Max Power Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 Glad he's not gone to Sporting. Sure we've got another couple million loan fee and hes off the books for a season and can see him scoring a fair few for them and him signing in the summer.

HankMarvin Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 must go down as the worst signing in the clubs history, for what we paid for him and what we will end up getting back. Not saying his the worst player, but the financial outlay and wages and the games played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 Rather keep him tbh. Never given a proper chance here. Had the best goals to minute ratio at the club when he was given a chance. The vardy problem strikes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to be 30 something next summer so what value could he have ... i doubt we will get both a decent loan fee and them also covering most of his wages .... the turkish lira is even more of a basket case than the pound !! EDIT: apparently 2.5m and all his wages so a pretty crap loan fee but good to get 4m in wages off the books for a year Edited 9 August 2018 by st albans fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best of the rest of our strikers may as well keep him. Doesn't seem like he wants to be here though which could be destructive. Plus if we can't sell him for a decent amount we can at least recoup some money in loan fees and gets his wages off the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsintskaro Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 I am sure he will do fine in Turkey so hopefully they throw money to buy him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechey Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 Let's be honest, we're going to end up selling him for like £10m after 3 seasons here or on loan. I could accept a £6m/year loss in him considering how important he was for the CL run and in some PL games (fairly sure his goals alone got us like an extra 9 points or so). Just not worked out for him here and he won't get a look in with Kelechi stepping it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 I said before I can’t think of a worse signing, money wise, than Slimani. Not far off 30 mill, with wages and I bet any side he goes on loan to will only pay a percentage of his salary. What an incredible waste of money...

Gerard Posted 9 August 2018 Share Posted 9 August 2018 I wonder if the Fenerbache link was an attempt to flush out a PL buyer? Slimani linked with a Saudi club as well so unless that's hit a brick wall we don't want to be too hasty loaning him out when there could be potential buyers.

Agree unless the loan has an obligatory purchase clause, but unlikely I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
