Why did Leicester city want to keep Ulloa over Slimani?

Ulloa or Slimani?

Keep Slimani and sell Ulloa for multiple reasons such as; Slimani cost 30 million and Ulloa cost 8 million so we would therefore make a smaller loss. Slimani is better than Ulloa. Slimani will score more goals than Ulloa. Ulloa wanted to leave in January.

They both have great qualities. I don't think we need to choose between the two. Although they both play a CF role, they are both very different. Ulloa seems to find better scoring positions than Slim, but Slim is better with ball at his feet. Ulloa wins more headers (defensively as well, useful for seeing out a game) but Slimani brings the ball down more effectively.

 

At the end of the day they are both going to be bit part players, as they don't really suit our style of play. A plan B if you like. If it's a more defenseive game, I would prefer Ulloa to be a good outlet and cover at the back from set pieced. If it's an attacking one, then I would prefer Slimani who can get the ball down but also provide the strength to hold up the ball.

 

If they're both happy to be ready to play their roles, then why isn't plausible to have both. They are both in a CF mould but are both V different in style of play.

I strongly disagree.

 

Slim is actually very good at finding goal scoring position and absolutely blows Ulloa out the water in this aspect. The problem is the finishing (when not on his head). You don't bring a striker to defend, rating a forward based on his defensive flicks on, is something some of the FT members should really, really smash out of their heads. Ulloa is past his best and won't make it to the bench this season, even more so if we sign that Nacho man. He's not even part of the plan Z. If Slim stays, he has to go.

Well fella we will have to agree to disagree. I know what I can see. ;)

Can't we keep both and convert Ulloa into a centre-back instead? He usually spends a lot of time in our box, anyway. :D

Just for the record, I think they both have something to offer, but I don't see them competing against each other, as they're two vastly different kettle of fish on the pitch.

would you tell me how will a player who "find better scoring position" to create less chance percentage, create less shoting amount, and less shotting accuracy?
Also, player who won more header got less aerial duel won?
and this is comparing title winning season of ulloa vs slimani last season. compare ulloa last season and slimani , then it will be much worse

what is nacho man?

btw I'm slightly disagree. especially for team like leicester, its okay to rate striker base on their defense as well attack. that's why we love okazaki.

If we sell silami and Mahrez the Algerians will either declare war or give thanks 

 

 

We will be Fuchsed if they (or any other undeveloped nation) declare war.... We don't even have enough soldiers to call our defence force an army. I'm surprised this doesnt concern the politicians enough to bring back conscription.

While I am sure that you jest, Leo is great at defending set pieces. Useful when defending a lead. Playing him as a CB is not completely ridiculous!

 

Slim is the better player, but seems to have no relationship with any team member other than Mahrez. His interplay is poor, and I cannot see him working in our post Mahrez form.

Does it really need explaining why slim stays and leo goes

I think it's obvious what we should do. Keep Leo and Slim and offload Vards and Kelechi.

Give the ball to Big Wes at every opportunity to simply launch the long ball to the 'target man'.

Play 4-4-2 and get the ball in to 'the big lad up front' as quick as possible. Imagine the 'goals with the head' we'd score.

The crisp passing, tippy tappy Prem wouldn't know what had hit em!

Yeah....the old fashioned British Way!

 

(Imagine how funny it would be if we did and actually had some success...the pundits wouldn't know what to say)

 

Get in! 

 

lol

well, what about bringing some fact like statistic? last time you were  saying something, which doesn't really happen on the pitch. now you were unable to response and just looking for another words without prove.

 

Leicester need a real player with a real quallity, not just an imaginary quality of player.

Are you in the know or did you pull that out of your magic hat? You should watch the matches for a change.

This is skewed due to use of per game stats. Better to use per 90 mins. Not necessarily sayings it's wrong, just exaggerated.

I am a season ticket holder and very rarely miss a home match. It is my own opinion based on what I see with my own eyes.

We are so greedy when it comes to stockpiling strikers, it's amazing lol

6 first team strikers, 3 of which are bloody good top 8 PL quality, 3 others high Championship level

at least 6 U23s strikers, I've lost count now, we're just buying up every single promising non league striker

Well most people here, including me, think that his link-up play is actually quite good, as well as his runs. his only real problem is his finish (with the feet). An opinion based on the games I've saw this season, which are all bar one or two. 

 

As for him being isolated in the dressing room is classifed under the category "baseless assumption". Unless you were in the dressing room. I read too much contradictory reports on that matter to take it seriously. What I do know though is that some people here really do not like him.

slimani because at 30 million he has got a point to prove

He's already proven a point. ... that 30m won't buy you quality.

Leo is a bit of a lump and has slowed down a bit (wasn't very quick to begin with). Was good, has had his time and will have to make do with bench warming and cameo's.

 

Slim is a tiny bit more mobile and doesn't seem to need quite so many chances to make something happen. Never a £30m player. but that's not his fault.

 

Neither brilliant, but Slim edges it.

what's the difference between per 90 mins and per match? I'm not that familiar with statistic. please explain to me :)

interesting. so aside from economic reason, he got skill as well. how did his link up play and run were better than slim?

As soon as I seen Slimani had played 300 more minutes and 6 less games I didn't bother reading the rest when the metric was per game as it was obviously biased in favour of Slimani.

so, its purely economic reason? 

 

Yes.

 

I think most people would agree Slimani>Ulloa but considering neither will make the first XI when everyone is fit you have to consider the financial aspect. If we got a £25m+ offer for Slimani I think the sensible thing to do is sell and keep Ulloa as that big target man when we use that option.
