Not only did it just dribble against the wall, it wasn't even on target..

What the fuck are people on about comparing Slimani to Doumbia ect?, fucking weirdo's He came with an injury so its hardly surprising that he's missed two games.

Gayle up front?, lets just not bother.

You know what, when Joselu does this, you'll be right, until then you're wrong, have a nice evening one of his 4 goals in 25 appearances in the Championship there. Meanwhile, the universally deemed not good enough Joselu has 4 goals in 22 appearances in the Premier League. GET.HIM.IN.THE.TEAM Would be interesting to lose the term ‘appearances’ and change it to minutes played, a more accurate reflection. Be my guest dude. Mitro - 4 goals and 6 assists in 1122 minutes as a bit part player, rarely starting 2 games in a row Joselu - 4 goals and 1 assist in 1562 minutes with 19 starts Looks totally different compared to the skewed figures you tried to use. Joselu has what? 1 goal in his last 9 appearances. I dont care less if Mitro turns up every day to training in stockings and heels, he’s still a better striker and we’d have been better off with him in the team. Had on, I'm no Mitrovic hater, but that's Championship stats vs Premier League stats. I do personally think Mitrovic is better than Joselu (assuming he can manage to stay on the pitch). But not by a wide enough margin to say he should be in the side no matter what he's doing in training, fucking hell, Ben Arfa he is not like..

Think the same, Sturridge has major problems with injury, its been about 4 years since he played regularly. Then you've got the fact he just seems like a bit of a tit (I mean that dance FFS) Also for all of him being considered proven, if you directly compare their records in the time Slimani has been here: Sturridge - 1200 minutes played - 5 goals = goal every 2.66 games Slimani - 1521 minutes played - 8 goals = goal every 2.11 games

Well they are currently, because they're in the top 6. Their current form is at least that level as well.

Should be pretty poors odds all things considered like. Fulham have 17 games between now and early May and Mitrovic should be able to play all of them in a poorer league and in a top 6 side. We have 13 games and Slimani can realistically play 11 of those in a higher quality league were his team is in a relegation battle.

Started 11 games and played a total of 12 matches based on total minutes played. Contributed to 10 goals (4 goals and 6 assists), definitely wasn't ineffective. Very interested to see what he'll do if he's given a run of games. Much more interesting move than if he'd gone back to Anderlecht. Hope he does well, he's still our player after all so that could only be good for us.

Of course the positives out weight the negatives. The negative is we lost 2 points. The positive is Kenedy showed he can make a big difference and we just need a finished to change draws to wins, and we've just signed one.

We only have 3 on loan unless I am missing something and also is it not 5 loans maxium?? 3 this window plus didn't merino count? Merino isn't a current loan so no, wouldn't count.

Possible Leicester would rather have sold him but just happy to get him off the books with it being deadline day. From the p,ayers point of view a loan works as he wouldn't be stuck here should we go down. How long has he been injured btw ? Just wondering if he'd have been playable had we signed him on New years day ? He just got a injury in training yesterday apparently, some say he can recover in 5-6 days some say 2 weeks.

His ability to not play Football matches? The fucker should be thinking about getting back on track not a extra few quid. Good luck playing right wing for Pardew.

The fact that we have loaned Slimani, and loaned ou Mitrovic coukd easily be read as a sign that Ashley wants Rafa out. Hows that then? Rafa wanted Mitrovic sold so we could buy Slimani, indicating his intentions for the club going forward. Ashley is only interested in short term. At the end of the season Rafa will be back at square one. He also didn't want him sold to a Premier League side and nobody else wanted to pay for him.

Even though he hasn't been a success at Leicester, when you look at goals vs minutes played he's still almost 1 in 2 in the league and better than that in all competitions. Joselu and Gayle are both 1 in 4. Everywhere else he's played he's been a 1 in 2 or better striker.

Aye bound to be on like £150k a week like.. The fact that we have loaned Slimani, and loaned ou Mitrovic coukd easily be read as a sign that Ashley wants Rafa out. Hows that then?

Needs a lift in his career, goes to a low profile club with no fans managed by Alan Pardew, aye mint choice..

Seems like before now Leicester would only sell and we're to cheap to pay the £20m+ they wanted. Now they're prepared to loan since nobody else has come in with the money.

Benitez just doesn't rate any of our keepers, can't blame him.

Sky have gone from "told Slimani deal is agreed" to "Its a strong possibility".. Knew it was a mistake to start a thread you bastards!

Haha, ok I'm not really concentrating at the minute like

Like waiting for the captain of the football team to ask you to prom, and settling for the kid who smells like a hamster cage. Aye, still on the plus side at least he gets to play at St Jame's instead of that rat hole Chelsea play in.

We've loaned out a player Benitez won't even have in the squad for a player he wants, that's win win for me like. Also minimum 3 games?, based on what? We only have 3 games in the next 30 days. He's rumoured to be out for either 5-6 days or 2 weeks. 3 games include tonight. Then will need to get fit for next game so likely wont be named as a starter and slim chance makes the bench? And Leicester when we play them will have loan agreement he can't face former club. Anyone we sign today would miss tonight. In fact anyone we'd have signed yesterday or the day before would miss tonight since Benitez doesn't rush players into the team before preparing them in training. Yeah but im looking at him being lucky to be ready for the Man Utd game. And obviously missing Leicester. Its not about being a pessimist or a moaner. Simply is it enough? In my eyes we need a few more yet,Or I dont think it will be enough. Swansea out of the bottom 3, WBA strengthened. We cant win home games. Id be a bit worried if we are pinning our hope on Slimani. ?? It might not be enough, I'm just disagreeing with the notion that this won't improve us because we've just loaned one out and one in. That's a overly simplistic way of looking at it and the reality is quite different. Also WBA have signed one extremely injury prone striker on loan.

Definitely shouldn't have started a thread like

Both 100% fit and up for it I'd choose Sturridge, but because of fitness and mentality worries I'd much prefer Slimani. Even with Slimani currently having a injury I'd still be confident he's less likely to miss games than Sturridge, and less likely to be a cunt.
