Bimpy474 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Premier League experience is such a weird one - do you have Premier League experience if you've shown that you are distinctly average in the Premier League? Seems a bit pointless to buy Deeney, for example, when at the age of 29 he's only scored 25 PL goals in 89 matches. It's what the Rafa said like, not sure i totally agree but if we can sign someone better than Joselu then it's mint....ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I think Slimani would be a good signing. No point of him if we don't have the right service, though. (and yes, he is better than Mitrovic.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Imagine our record signing being a 29 year old Watford fringe player. Think I’d take it as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Are Liverpool actually expecting £50m for Sturridge? If so, I guess we're looking at Ings, Deeney, Barnes, someone of that ilk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'd prefer to take a punt on Sandro from Everton - less money and younger. If anyone can get a tune out of him, Rafa can Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit pointless to buy Deeney, for example, when at the age of 29 he's only scored 25 PL goals in 89 matches. That’s not much less than 1 in 3, playing for Watford. Can’t be that bad surely?

TRon Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 One in tomorrow (Kenedy) according to my man at the club. He seems to think Slimani is off elsewhere though. That figures, he's the only striker we've been linked with, who I think would make a real difference in the relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 For no reason whatsoever i think it might be Kelechi Iheanacho instead of Slimani. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Evening of the 22nd of January, and we haven't even got a new player thread on here. Very telling that, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 £20m for tory Deeney/Slimani is f***ing mental Never knew Deeney and Slimani were Tories. Slymoney more like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 He's under contract until end of next season. 27 years old and on 70k/pw. I'd guess they would want upwards of 30-35m minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Don't really get the Slimani and Deeney rumours if I'm honest. What we need is an upgrade in Gayle who is able to stretch defences and has enough pace to exploit space when given passes in tight areas playing on the shoulder with enough pace to make a difference.

Skeletor Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Imagine Ashley breaking the club record transfer. He'd use that as an excuse to not spend money for the next 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 No reason for anyone to take any Deeney link seriously, main reason is it came from ESPN who know absolutely fuck all. Slimani might actually have some weight to it seeing as it's been reported consistently in various places for months, neither are good enough though IMO. We'll just have to replace them again in a year tops and i can't see them making a massive impact on whether we stay up or go down, hopefully it would be someone else.
