Loan watch 2019-20

[brucey]

Apparently Slim has an option to buy for 10m euros in the loan deal. If he keeps it up hopefully they will trigger it, it would be a decent deal for us given he’ll be 32 in the summer and on his last year of contract.

Weirdly I think I just saw Kaputska kicking a ball across the river in abbey park. His mate filming it. Looked just like him and was in lcfc training kit. He did have 33 on though which hasn’t been his number?

Josh Knight got his third assist of the season with a tidy pass to Ward who went on a superb Ricardoesq run slotting Peterborough's first goal in their 2 - 1 victory over Gillingham keeping Peterborough in the hunt for league one's second automatic promotion place.

 

 

League one was less favourable for Iversen who let in two against Elliot Moore's triumphant Oxford, and even less favourable for Ndukwu who for the second time didn't get in the squad for league-two-bound Southend who drew at Tranmere. Neither Hughes or Loft appeared for their league two clubs, both of which marked this special occasion by losing to Northampton and Plymouth respectively.

Slimani scores again! 2-2 at Monaco now.

He also assisted Ben Yedder for the first. Their defense is absolutely terrible though.

[Ric Flair]

Slimani is the best striker in Europe right now hahahaaa

[Billy Big Balls]

Surely Monaco won't buy Silva or Slim off us, both are out of contract so they'll just wait and get them both for free next summer, or am I missing something? Maybe they could pay to avoid other clubs coming in but I don't see the players getting a better offer than Monaco.

Both have multiple years left on their contracts.

That's incorrect. Those dates refer to their loan contracts at Monaco.

Ahh my mistake! Both go to 2021 so we could still be in the money! 

[tsintskaro]

I wanted Leicester to buy Ben yedder that year when they bought Slimani

if i am correct hes price was like 10 mil when Sevilla got him

now these 2 are carrying monaco lo l

[Foxxed]

So all that excitement for Slimani was completely justified albeit two years later and for a different team

In a much easier league, too...

****in love slim hope he gets a perm move and continues his comeback

[chuck'em]

It will never work for him here but 5 goals and 8 assists in 7 games is insane

Is this the latest on our Bartoz, he not on loan or anything? Read a thing a while ago saying BR would give him a go, not training with first team is he?

Still rehabbing from that awful injury last season I would have thought, otherwise he’d probably have shown up in an U23s game by now.

It might have done if we didn’t boo him when he played...

He'd still have eighteen months in January, this isn't his last year.

What can we say - he's a late bloomer and all...

Transfermarkt has him down with 5 goals and 6 assists. Which still looks mightily impressive, mind.

 

Still, whenever I watch Ligue 1 highlights, it has a League One touch to it in terms of style of play and speed. A lot less spectacular, but in Monaco's case, that's also down to pretty awful home support at the Stade Louis II.

That's actually 5 goals and 7 assists (more than anyone in the league).

 

He seems to have found the perfect understanding with Ben Yedder (best goal scorer).

[LCCFox96]

An in-form Slimani and Ben Yedder partnership will do some serious damage in Ligue 1. If he keeps this up until January I'm quietly hopeful they'll look at making it permanent then as he's made a huge impact. If not hopefully we can recoup something in the summer.
