Optimistic Nut Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This would actually be a belting signing. Rafa's first choice before we went down so he's clearly liked him a while. Just shit he's took so long that we'll miss out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Loan fee £500k more than Sturridge’s. Guessing his wages lower for us to bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 So where is the 20m record breaking transfer? We have basically loaned 1 out, and 1 in injured. He will likely miss minimum 3 games already. We've loaned out a player Benitez won't even have in the squad for a player he wants, that's win win for me like. Also minimum 3 games?, based on what? We only have 3 games in the next 30 days. He's rumoured to be out for either 5-6 days or 2 weeks. 3 games include tonight. Then will need to get fit for next game so likely wont be named as a starter and slim chance makes the bench? And Leicester when we play them will have loan agreement he can't face former club. Anyone we sign today would miss tonight. In fact anyone we'd have signed yesterday or the day before would miss tonight since Benitez doesn't rush players into the team before preparing them in training. Yeah but im looking at him being lucky to be ready for the Man Utd game. And obviously missing Leicester. Its not about being a pessimist or a moaner. Simply is it enough? In my eyes we need a few more yet,Or I dont think it will be enough. Swansea out of the bottom 3, WBA strengthened. We cant win home games. Id be a bit worried if we are pinning our hope on Slimani. 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Didn't the Mirror report Slimani was the guy who'd break our transfer record? Tbf, he would if we were signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Slimani had been approached earlier on but was holding on as he’d been told Chelsea might come for him. I think this will get done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a overly simplistic way of looking at it and the reality is quite different. Also WBA have signed one extremely injury prone striker on loan.

Aye, still on the plus side at least he gets to play at St Jame's instead of that rat hole Chelsea play in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before today we were nailed on to go down. Obviously it might be too little too late, but at least it's something. If I was told we were getting Slimani or Sturridge this window I'd have been more than pleased. Just a shame it couldn't have happened at the start of the month rather than the end.

Teasy Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Seems like before now Leicester would only sell and we're to cheap to pay the £20m+ they wanted. Now they're prepared to loan since nobody else has come in with the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A loan now, with a sale at the end of the season would probably see them get a good chunk of their money back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
