Yes Ndidi ?

[Amokachi1995]

Looks like there's enough interest in him to make the wages pretty steep. Will probably be his last big contract at 27 too.

I'd rather get someone from the French second division that nobody has heard of. But for under £30m this time.

 

[maccavennie]

Any player who is missing over 10 games in a season with an unknown injury needs to be swerved.

Always liked him as a player since he signed for Leicester but we simply need fit, athletic, robust players who are available week in, week out.

 

[Bluebonic]

With the strong Wilfred Ndidi links coming out, I thought it may be a nice distraction from all the (no money) negativity to discuss him.

The injuries are a concern: https://www.transfermarkt.com/wilfred-ndidi/verletzungen/spieler/274839

But it seems like when fit hes on the pitch as much as possible: https://www.whoscored.com/Players/327683/History/Wilfred-Ndidi

Would be be Gana's replacement, backup or midfield partner?

I think the key here is for him to join the club asap with Dyche then putting him on the DCL rehab program.

Its a Yes Ndidi from me

No more sick notes please! We need a few Tarkowski types who shake it off and carry on. That will allow us to build a reliable core for the first team. Right back aside, we have that now for our defence. We need a few for our midfield / wings.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

As many have already pointed out - decent player, but out injured too often. Pass.

 

[kiss the crest]

To me it's him or Gomes on a new contract both similar with injuries

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

And proceeded to sign Dele lol

I didn't say he practiced what he preached lol

 

[johnjoeefc]

I didn't think he was ever considered a good player? I thought all the kante replacements Leicester have had were considered flops unless I'm missing something here

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I heard Ndidi’s dogs’ died

I can confirm.
Ndidi did

 

[GoldenToffee]

Two year contract with an option for a third would be a no-brainer for me.

Nice big physical lad that gets plenty of goals and assists from midfield.

Give Gana an extra year, adios to Gomes and Alli (save £200k + a week), ship Doucoure off to Saudi (up to around £350k a week saved) and get Ndidi in for around half of Doucoure's wages at most, likely less.

Gomes and Alli do not need replacing, so it'd mean three out, one in, over a million a month saved on wages.

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

His injury record isn’t as bad as many. On a free I think he’d be a brilliant addition. Would really improve the midfield

 

[Groucho]

we really need somebody we can rely on, injuries happen to every player, but this fella seems to have had a lot.

Agree.

Gbamin anyone?

Plenty of goals and assists ? In his last 2 Premier league seasons he got 2 goals in 61 games which is the same as what gueye has got in his last 3 games and he got 1 assist.

People really need to use perspective when talking about goals and assists and looking at championship form, it doesn't equate well in the Prem.

You can look back to the season before those 2 as well and he's got 3 goals in 97 prem appearances. That is not a goalscoring midfielder

Missed over 50 games the last 3 seasons, we really need somebody we can rely on, injuries happen to every player, but this fella seems to have had a lot.

Considering that we will potentially have a smaller squad next season, we cant afford to waste a spot on somebody so unreliable.

Good player, but im not sure we can afford to take the chance on him.

Wages and lack of choices would probably determine any transfer like this.

 

[Simon Buttle]

He is a decent player and on a free it makes sense but his injury record is on par with DCL so it would be a bit of a risk imo.

 

[trueblue84]

Agree.

Gbamin anyone?
