moore_94 Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 Coming from HITC with a turkish source so probably not much in it but Aston Villa interested in getting him on loan https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/17/report-aston-villa-want-to-sign-fenerbahce-striker-islam-slimani/
Fox92 Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 Shame. He's got a decent record when starting games, just seems don't want to give him a chance. Same people who are calling for us to sign a target man. If we actually played him as a target man, with a strike partner, I'm convinced he'd be good for us. But it's not going to happen.
AjcW Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 I can imagine him having a similar impact in the Championship to Mitrovic at Fulham

His attitude stinks, He runs like he has skates on ice, failed to deliver numerous times, Failed at Newcastle & Failed at Fenerbahce. The guy is a disaster and proves that he is not good enough at PL level. end of.

He was never played as a target man though - at least I can't recall - we always seemed to have him running around like Vardy and it's just not his game. Dunno about his attitude, this seems to be aimed at anyone who doesn't work out here. I'd like to know how many assists he has, also. I recall him getting two in the Manchester City win.

It’s a shame because with the amount we cross the ball currently and how we play, I feel like Slimani would have a much bigger impact that Vardy currently does

The thing i love about Vardy is that he doesnt bitch and moan at his team mates if a delivery doesnt go how he wants, He carries on and plays as a team (together) as unit and doesnt single others out... This season his patience is tested due to the play style doesnt suit him but still.. a professional at best. Slimani at Pre-season stunk of a bad attitude, complaining and throwing a wobbly, no comparison. The comparison is that Vardy is LCFC and plays as a unit for the entire team and respects the club on the day and Slimani well he wants his goal tally to improve and so he can **** off elsewhere no doubt. who knows. You either want a Vardy type of player or no one else.
AKCJ Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 Say what you like about him but he's far too good for the Championship.
sphericalfox Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 Seen him arrive at the training ground this morning in a Dr. Octopus costume.
ealingfox Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 He's a doggo player overall but I think we'd have got something from Saturday if he'd played the second half.

Didn't you use the excuse that Vardy is shit for us this season because of Puel and the system. Perhaps Fenerbahce has the wrong system for him. I think his stats for us would actually be making him look like our best striker this season. I liked him but understand why most people don't. Culturally his "attitude" doesn't fit in.

Slimain turns 31 this year, and isn't getting any better with age. Harry Kane was 20 when he was with us, at the start of his career. Who knows what could've happened instead, had we been more patient with him. But in the end, it only was a loan spell that was rather disastrous. Not Kane's fault, it just wouldn't work out for him here.

lgfualol Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 Fenerbahce are muck this season. I'll have him back
Clever Fox Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 I definitely think he could do a job for us, But he isn't the future and that's the dilemma. I also heard he had an attitude problem and didn't mix with our squad. So I doubt he'll be coming back here.
Finn Claw II Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 He’s failed with us, Newcastle and now Fenebache. Not quite goals everywhere. that said he is at least a different option off the bench.
Buzzell Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 With the way are strikers have been this season I would happily have him back on the bench if we don’t get another striker in the window. He’s a different option off the bench, one we currently lack.
David Hankey Posted 17 January 2019 Posted 17 January 2019 £29M worth of shite, why would he be any better than before?
