SLIMANI – KEEP HIM ? SELL HIM ?

What should we do with Islam Slimani ?

We paid around £30m for him the summer we won the league, from Sporting Lisbon, and to say he hasn’t had a great time here at Leicester City is an understatement !

The “Dragon Slayer” even managed to have a bad time on loan at Newcastle, finding himself banned for the final 3 matches of the season.

He clearly CAN score a goal, especially with his head, and we all remember one thunderbolt [out of the blue] against Liverpool in the cup… but we asked the 100%LCFC fans what THEY thought about him… was it time to sell him ?

We asked the fans… “SLIMANI… would you KEEP him and try to salvage his career at Leicester City, or would you let him go and simply try and recoup as much of his £30m transfer fee as possible ? If so HOW MUCH £££ would YOU let him go for ?”

Here is what THEY thought…

Ailsa Stepho
“Cut our losses And get whatever we can for him. We thought we were buying a superstar, instead we ended up with a donkey.”

Kris Reynolds
“Keep him and let ulloa go. Slimani is a quality player. It’s not his fault that currently we are completely one dimensional in our play. When Mahrez goes and we have to buy players to fill the gap we should have different attacking options. He will come good with a decent run in the team.”

Alex Munro
“Keep all day long. Our lack of a Plan B towards the end of last season showed us how much we missed his physical presence. Folk rip him – his goals to starts ratio last season was superb.”

Ellis Moore
“Ask yourself the question. Who is our target man now ? He’s playing vardy up top on his own every game and people are wondering why it isn’t sticking up front. We need someone who can add that hold up play. In my opinion I thought ulloa was very good at hold up play. Slimani was good in the air, but only when he was going for goal. Was he good at holding the ball up? Have we got any better now that they are both gone ? Should they have both gone at the same time ? If ulloa goes then Slimani should stay, if Slimani goes ulloa should stay. We need a target man.”

Tom Wignall
“sell him and recoupe some of the money we used to get him and then invest in a better striker that got some talent unlike him”

Robin Wells
“Probably keep and give him some game time pre season and then sell in next window if no good! To his credit he had not spat his dummy out like his fellow countryman. Give him one more chance.”

Notrub
“If he wants to stay and put a shift in, then keep him. But to be fair we need to play to his strengths to get the best of him. On his day, he is a talent, but never a £29 million talent. Be looking to recoup a third of that.”

Peter Swann
“We will need Plan B. He is a good header of a ball also so is Ulloa they will be good in the box if we have to rely on that game plan at the moment we only have Maguire who is good with his head but we cannot have him up that end .of the field all the time for set pieces or we will get court out on counter attacks”

Paul Ashcroft
“Keep him, he will come good. Not had a fair chance yet and everyone keeps knocking his confidence.”

Steven Sadler
“I’d take anything for him. 30mil was a massive waste of money”

Lee Riley
“Go. Too injury prone unfortunately and not a team player”

Thomas Hands
“Sell him never rated him when he came was a massive waste of £30mil”

Ian Rengger
“Keep him. Think he’s been a bit hard done by & needs regular game time. He was a great player before we bought him – let’s not do another Kramarić !!!”

Jimbo Chaplino
“It’s either him or Leo to go. We need one big target man”

Carl Liquorish
“Temperamental. Never fit. Doesn’t want to be here. Cheerio”

Jerry Wesley
“Depends if Puel is going to play Maguire up front !!!!!!”

Craig Bishop
“Keep him until we’ve got someone better”

Andrew Gould
“Can score all day long if he gets the right ball in to him keep him”

Neil Bennett
“Bit of a liability sell him and spend it wisely”

Nick Colman
“Go and be quick about it. Oh I just remembered you’ve no pace so you can’t be quick can you”

Tony West
“Keep him. He’s lethal with his head in the 6 yard box.”

Tom Clements
“Sell for around £20m”

Richard Berrington
“Get rid biggest waste of money ever”

Tyren Morley
“Lucky if you get £12m for him”
