good news - he's looking better, he's looking like he can force his way into the starting 11 finally after an injury blighted first season. If that's the case its a no-contest. However again if you gave me the option to sell Slimani - and bring in say Markovic, Ziyech or Boudebouz - i'd sell Slimani and stick with Ulloa, my personal view so not everyone's gonna agree.
GaelicFox Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 If we sell silami and Mahrez the Algerians will either declare war or give thanks
sylofox Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Going to be hard to ship Leo out after his new contract.

We don't need to sell anyone to raise money to buy though - even including Kelechi, all our signings so far have barely used up the CL money, we've not even touched the PL money yet...

This is true, depends how much they actually want to spend though it's more of a case man of IF we were in the situation where that was what was holding us back from getting some more options elsewhere - then i'd sell for the benefit of the rest of the team - we've all been saying how if Mahrez goes we are screwed as we've got no-one else who can create chances, this is so more important to us as a team than keeping Slimani
Lovejoy Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Ulloa is w*nk. Genuinely staggered he has a new contract, can only assume he has dirt on someone.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Tricky one but I went for Slim as he's the vastly superior player

Depends how much he is in on - we will be able to demand more now if he really has signed an extension. He wants to play. If a prem club come in for him I doubt they won't pay him the same as we are and he will leave for regular first team football - it's possible that for once the club have done the right thing although I suspect this is more about slim only wanting to stay as a starter and Leo being our hold up option off the bench
HankMarvin Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Is there any proof he has singed a new deal yet ?> If he has been offered one the only logical explanation is it is as a thanks for the title winning season
Foxxed Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 The vote result is reassuring. The vocal minority is a minority. I mean, if you love impressive neck veins and like your strikers looking friendly rather than sulky and menacing then I can understand preferring Ulloa, but you'd need to have snorted an alpine valley's worth of ketamine to prefer Ulloa in terms of footballing ability.
Jaspa Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Dont know why theyre doing it, its all obviously internal and professional decisions are being made for whatever reason. It'd be nice if Ulloa came out and apologised or at leaast explained to the fans what he meant when he was stood outside the ground in late January speaking to TV crews along the lines of he would never play for the club again, a cheap and disrespectful action from him but has been his only wrong move at the Club. Not that he deserves toxicity on the match threads in here ect. he helped establish us in the League and himself, popping in with crucial and a legendary goal against Norwich. Just want an official explanation
Gerard Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 I think Slimani is more effective. I still think Leo can be effective but we have no need to keep both of them as they do a similar job. If/when Iheanacho comes then there is little doubt the Nigerian and Vardy will be first choice. If we got a good offer for Slimani I'd be quite happy to cash in on him and keep Ulloa and bank the money looking for the next striker a year later.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Slimani had a pretty decent return for his first season, don't understand the writing off of him. If we do sign Kelechi though, I think his departure will solely be on him not wanting to be a bench warmer. Whereas Ulloa is self aware enough to know he's quite shite and being a bench warmer at our club is probably the highest he can reach
Samilktray Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Slimani because Ulloa isn't very good at football anymore.
lgfualol Posted 27 July 2017 Posted 27 July 2017 Slim ofc. I get the point about Ulloa being happy to sit on the bench. However I would be unhappy with that fat donkey getting a new contract and sitting on the bench not offering any competition for 2 years. Would much prefer someone like Slim, that will give Vardy and Iheanacho if he signs a challenge.
