Lineker's Left Foot Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 Has someone translated that article because sitting here in my lounge on the outskirts of Hinckley, I don't think google translate has reached here yet....
Brooksy Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 Leicester close to hiring Slimani By Newsroom Islam Slimani can leave Sporting in the coming hours. According to the newspaper A BOLA, Leicester prepares to make an offer of € 8 million by the Algerian striker, a proposal that may render the coffers Lions further two million by objectives. followed The player is not with the team for the Egypt and since the charge of the club will not place high barriers to exit. 11:01 - 08/04/2014
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 Interesting, never heard of the source before?
AKCJ Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 Not entirely sure what he's done to deserve an €8m price tag.

Ric Flair Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 Prefer Deeney Slimani is nearly half the price and I'd loathe to let Watford have £10 million off us and Lloyd Dyer for free.
Babylon Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 sounds contagious. E Bola is its Spanish sister paper.
CosbehFox Posted 4 August 2014 Author Posted 4 August 2014 A goal every 132 minutes for Sporting last season. 5 goals were winners and 4 in the last twenty
Nick Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 A goal every 132 minutes for Sporting last season. 5 goals were winners and 4 in the last twenty Yep but used off the bench, to both hold up play when winning and to chase the game a s a super sub so not an awful stat considering?
CosbehFox Posted 4 August 2014 Author Posted 4 August 2014 Yep but used off the bench, to both hold up play when winning and to chase the game a s a super sub so not an awful stat considering? It was more in support of him. If you consider that he went from African club football to Sporting, you'd imagine he took some time getting used to the level.
Nick Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 is the site reliable? Uncertain - which is a slightly better omen than knowing it definitely isn't reliable! No matter what, it'll be badly regurgitated on the first4lcfc site in the next few hours........... It was more in support of him. If you consider that he went from African club football to Sporting, you'd imagine he took some time getting used to the level. Ah, I see where you are coming from.
Dan Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 I get the feeling we're going to be using Vardy as a winger/wide forward. I'm not keen on that.
kingfox Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 If we do sign this guy, I think Nigel's plan could be to play him up front on his own. Some games we will probably play 4-4-2, others we could play 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1. When we play two up front, I think Nigel will go with Ulloa & Vardy, mix the power with the pace, could be very effective in some games. While if we play one up front, I can see Nigel going with Nugent or Slimani if he comes in, both of them can hold the ball up, run the channels, have good work rate, and they will close down and hassle defenders. If you play Ulloa up front on his own, his the type of player who would get isolated, not as hard working and will get frustrated if things don't go his way. While Vardy has the work rate, but isn't the type of player you'd play alone up front. Depending on fitness levels, we could well see Nugent & Vardy to start with, but as the season progresses and we get in Slimani I wouldn't be surprised if what I have said above happens.

A huge amount of speculation based on nothing really. To say Ulloa doesn't have the work rate for playing up front is bold. How many times have you seem him play live?
Tielemans63 Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 I get the feeling we're going to be using Vardy as a winger/wide forward. I'm not keen on that. Same here. It seems to me that he might be asked to play in the Lloyd Dyer role, albeit a bit more as an inside forward than an out and out winger.
Collymore Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 So the rumor he was spotted in the crowd at Ilkeston might be true....
The Doctor Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 Yep but used off the bench, to both hold up play when winning and to chase the game a s a super sub so not an awful stat considering? A goal every 1.5 matches is pretty damn good even before you consider that.
Guest Col city fan Posted 4 August 2014 Posted 4 August 2014 DU DU DU DU ISLAM SLIMANI Yes, very good...
