Popular Post peach0000 Posted 3 April 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 April 2019 Controversial opinion but...... I reckon he should be given a second chance. His first season with us was plagued with injury but he still managed a decent goal return even scoring in the champions league. Then all of a sudden he's written off by everyone. There's a top quality player in there somewhere, we just need to help him to find some form and confidence. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only got 2 years left on his contract, and he's 31 soon. We'd probably just prefer him off the books - provided we can get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we need to be building for the future, we need to be grooming Vardy's successor and bring back an ageing 30 year isn't going to help that. We need to try and off load him asap, combine with Okizaki contract expiring that leave us with Vardy, Nacho, and the opportunity to bring in a younger more mobile player i.e. Adams, or a target man like Mitrović. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 3 April 2019 Share Posted 3 April 2019 We will probably get a loan fee and then have some of his wages off our books for next season. Hardly ideal but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 3 April 2019 Share Posted 3 April 2019 I dont think it was his ability that was the problem, more so his attitude. He came in to the team and after 2/3 games you could see him constantly shouting at his team mates on the pitch and quite clearly blaming others for just about everything. Doesnt take a psychologist to notice that he didnt have a strong bond with his team mates from what we could see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he did well first season, but at the end of the day you've got to look at objectively. He's no spring chicken, we got him at his peak and for the price he should've had a bigger impact, you can put that on the manager as well for not really utilising him but it's by the by. He's coming back to the club off the back of a shocking spell at Turkey, we've also got another misfiring striker who is probably worth giving more of a chance to based on his age and him being more suited to BRodge's style. Slimani is a bit of a one trick pony, but he's really good at his one trick but either way we aren't going to utilise that under BRodge so time to cut our losses imo.

I have it from the horses mouth that slimani is a ****. Speaking in Arabic and French to vardy and other players to thier face. So he can call them this and that without them understanding it. Mahrez was here before to break it up, but not now. Bin slimani off, useless footballer and a shithouse of a human being, get rid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simoken Posted 4 April 2019 Share Posted 4 April 2019 (edited) People who think he should be given a second chance.... His attitude stinks, and i wouldn't feel confident bringing him on in the new season. He has had more than enough to prove himself and the fact LCFC have loaned him out so early in his career with us, tells you all you need to know about the man. No thanks. Absolute fraud of a player.

Guest bss9401 Posted 4 April 2019 Share Posted 4 April 2019 I have great memories of the goals he scored for us but... I have to believe the rumours of his terrible attitude and disruptive influence. Now bin him, whatever the loss might be and get someone like Mitrovic or Rondon to give us that kind of option up front. I'm sure that such s player would get plenty of game time over the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no Ariel threat or a player who can hold the ball up when we are under the kosh. We are a bit like Spurs with Kane, no top quality striker will want to come to Leicester and sit on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the slight difference is Kane has many years ahead of him, whereas sadly Vardy doesn't. Our main priority needs to be a younger understudy who can gradually be phased into the team.

I don't disagree, but I would also argue that we only have one style of play and whilst at present that is working fine there will come a situation where a plan B is required. Rondon could offer that requirement and not be too against being mainly a bench player. I agree that a further striker, an understudy, to Vardy is also needed.

They also have Premier League experience, which has been missing from most of our recent buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrovic has been relegated.. not good enough at causing trouble clearly.. Rondon failed with Westbrom at that sort of game plan. Honestly i'm not a big fan of hold Ulloa styled players... its very much a counter attacking attribute long dead with our 442. We need to move forward with a more intense and quick passing game with direct exciting football. From what im seeing now, we don't really need one or care to have an option to get a hold-up player. We are changing and you need to adapt. Your last comment was right though, we need more PL proven players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrovic and Rondon both lead the line very effectively and have scored goals at this level. In our recent league game Mitrovic was very impressive and he was pretty much alone up front. I would have liked us to have retained Ulloa and it is as a tactical change and the ability to have another option up front that is needed in a squad. It isn't Mitrovic's fault the Fulham have a seive for a defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
