Isn't Slimani still on Leicester's books? Why would they loan to us when they've already got him on loan at Monaco? I don't see what they'd gain from it unless we paid a sizable loan fee (which we really shouldn't for a player of this quality), and they'd be strengthening a domestic rival. Even if they're well ahead of us on the table, I don't see why they'd be motivated to help us in any way.

Really can’t see this happening. Giroud the same. Both just scream short term panic, not long term planning.

Am I the only one who doesn’t mind this?

In all honesty if we go for a loan and only a loan it makes sense. I can't see Leicester running the risk of us going on a run because of help they gave us though

He is actually quite good in Monaco now, good hold up play as well
Not sure whether he can do it (again) in PL though....

A much better player than he showed at Leicester. Having said that I think we could and should do better but then again we have 49 hours until the transfer window shuts

I refuse to believe this is is a striker we're seriously targeting... ?

Because he is not getting in the Monaco team under the new manager I would say.

I don’t actually think he’s all that bad...

was an absolutely monster at Sporting and was never the right fit for Leicester. Also seems to be rediscovering his Sporting form at Monaco.

as a Kane backup and someone who offers us something else, plus would be cheap, think we could do a lot worst tbh

Used to really like him at Sporting and really wanted him here years ago.

Looks like I was wrong about that and he's gone downhill ever since the Leicester move.

May end up with him when it's all said and done though...

i thought slimani looked amazing before his move to leicester, maybe he just was not the right fit for them plus he was not the only one playing crap the season he joined them.
