    Thought we might have kept one of Slim or Leo as a 'big man' option tbf

    I did but I cant see Puel going down that route. If we are that desperate I think we will end up doing the old Matt Elliott trick with Harry Maguire

    Iheanacho is taller then Ulloa and the same height as Slimani - seems smaller then both of them as he doesn't have their build but I am literally comparing a kid to grown men.

    One player that we do have that is actually taller, has the build and experience playing as a striker is Iborra.

    Iheanacho is nowhere near the height of Ulloa

    According to Wiki, Ulloa and Iheanacho are both 1.85m, Slimani is 1.88m

    You're right, it's a terrible shirt. To be expected as it's Joma!

    My head is with King leaving but sentimentaly it's sad to see him leave us.

    I completley understand King wants to play as he still has alot to offer to some clubs. Mendy is back in the summer and Puel has managed him before and said he is welcome back. So once the summer comes around King will be behind Ndidi, Iborra, Silva, James and Mendy

    Just the sentimental reason im sad to see Kingy go. No other word for him then legend for what he achieved here. People knock him but his stats and achievements here are better then any other player to play for us

    Credit to him for not refusing the loan, hope he gets game time ... after Saturday <ok>

    Got us out of relegation trouble a few seasons ago, no doubt he'll help them do the same.

    Summer signings 2016

    Luis Hernandez- left
    Ron-Robert Zieler- Left
    Nampalys Mendy- Out on loan
    Ahmed Musa- Out on loan
    Bartosz Kaputska- out on loan
    Islam Slimani- Out on loan

    We really screwed up that summer when the club was in the strongest position in its history. Our recruitment this season has been much better. Whether is was Shakey picking the players this season or not

    I quite liked Luis Hernandez - his throw was insane

    Would have done the job if he played in his correct position - he was a CB asked to play as a full back because we got rid of Moore and De Laet and never replaces either of them.

    We still haven't tbh. I don't know why we don't have another specialist RB - the only two we have is Simpson and Thandi who is 17.

    Amartey is ok but we need more then that - we were linked with some wonderkid from Luton that I am sad we didn't follow up on.

    West Brom wanted £30M for Jonny Evans in January

    He has a relegation release clause of £3M
