Jamie Vardy would say it's slow.

That goal he scored v Lens would not be scored in the premiership. That is my point. £30m for a low end premier league standard player is too much.

We just played that team and didn’t get near to scoring past them

Considering we have spent £25mil on Skipp and £8mil on Ayew £30mil for this guy would be a robbery.

You’re correct, he wouldn’t score in the premiership, considering the “premiership” hasn’t existed since about 2001.

Apologies. Premier league. £30M for an unproven greek league standard player. Has Slimani vibes to me.

Never in his wildest dreams has Vardy been able to carry the ball or hold it up like Ioannidis. 

 

They're just different players. Why even compare. 

 

Usain Bolt thinks Jamie Vardy is slow. Eliud Kipchoge thinks Usain Bolt is a pussy for only being able to run 200 odd meters without dying on his arse.

Yes but that might just be my internet connection.

Have you even watched him play. 

 

On what planet is he anything like Slimani. He's six foot and Mediterranean that's basically where the comparisons begin and end. 

 

You might as well liken Landon Donovan to Romario.

No. 

 

Planet Earth and an unknown quantity like Slimani.

 

So you want us to spend £30m on him.

 

Don't understand your other remark.

Completely different play styles for a start. if the most you can say is "they've not played in the premier league" just go the full hog and start saying he couldn't do it on a rainy Tuesday night at Stoke. is the signing a risk? yes, every signing is. Doesn't change the fact that his profile is impressive and it is the sort of signing we're desperately crying out for

This is exactly the type of striker we've needed for a long time. Hope we get him in

If we're comparing it to Slimani then, taking into account how transfer fees have grown over the last 8 years,  if we bought Slimani today we'd have probably been looking closer to £60million

Gonna be mental when we finally agree a price and find out he doesn't want to play for us.

Can’t wait for him to only want to play for Sporting

[kingpowerout]

they will want another £5m after that goal...but seriously, he can't be worth much more thank £25m given he's playing in the Greek league

Cheeky €30m bid now Ipswich are presumably out of the running? 

[James_lcfc]

This is the one.

 

Time to push the boat out Rudders!

He’s the profile that will fit in perfectly

Yep, I reckon so too.

 

Looks an expensive risk, but you’ve got to speculate to accumulate after all!
