Dahnsouff Posted 8 April 2019 Posted 8 April 2019 If Mitrovic had any ambition, he would come to us. After all this time, Kelechi is BOSS at noughts and crosses, so would be quite the scalp!

FoxFossil Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 In a parallel universe, far far away, Rudkin gets £40m for Slimani and we sell Silva for £15m and get Youri and a RW. Statue of Rudkin replaces Clock tower by public demand.

Nick Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 We’ll apparently still get 10 million for him which is a miracle really.

Leicester could take a £20m hit on record signing Islam Slimani, currently on loan at Fenerbahce, with the 30-year-old Algeria forward expected to leave the club on a permanent basis for around £10m. (Star)

(Star) As i said I'll believe it when I see it. 31 years old this summer, high wages and hasn't done anything of note for a couple of years. I can't for the life of me see someone spend £10m on him.
Bossman Blessed It Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 I would imagine the board are pretty much resigned to taking a fairly big loss on Slimani. He couldn´t prove himself here - failed miserably at Newcastle and hasn´t exactly set the world alight in Turkey. All of this, while on a huge wage could be quite a pickle for us. I imagine unless Brendan can see a way to squeeze something out of him, he could easily be out for 6-8 million.
Blue ROI Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 10 Million would be a good price for him at this stage. His goals tally in 2016/17 was important as it helped us against Porto and it staved off potential relegation. That season we got about a 1/3 of his 30 million price. So would be a 10 million or so write off really. Less pressure on or wage bill would also be welcome.
David Hankey Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Do well to get £5M!! What an atrocious buy. Can't blame the player but where did that £29M valuation come from?
psychonaut Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 Did we really spend £29M on him though? This figure gets banded around in pounds and euros by the press and most on here, but the reality is usually a little less sensationally large. Perhaps this figure included all the add-ons if they were hit, but with the few the appearances made and his goal tally being quite low I can't imagine any add-ons were triggered. I'd be interested to know what he's cost us in reality.

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. You want the Little Mermaid here? Probably better than Rondon, I'll say that.
foxile5 Posted 9 April 2019 Posted 9 April 2019 He scored reasonably regularly for us and changed a game or two. He just wasn't the striker we thought we were getting. So disappointing.

He made 3 appearances as a substitute and got a 3 match ban for violent conduct; given that they paid a significant loan fee for him, I would say the injury is irrelevant. Clearly didn't impress when he was fit.

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. It’s FT again...!
