joeyt Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Take it there's been no talk of an option or obligation to buy? If hes scoring goals and keeps us up. Signing him will become fairly easy, I would have thought. Not if Leicester want to recoup what they bought him for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 He’d easily have had 2 tonight if he was fit to play and not signed at the 11th hour. This is it. Those two extra points could be huge at the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Honestly thinking back over the season till now, we’ve literally created some very clear cut chances in mostly all of these matches that our strikers have missed point blank that have been fluffed, tamely hit, wide or over. Slimani should have a field day assuming his movement is anywhere as competent as I think it should be. Can see him getting close to double digits if he plays 10 matches. Honestly hope his injury was over dramatic and he’s on bench Sunday and starting following week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 We create a ton of chances. We've been really good in that department all season and is partially why I haven't been that worried about our survival chances. If we had a striker from the beginning of the season we'd be closer to top half looking up than bottom half looking down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Realistically if he plays ten games we're looking at, what, 3 to 5 goals? This is the issue with having such a bad summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think having someone the players actually have confidence in up top can give a boost to the rest as well mind so not quite as simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think having someone the players actually have confidence in up top can give a boost to the rest as well mind so not quite as simple as that. we haven’t had a problem creating chances. It works the other way as well, if the delivery and through balls are constantly s***, the striker will stop making those key runs and getting into key positions etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I think having someone the players actually have confidence in up top can give a boost to the rest as well mind so not quite as simple as that. That's going to be a massive factor. That was one reason I was pleased when I thought Sturridge was signing, it lifts the whole side when they know there's someone who'll score goals and win games from nothing.

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm feeling uneasy about this. There's going to be way too much expectation on his shoulders. Aye mainly because he's done nothing in England to be worthy of such expectations. I'm personally expecting very little but he can't be worse than Joselu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye mainly because he's done nothing in England to be worthy of such expectations. I'm personally expecting very little but he can't be worse than Joselu 8 goals in 15 starts and 20 sub apps since he came here. 7 goals in 40 starts and 14 sub apps between Joselu & Gayle this season. Worth rolling the dice like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Personally think it's a bit harsh to say you're expecting little. Leicester wasn't the right fit for him. Hard to have someone of his profile leading the line when your gameplan is having Vardy on the shoulder of the last defender and playing the ball over the top for him. Maybe Leicester were expecting him to go to Arsenal that summer and were leaning towards a change of style, which obviously didn't happen? For us when we want a striker who's basically going to be the best player in the team and aimed towards giving him service, I think he's going to be brilliant.

AyeDubbleYoo 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Pre-Leicester he was lethal. In Portugal, that's about as relevant as Mitrovic scoring goals for Anderlecht. This is the sort of stuff i'm talking about, a lot of the expectations are based on practically nothing. Just don't be surprised if you get disappointed is all i'm saying.

Infinitely Content Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Slim seems like a really switched on guy going off the interview we conducted with him yesterday. I'm really excited about having him here and just have this feeling he will score plenty before the end of the season. We are already playing in a way which suits him more than Leicester ever did, and I'm sure Rafa will make slight tweaks to really see him flourish leading the line for us. Not sure we could have done better in terms of signing a striker in January than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
