Think Slimani would actually be well suited to us, and bag 10-15 especially with Glyfi. Realistically, who else are we going to sign at this point? They ballsed up by not getting a replacement sorted before Rom left. Can't see where Sky have actually said that though.
Maybe just maybe a striker was their first priority and their top 3 choices were not available at the time
Maybe they were told things may change come back later
I doubt very much that it was an oversight or a balls up
 

Lol Zat who were we going to be able to attract that was going to be of the same or similar level of quality to Lukaku that would be affordable and want to come here and play Europa League instead of waiting for a CL team?

Please tell us and then shoot an email off to Walsh because I'm sure he'd love to know who you have in mind.

Calling DCL a superior player to Slimani is nothing but a combination of duel Everton and Youth player biases rather than anything based on reason, logic, statistics or common sense. DCL can become a good player, I believe that, but he isn't better than Slimani right now.

Going from Lukaku to Slimani is akin to going from Knightsbridge to Luton. You seem to think there's no centre or choice in the entire world.

Anyone calling slimani better than even DCL (whose had 1-1.5 decent games) is wrong. That's a fact and backed up by stats which show him to have one motm award to slimani having zero in this league in how many games....

Yes, lets measure the worth of a striker by the number of MOTM awards he has, not the number of goals.

Chatting absolute TOSH.

That's a very confused post. We were never going to get a striker at the same level as Lukaku, so every striker coming in isn't going to compare favourably with him.

But you're dismissing a striker with a good PL goal / minutes ratio, whilst lauding young DCL as a better option on the basis of 1 MOTM award? DCL has scored 1 PL goal.........he's got great potential but no way is he capable of leading the line here all season and in 4 competitions, so we need an experienced striker to come in.
 
I call for wise spending most of all. We'll have a small net spend this summer at the end. He's had cash though...and wasted a lot of it.


Nope

His predecessor did that and were still stuck with those players that were practically trying to give away though.

As for wasting cash let's wait and see if he has wasted cash or not then

But in the meantime happy fishing
 
Being the best player on the pitch is worse than scoring a goal.

Intelligence lol

What a bizarre comment.

While Dominic Calvert Lewin was scoring a few goals for Northampton in League Two, Slimani was scoring 27 league goals in 33 games for Sporting.

To suggest that DCL is better because he has won ONE man of the match award. You're actually crackers.
