Robster Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Pre-Leicester he was lethal. If he’s hungry to prove himself and Rafa actually wanted him it could work out very well. Still riskier than spending £30m on someone guaranteed to score, but we knew that already. Was there even anyone available for £30m who could be guaranteed to score goals? We were quoted £20m for Jorgensen and he wasn't guaranteeing anything. Imo unless you're signing Lionel Messi there's no such thing as a player who will guarantee goals. There's a multitude of reasons why players might not hit form at a new club despite doing well for the former clubs. Messi is the only player in world football who transcends that. Wrong. If anyone could ruin Lionel Messi it would be NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chicken little Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/01/west-ham-suspend-tony-henry-racism-claim-sign-african-players West Ham are facing a crisis after their head of player recruitment was suspended following allegations of racism and unlawful discrimination. Senior players reacted with bemusement to the club’s messy end to the transfer window and remarks by Karren Brady were said to have scuppered a deal to sign Islam Slimani from Leicester. [...] According to a source, attempts to sign Slimani were hindered because Brady, the club’s vice-chairman, offended Leicester’s owners with comments about the club’s chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, in her weekly column for the Sun last year. “A fellow Premier League director reports that last night he bumped into the Leicester chairman at London’s most expensive wine shop,” Brady wrote. “The Leicester owner told him they’d sacked Claudio Ranieri. “He then casually settled his bill for wine and champagne. Since the sum was close to £500,000 I guess the compensation to his old manager is pocket change. At least the owner can drown his sorrows in style!” The source suggested Brady’s comments ended up becoming a PR own goal when Leicester refused to consider West Ham’s interest in Slimani, paving the way for Newcastle United to sign the Algerian forward on loan. It is claimed that despite repeated apologies from West Ham, attempts to make peace with Leicester fell on deaf ears. haha cheers dickhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were so incredibly fortunate yesterday Imagine being a vice chairman of a prem league club and running a weekly gossip column in the friggin Sun newspaper What a tacky woman. Have to love the pettiness by Leicester to hold that against them for a year, and not only then deny them a chance to sign Slimani, but hand him over to a relegation rival.

Guest Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Did they really sign Hugill instead of Slimani? For about £10m wasn't it? And Sunderland fans in the summer were talking him up as a possible signing because Simon Grayson was manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Have a feeling that we will be happy we got him instead of Sturridge. Of course it's based on nothing but wishful thinking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved Sturridge, don't get me wrong, but in the back of my mind I was shit scared he would get injured and miss out on the majority of games.

Random factoid; Africa is massively genetically diverse, far more than the rest of the world put together, northern Europeans are actually more closely genetically related to Aboriginal Australians than West Africans are to East Africans.
