geordiedean Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 No way is a takeover happening like if this is what we're limited to Exactly this. The only semblance of hope we would have of a takeover being done is if we were being linked to players who are in the 15m plus bracket. Scraping around the bargain basement is going to get us nowhere but the Championship. If you buy cheap quality in life its usually shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way wed bid even close to 15m for Slimani, wed try for a loan deal As has been said hes not even making Leicesters bench and people are thinking its a high profile signing......just wow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Do we honestly believe most jornos know anything with regards to the takeover/targets? Every transfer window is silly season & correct me if im wrong most of Rafas signings have came out of the blue, have they not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Zaius Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Slimani man. 7 goals in 30 league appearances so far. He's hardly gonna start setting the world alight. Crap signing and stinks of relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were linked with Cenc Tosun over two months ago in one of the Sunday rags, now he's supposedly heading for Everton. It could be that Slimani was our no 1 target all along, and that is why we've not pursued Tosun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Why the fuck would anyone buy slimani? Just loan a better striker that cant get in a top side, Batshuayi or someone, there must be tons of strikers that cant get in tops sides itching to prove themselves. Its better for us if its a player who has a point to prove. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoppaz Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Slimani man. 7 goals in 30 league appearances so far. He's hardly gonna start setting the world alight. Crap signing and stinks of relegation. He isn't a Leicester type player. He scores loads of goals via headers and is more Mitro plus lots of pace. With our wingers and set plays he would be better suited to our way of playing IMO. Having a player who is a massive threat up front rather than just a little one will give relief to our midfield and defence. It's our weakest and most unmatched area to the rest of the team. The offence of Man City for example who has offensive threat subbed a defender and basically allowed Joselu to win every header only to pick up the scraps of those headers to get possession back and then pass it to the extra offensive threat which is why Rafa had his tactics and then as the game opened up and they got frustrated took it to them.

He's not exactly produced that much for Chelsea when he's played has he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 He's only started 3 games for Chelsea in the league and made 27 sub appearances scoring 7 goals. Scored a couple in the CL this season, too. 1 start, 3 sub appearances. Even on loan he'd be a cracking signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
