From reading it it appears that a blabber mouth Aston Villa scout may have cost us the chance to sign him. Typical Villa.

Quote Grujic loan terms revealed The Sun claim Cardiff City’s loan move for Grujic is a done deal, and contains a rather noticeable clause. They suggest that the Bluebirds have agreed to a deal where the 21-year-old has to play or City will otherwise have to pay the Merseysiders a large cash penalty. If true they can have him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is are either parties interested in getting him or selling him? I find that doubtful, he couldn't wait to get away from us and would have gone after his first season had it not been for injury (IMO). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Quote Besiktas in talks for Leicester's Islam Slimani By Alan Myers and Rob Dorsett Last Updated: 17/01/18 12:20pm Leicester City's Algerian striker Islam Slimani could be set for a move to Besiktas Besiktas want to sign Leicester City striker Islam Slimani, Sky Sports News understands. The Besiktas president, Fikret Orman, was at King Power Stadium on Tuesday night to see Slimani play against Fleetwood in the FA Cup. Talks with the Turkish club regarding the potential sale of the player are ongoing, though Leicester are yet to comment on the unfolding situation. Slimani became Leicester's club-record signing after arriving at the King Power for £28m following the title-winning season of 2015/16. Despite being with the Foxes for little over 18 months, Slimani could be allowed to leave after manager Claude Puel admitted he has too many strikers at the club. Leicester are prepared to listen to offers for all of their front men, except Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki. The Foxes will listen to offers for Slimani but won't sell their record signing on the cheap The Foxes, however, will not sell the Algerian international on the cheap, and he remains part of club plans for the remainder of the season. Slimani has made 17 appearances for Leicester so far during the current campaign, though has only started one Premier League game since September. In all competitions, the 29-year-old has come up with five goals and one assist. Leonardo Ulloa is another player that Leicester are prepared to let go, if the deal is right. Sky sources understand Aston Villa have made an approach to take him on loan, but a number of other clubs are also interested in the Argentine.

If I can't get away I may as well take a few million extra pounds. lol, not unheard of to be honest. Anyway, times change, he probably wanted to get away thinking he would go on to world domination, but it has not panned out how he expected. He was a star here, in a similar way to Kodjia now was/is.

Last season the comparisons were definitely there to be made as they were both our only source of goals and we were in trouble with them. Benteke was truly special though, best striker I've seen play for us, hands down. I know that you should never go back but I'd take him on loan in a heartbeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree....No thanks, don't like his overall attitude. He expects everything on a plate......Klopp identified his lack of movement.....its got worse not better, since he left us. I seen him gesticulating in his last game thowing his hands down and forward to his team mates implying it should be there. Not for me ,thanks. up 3/4 mill....or loan.I might change my mind.
