Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 5 minutes ago, Gamble92 said: Or maybe i just realise the massive shift in attitude towards a player that isn't white British compared to the likes of Slimani, Okazaki, Inneacho, Musa etc Look at tonight. We have had some outright shit performances from so many players tonight and yet again we have Inneacho (who had 0 service) top of the thread list with a pile of shit being spouted about him. Not sure I agree, Shinji is much loved at Leicester but is probably past his best, Nacho and Musa have been incredibly disappointing and I personally quite liked Slim, nothing to do with the colour of their skin in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's at least worth a try, because outside of Vardy, nobody else is offering anything up front, especially when we have the majority of possession. As much as I agree, did/does Slimani offer anything up front? Maybe apart from a slightly stockier frame that may or may not intimidate Premier League quality defenders? And given that Turkish sides don't really make waves in European football, I'm not holding much hope. New personnel is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all need binning apart from Vardy, we need to dump Slimani, Okazaki and Iheanacho. I remember when we were first linked with Iheanacho I couldn't believe it but in hindsight top clubs never sell their top young players unless they think they're selling you a pup. Iheanacho is a very good finisher but I'm wary of strikers who don't have something else to their game. Iheanacho isn't particularly quick, skilful or great in the air. He doesn't offer much to a team unless he's getting chances and putting them away. I normally give young players with great pedigree every chance, I give Schlupp every opportunity as he had some great assets that could have made him a top player but as the years go by and they don't develop you have to say enough is enough and try and salvage a transfer fee whilst their stock is still relatively high.

smr Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 ****ing shit, how on earth he is making a living as a footballer has got to be the biggest comedy sketch of this century. I don't think I have ever seriously, and I'm not taking the piss here, thought that we'd actually be better off without a man on the pitch than with him. Ridiculous. I wouldn't be so pissed off if he had no talent but at least tried. But he doesn't even do that. Clown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, at the signing session a couple of months back, he was the only one there who just didn't seem like he wanted to be there, about as much passion as an Eskimo given a cool box for Christmas. It's not about racism, his attitude sucks. Other 'minority' players have bad games and we don't get on their back as much because they show effort, passion and desire. He shows nothing. Thus all the abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LestaAl Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 His attitude on the pitch suggests he is not bothered or can’t do what he is being asked to. ...either way he needs to be off loaded at some point and it’s probably best if he goes nowhere near a first team game.

It's great praising players for doing well. But 41 pages on a player whos 21 and just hasn't played in a team thats given him much service? It's a ****ing joke. I'll get alot of shit for being the one to point it out but i dont care. It's subtle but its definetely racist. Well you should care and you should get a ban, never mind a 'load of shit'. You have just accused a load of people you don't know of racism based on absolutely nothing. except for debating the woeful shortcomings of a £25m signing just like Silva for instance. Your disgusting, unfounded generalisation bears no scrutiny whatsoever. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be any worse that the ineffective dross that's patrolling our frontline when Vardy isn't there. There's no escaping that the fact that when JV does eventually pack it in or suffers a long term injury, who do we have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mee-9 Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 First half he was very poor. He was so static. He didn't make any runs into space or anything, just kept losing out in the air to the centrebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The champions of England and probably the best team in Premier League history made sure there was a buy back clause on him? The more he plays for us the more it’s clear that he was assisted by an amazing bunch of teammates at Man City that made him look better than he actually is. Perhaps the giveaway was Pep’s keenness to sell. If he believes in a player then they don’t often move. The worry is that he simply doesn’t look like scoring. Even Okazaki looked more likely to score than Nacho today and that’s saying something. The stats speak for themselves. This is not about a players’ colour, nationality or even age. This is about an expensive striker not being able to score goals or even miss chances. I get the lack of service but the player we all thought we were signing was a special player from a top club who could make something out of nothing or do something extraordinary, what we are seeing is a player who cannot get involved unless he’s given something on a plate. We could’ve got that level of striker from league 1 or 2 for a 10th of the price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened with Musa and coubtless others and it'll happen again and again. It's subtle racism at its finest. Err... Were he scoring, and also being criticised for the slighest thing, then fair enough. But his form is garbage. And people are annoyed. There's racism around. But this ain't racism. It's poor form and poor effort. Edited 6 January 2019 by Foxxed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 6 January 2019 Share Posted 6 January 2019 If only he was as good as Kane at playing up front as he is at matching his mouth breathing during a game. Not sure where he goes from here, possibly abroad? It's hard to see it working out for him here, its just not clicking often enough when he plays.

I agree that new personal is required, but doubt it will happen this window as it is difficult to deal in we have had our pants pulled down in previous windows!!!, Slimani does offer something different especially when he attacks the ball in the box with his head, question is can we provide him with service and can he deliver as you say i'm not sure but surely it's worth a go the other 2 are getting worse by the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
