Lush Vlad Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I’ve always quite liked the look of Slimani. Got in some great areas and had some tidy finishes early on for Leicester. Looks a bit heavy, mind. Would prefer someone a bit more pacey and mobile. Is his style hugely different to Mitrovic? Beggars can’t be choosers and I doubt we even get anyone in. So if it is true. I hope we pay what they’re asking. I think we’re going down without a 2 more decent additions this window. He surprised me how quick he was in one goal he scored this season, think it was when Leicester played at home to Huddersfield? Ran onto to a ball played in behind, didn't look slow at all. Yeah. I remember the one you mean. Wasn’t he miles clear after timing his run, though? He just doesn’t strike me as the most agile and think he could be frustrating as fuck as a lone striker. Still, all of ours are currently. So what’s new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, all of ours are currently. So what’s new Think it might be a better version of Mitro, slightly quicker, slightly better finisher and not a bell end on the pitch. Will actually follow instructions and not do stupid, pointless shite that can led to red cards and retrospective punishments. If Rafa wants him, I'll get behind it.

Dave Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Imagine the pressure this imaginary player would be under to be shit hot, after everything we've been through with Ashley. Think I mentioned this the last time that was said...but wouldn't a pro relish that kind of challenge/have such an ego it wouldn't phase them? Suppose it depends on the character...but we definitely don't want/need a self-doubting softie. Nah the player wouldn't give a fuck, I just mean us lot and Rafa would be sweating a bit. If it doesn't work, we'll be back to taking punts on £5m strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just seems a bit of a no brainer if he's off to Inter for a £1.5million loan fee I thought Ashley would be all over that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Whilst we can surely afford £1.5m loan fee, the £150k/week wages might be a little more of a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Whilst we can surely afford £1.5m loan fee, the £150k/week wages might be a little more of a problem. £4.2m for a player who easily could be the difference between going down or staying up.

Happinesstan Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Knowing our luck we'll sign a quality striker who likes nothing more than playing on the big stage. He'll walk out to the roaring passion of 50,000 geordies. His first pass will be so sublime as to take everyone's breath away, leaving St. James in momentary silence which freaks him out and he's never the same player again.

He's easily the striker who excites me the most out of the ones mentioned, if only because he looks the most capable of playing as a lone striker. Don't know about his touch being off, but he's mobile, powerful and decent in the air. Can't see it happening though, Ashley's not going to sanction £20m+ on a striker approaching 30.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Slimani is far from slow and immobile, like. It's more his decision making that is in doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
