MPH Posted 13 April 2019 Share Posted 13 April 2019 i think the Price tag was the problem here. if we’d have spent much less the pressure and expectations wouldn’t have been so high and if would have been easier for us, as fans, to just move on and put him into the ‘you win some you lose some’ category.

Clever Fox Posted 13 April 2019 Share Posted 13 April 2019 I'd just love to know who picked a player with such a poor touch. i don't believe any Scout worth his salt would have promoted him. never mind his attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored about 30 goals for Sporting the season we bought him and I can remember their fans saying he was the best player they had ever had.

He had one of the best records in Europe. He was an absolute goal machine and matched everything we needed. good scouting and an absolute coup for us to sign him. On paper all looked great and no stone was left unturned looking for the right player. We already had Ulloa and we weren’t looking for a big man as such, we were looking for the complete centre forward. unfortunately he is a Cnut and it didn’t work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also a long way from the complete Centre Forward. when scouting players you have to look beyond the goals in his case. He also has such limited ability that I question the people who chose him. You're also right he was never a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still remember Albrighton having a right slanging match with him during one match because he made a mess of things once to often, then Marc ran down the line and said a few things to the peeps in the dugout whilst pointing at Slimani, guess he did not rate him much either that match Edited 22 April 2019 by ithuriel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 24 April 2019 Share Posted 24 April 2019 Real shame it hasn’t worked out for Slimani he obviously is superb in the Portuguese league but dreadful in the Premier league and Sounds like the Turkish league too, reading some articles it seems his attitude leaves a lot to be desired and he thinks he’s a lot better than he actually is !! Seems like we’ll be getting a huge loss when we sell him on but I suppose getting him off the wage bill will certainly be a bonus for us, shame he didn’t work out for us but let’s just draw a line under him and move him on !!

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. Im pretty shaw that Brendon will give him a chance pre season. He doesnt seem to write anybody off without a thorough look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he’s allegedly on £80k p/w with a year left on his contract, I reckon we’ll take what we can for him. Can’t see us ever seeing old Slim in a competitive game again.

Numerous players were dissatisfied with his application and it was quite obvious there is friction there. Quite noticeable he would not compete for crosses unless they required the minimum of effort from him, glaringly selective in his play. Does not fit the team, no where as good as people remember, so our only real option is to sell!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 3 May 2019 Share Posted 3 May 2019 He's quite a decent presser of the ball and deceptively mobile. It doesn't seem like he fits in the dressing room but he's more of a threat than Iheanacho, if we could get £10m for him now we'd snap any clubs hand off but I can't see anyone spending close to that.
