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...
TRon Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 We've been consistently linked to Slimani though. Why the pretence we haven't been linked to higher profile players? So weird man. 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...

Optimistic Nut 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. Howay man thought you were better than that. He's played more than 20 minutes just once this season in 8 sub apps. He'll get a lot more games here with not having an already established pairing of Vardy & Okazaki to contend with. 14 starts, 19 sub apps with 7 goals and 5 assists at a goal every 200 minutes. He was Rafa's main target had we stayed up last time by several accounts so is obviously someone he likes. I think he'd be a great signing for us.

HaydnNUFC 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 s**** Trying to link transfer gossip in tabloids to the takeover not happening. Pure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Aye. Like trying to muscle in on a title winning strike partnership. Seems like a more mobile, more prolific Mitrovic to me. I think he'd be brilliant. Could be what Carroll & Ba were for us 2010-2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
