Babylon Posted 17 August 2019 Share Posted 17 August 2019 Silva free to leave... but but but... Rodgers put him in the “team”. Well on the bench with 11 subs in one preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure whoever said that to you will admit their mistake - are you going to admit yours about Maguire choosing Manchester over Leicester? How you ever thought that players wouldn't choose them over us still makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcnsk Posted 19 August 2019 Share Posted 19 August 2019 http://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-players-name-included-clubs-transfer-list-follow-compatriots-footsteps/ Leicester City’s Islam Slimani spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce, but the striker failed to impress during his time in Turkey and was left out of the squad from the end of February. On July 30th, the Algeria international stressed his “priority” is to continue with the Premier League side, where he still has two years left on his contract. Three days ago, The Telegraph reported the 31-year-old and Adrien Silva are not included in Brendan Rodgers’ plans and are free to leave the Foxes. Slimani’s compatriots Yacine Brahimi, Sofiane Hanni and Adlène Guedioura moved to Qatar in recent months. The latter left Nottingham Forest and joined Al-Gharafa. According to Algerian outlet FennecFootball.com, Slimani has now been included on the list of transfer targets for Al-Gharafa and the Qatari side will make an approach for the Leicester player It’s clear that Slimani has no future at Leicester, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will follow his compatriots and move to Qatar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does that I think it means he’ll just hang around to collect his pay while stinking the place up. Hopefully off to Qatar.

MC Prussian Posted 19 August 2019 Share Posted 19 August 2019 Would be great if he could go Qatar or Saudi Arabia. Team up with Musa again. At least clubs down there still pay great money for lukewarm talent. http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/sporarena/transfer-haberleri-islam-slimaninin-yeni-adresi-41305917 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanting to stay with us is obviously just for the £, much like his compatriot. Disappointing if he stays as we pay the price for his poor attitude yet again. Don’t know how you can come here as our record signing and blatantly not care, was meant to be his big move to make him a star and he couldn’t have cocked it up more really. I think the club are as much to blame for this. We obviously never did our homework on his poor attitude. If we had I don't think we would have touched him. Paying the stupid money the premier clubs do leaves every club open to this situation. Who on here would swap jobs for half the money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 20 August 2019 Share Posted 20 August 2019 I'm surprised Diabate hasn't had much interest for a few million, he did fairly well in the Superliga in Turkey last season. We are a graveyard for shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 20 August 2019 Share Posted 20 August 2019 Sporting's Bas Dost rumored to join Frankfurt, which opens up space for a replacement. Slimani could thus return to his former club, albeit at a cheaper price. https://www.90min.com/posts/6436813-sporting-cp-manager-comments-on-potential-move-for-leicester-outcast-islam-slimani Also in talks to join Monaco, with Radamel Falcao leaving for Galatasaray: https://www.cnnturk.com/spor/futbol/monaco-islam-slimaniyi-aliyor Maybe we can tie up some sort of two-player deal with Monaco, giving them Silva and Slimani at once at a reasonable rate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 20 August 2019 Share Posted 20 August 2019 Don't shoot the messenger here as I've not seen/heard it from anywhere substantial but there was quite a bit of talk on some prominent Celtic twitter accounts last night that Benkovic could be coming back on loan. I can't see it for a multitude of reasons, the most obvious being it would look to leave you short in terms of cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR will want to faze Morgan out this season and won't want him becoming the third choice CB. A fully fit Benkovic as third choice CB will get plenty of games over a season you would think and has the potential to push the other two CB's for a place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'd be happy for this to happen with an emergency recall clause as it would be more beneficial for him to be playing football than to sit on the bench for us.

Agreed, a young player with plent of potential needs regular game time. The recall clause should definitely be included though, in the event Evans or Soyuncu get injured.

Well, if we somehow manage to recoup in the region of £25m for the both of them, it'll be labeled a success. Moreso in the case of Slimani, who isn't really that sought after.
