5waller5 Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 Personally I think he's absolutely suited to the percentage balls that Puel insists we knock into the box every time we get the ball ..... a target man would thrive on the quantity of dross crosses - from the balance of probabilities at least 2-3 of the 4000 times a game the ball is played aimlessly into the box would hit his head and go in. Although Puel would probably tell him not to venture past the halfway. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strange that in a system that is supposed to have us playing attractive, possession based football - we launch more hopeless balls into the box than I can ever remember. Puel may not think we need a target man for his system, but I don't think we've ever needed one more than now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 I would have him back personally based on playing style & what he offers. however from what I’ve heard he’s a bad egg in the dressing room. Fell out with many of the “leaders” in the group, in-particularly Vards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 Can someone confirm or deny that basically the squad don't like him and JV cannot stand him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 I liked him when he played, problem is actually getting him on the pitch, a bit of a sick note unfortunately ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but he's never had more than two successive games, yet still more or less delivered, as far as I can remember. Compare this to any other striker we have bar Vardy. People constantly refer to his attitude off the pitch, yet I'd like to have a solid evidence that he was stinking up the dressing room.

STUHILL Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 Slimani/Silva to Sevilla would be great moves for them both and hopefully we can get some money back in the summer if both/one performs well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMELcfc Posted 18 January 2019 Share Posted 18 January 2019 (edited) If we are going to just run out of ideas in the final third every game and just start putting balls into the box... why not bring him back?

Vards was over to check him out and I remember him picking him up/checking his leg out in such an impersonal way and waving over to the bench - it just didnt look at all comfortable between them Yeah exactly, when Mahrez was here. The Algerian click was taking over a bit. Rumours are that the players felt, Slimani was bad talking about the other players whilst in the changing room but in Algerian. Didn’t sit to well with the other lads, to the point Vardy confronted him about it. Eventually started to push himself out more & more within the group. Hence a lot of the time when Slim played the majority of the time he played the ball to Mahrez even if there was better options available. It left Mahrez in a very uncomfortable position who tried to play the middle man. Also different subject but wouldn’t be surprised to see DD back at Leicester. Relationship is strained with the board (Jon Rudkin) however the leaders of the group are very much for him coming back. Plays a big role with regards to transfers & keeping everyone happy.

The last thing we need is (assuming you mean group within the squad) the team choosing our transfer targets. DD is I understand devastated regarding his decision to leave now, to which I have some sympathy, but very much like Slimani, we should move on, and not let cliques dictate our squad nor our tactics, nor allow them to to drag their heels to get what they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s way to late for that mate... the relationship is between the players & the owner means they do have a big say on things. Been like that here for years now.

splinterdream Posted 19 January 2019 Share Posted 19 January 2019 People saying they'd have him back, Puel won't play with 2 strikers but tbh, he'd probably suit Puels style of play more than Vardy does, he'd certainly be more effective substitute then Nacho who really needs a loan i think.

The guy is a cock and total waste of money. We could have spent half that money and got more for it. Kasper is the worse at this. It's never his fault.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 25 January 2019 Share Posted 25 January 2019 (edited) He's not coming back here but if he stays on loan and Silva, king, leave and iborra has gone already..... maybe...just maybe we can get one or two in...also benaluane has gone we must have some targets in mind otherwise it's promoting more youth Edited 25 January 2019 by Grebfromgrebland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about him thinking it’s never his fault but berating his defence is largely a keeper’s role as they can see the balance and formation laid out in front of them much more clearly than others. This means that they will be able to spot why the opposition player was able to get into position to score and tell everyone how to stop it happening again and sometimes shouting is the only way to be heard on the field of play.

He is more of a captain getting his team in order, most keepers are like. At least he says something and takes a lead, something the actual club captain regularly fails to do.
