With clear video evidence showing he kicked Craig Dawson after the player trod on his foot, a 3-match ban appears certain. So, the final totals for Slimani's NUFC "career" would be: 1 start, 130 total minutes, 0 goals, 1 assist, and 1 suspension. His initial injury cost us more of his minutes than the suspension and kept him from reaching the form we had expected. We can only thank the powers above that we didn't need him to save us in the end, because we'd be going down in that case. We should probably be just as relieved to see the end of his loan as we are regretful that we can't make Kenedy permanent. Such are loans, and we shouldn't need any next year, except the loan to permanent type that should see us hang on to Dubravka, already knowing he's worth the investment. The search for a striker who can do the job continues for the second year in a row. No idea where he'll come from. We'll need a backup too, as I expect we'll ship Joselu, Gayle, and Mitro in the summer.
