Disastrous signing. there were glimpses early on of how it could work but we simply don’t play the right system for him... he’s not a vardy type player in any way... it was clear fairly early on that we were going to build the team around Vardy so for us to then buy a polar opposite doesn’t make sense to me 1 Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the target man is happy to be utilised in that way... Not really sure why we didn't just keep Ulloa sweet instead of spunking £30m on Slimani. Would have been happy to cover Vardy at a fraction of the cost and his attitude was unquestionably better than Slims, not actually that much difference in ability either! 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzy_Jeff 287 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January Good to get him off the wage bill. Hopefully means there’s scope for a replacement Link to post Share on other sites
Guzzgog 8 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January I assume there was no transfer money involved? Even if there’s not it’s good to have him off the wage bill. Link to post Share on other sites

Foxy_Bear 2,368 Posted 13 January Report Share Posted 13 January (edited) This deal actually makes sense now with the arse collapsing on the TV deal over there. Lyon must have saw that coming so sold a valuable asset whilst still being able to negotiate a fair price and replace him with a cheap alternative.
