Give it Kingy ‘til end of the season

https://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-make-several-visits-to-watch-striker-crystal-palace-also-send-scouts-for-player/ Leicester City and Crystal Palace are keeping a close eye on FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Djú. This claim comes from Danish outlet Bold, who state the Guinea-Bissau player is someone that Midtjylland would ideally want to earn a profit from, even if he has signed a new deal very recently. Clubs are taking notice of the 20-year-old, who has scored five times in the Superliga and four goals in European competitions this season. Leicester City and Crystal Palace have scouted the player in recent weeks and officials have been present to take a ‘closer look’ at the talent. It is Leicester City who seem more keen and have made several trips to Denmark to watch the starlet, having also scouted Franculino in the league game against Lyngby at the weekend. As well as Crystal Palace, Besiktas have also been mentioned as a potential destination for the African in recent weeks. Previously, Bayer Leverkusen and Torino have been interested in him. Since joining Midtjylland in the summer of 2023, Franculino has scored 27 goals and has 11 assists in all competitions for the Danish club.

I was wondering where the Tom Cannon money had gone…

Monaco offered more than that in January

I think Ruud just doesn’t trust youth / doesn’t want to bother with the risk (even though our current attackers are doing fvck all anyway)

Right wing or upfront I think - can play on the left as well I think where he plays tends to depend on whether someone else like King or Monga are in the team A front 4 with the below would be filthy: Evans, Briggs, Monga King

https://soccernet.ng/2025/02/atletico-madrid-betis-monaco-nigerian.html Leicester City and Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has emerged as a key summer target for Atletico Madrid and Real Betis, with AS Monaco also showing strong interest in securing his signature, Soccernet.ng reports. The 28-year-old, who has been a crucial part of Leicester’s squad in recent years, is expected to leave the club at the end of the season despite signing a new contract last summer. Atletico Madrid, in particular, are keen to reinforce their midfield as they look to find a long-term replacement for club captain Koke Resurrección, who is entering the latter stages of his career. The anticipated departure of Thomas Lemar has also increased the urgency for reinforcements at the Metropolitano. Atleti’s sporting department has been actively scouting midfielders over the past few months, with Mallorca’s Samu Costa among the names on their shortlist. However, Ndidi’s ability to break up play and provide defensive stability has made him a serious candidate for the role, according to a report by CaughtOffside. The Super Eagles star is not new to interest from Spanish clubs with Barcelona previously linked with his services but no concrete moves followed. Atletico are not alone in their pursuit of Ndidi. Fellow La Liga side Real Betis are also in the market for a defensive midfielder, with reports suggesting they are preparing for the departure of Johnny Cardoso, who is linked with a summer switch to Tottenham Hotspur. Meanwhile, Ligue 1 side AS Monaco have been tracking Ndidi for some time and reportedly made a £20 million bid for him during the winter transfer window. That offer, which included an obligation to buy and additional performance-based payments, was turned down by Leicester, who opted to keep the midfielder as they push to retain their Premier League status. Despite Leicester’s stance in January, it is widely expected that Ndidi will depart in the summer, with all three clubs preparing fresh approaches. Ndidi has endured a stop-start campaign due to injury, with a hamstring problem limiting his involvement earlier in the season. However, he has recently regained fitness and is beginning to feature more regularly under Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Although his playing time has been somewhat restricted this season, Leicester still value his experience and leadership, which made them reluctant to sell in January. However, with his contract running until 2027, the club could demand a substantial fee should they decide to cash in during the upcoming transfer window.

We absolutely did We just got away with it on a technicality

3-0!

2-0!! Great goal

I don't think that should be a 2nd yellow at all

Hermansen and Bilal will probably be sold Ward, Iversen, and Vardy to be released Ricardo, Faes, Kristiansen, Soumare, and maybe Okoli and Daka to be sold / loaned GK: Stolarczyk RB: Justin, Woyo CB: Vestergaard, Coady, Souttar, Nelson LB: Thomas CM: Winks, Skipp, Ndidi, Choudhury RW: Fatawu, McAteer, Ayew AM: LW: Mavididi, Alves, De Cordova-Reid ST:

I would hope after 10-15 games of the system he has us playing clearly not working and not being suitable for the players we have that he would actually look to try and change it Unfortunately I don't think he will We will carry on as we are with the OAP front 3 and go down with a wimper

I find it absolutely hilarious

One thing I really liked about him is that he actually engaged Sterling in the 1v1 (and seemed like he won it everytime) rather than standing him up like Justin was doing

Yeah, also his first ever start in professional football

Most chances created whilst also having the least touches in the match Nice to see him get stuck in on the defensive side of the game and doing well FotMob - 7.5 WhoScored - 6.9 Sofascore - 7.3 Expected goals - 0.09 Expected assists - 0.47 3 chances created - *most in match 100% pass completion (25/25) - *highest in match 46 touches - *lowest in match 1/3 successful dribbles 1/7 accurate crosses 2/2 tackles won 2 recoveries 4/6 ground duels won 1 foul won

Todays Games - Saturday 15th February Championship: Will Alves (6.9 - 90 mins) - Cardiff City 1-1 Bristol City Hamza Choudhury (7.2 - 90 mins) - Sheff Utd 1-0 Luton Town League Two: Brandon Cover (6.6 - 11 mins) - Fleetwood Town 0-1 Bromley National League: Arjan Raikhy (6 mins) - Tamworth 1-1 Woking National League North: Oli Ewing (90 mins) - Buxton 0-1 Radcliffe Northern Premier League Premier Divison: Ben Grist (90 mins) - Worksop Town 3-2 Hebburn Town Scottish Prem: Tom Wilson-Brown (unused sub) - Kilmarnock 3-1 St Johnstone

Something to nil loss

Time for a sub or two Ruud, the OAPs need to come off for a nap

Its a washed Sterling but Woyo has dominated him
