Callabinho Posted 15 December 2016 Share Posted 15 December 2016 We've had some guys out in South America apparently. Possibly where our winger could come from? A few roomies floating around that we're going back in for Kean too. I'd like to think we will go for a striker too.....we won't get buy on Okazaki, Vards and Ulloa whilst Slims away.....

reynard Posted 15 December 2016 Share Posted 15 December 2016 Looks like we have our back up right back then? "With Nigeria struggling for a reliable right-back in their opening World Cup qualifier against Zambia, Ndidi was drafted to fill the role. " Let's hope he's decent but just as important let's hope Claudio thinks he's ready and doesn't have him lingering around the under 23s for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky Posted 15 December 2016 Share Posted 15 December 2016 I don't understand the 'we need to buy proven Premiership players' comments. Who in the right mind is going to sell proven premiership players in January? Also, we have made all of our success by signing players with a point to prove. Players from lower reaches with the desire to succeed. Mark my words, this lad looks exceptional and I think he will make a huge difference to our team.

We need a creative midfielder now - Possibly Sigurdsson or Ilicic.

breadandcheesebrother Posted 16 December 2016 Share Posted 16 December 2016 Thought this was interesting off whoscored. He's hopefully very similar to kanté, if not quite as polished: "At his age, Ndidi remains very much a diamond in the rough, but his impact in midfield ensured Genk secured their place in the next round of the Europa League as they topped Group F. Ndidi made more tackles and interceptions combined (71) than any other player in the group stages, signifying his tenacity in pursuit of possession and impressive energy levels. Kante’s greatest quality is his ability to dominate the midfield, often covering as much ground as two men, and his sale was always going to negatively impact Leicester. The Foxes remain a team who will look to play a direct style, noted in that their average possession this season (44.5%) ranks lowly in the Premier League, but the lack of quality ball winning midfielder hindered their approach. Indeed, four attempts on goal from counter-attacking situations from 16 league games this season, a huge drop from the 18 attempts last term, suggests they have missed the necessary player to help soak up pressure before aggressively robbing opponents to catch teams on the break. Given his performances in Europe this season, Ndidi is the player Leicester require and it’s little surprise to see them look to push the deal over the line as quickly as possible. That being said, there is work to be done on Ndidi’s game that Ranieri will hope to improve upon. A 79.5% pass success rate is low for a midfielder, but then the Nigerian’s stand out trait is not to keep the team ticking over. Genk had four counter-attacking attempts on goal in their six Europa League group games, so their style is not too dissimilar to Leicester’s, which is naturally a boost to the Premier League champions. Ndidi will undoubtedly strengthen this Foxes team with the youngster hoping to prove capable of filling the huge gap Kante left when he departed for Chelsea over the summer."

frany104 Posted 16 December 2016 Share Posted 16 December 2016 I like the look of this deal. From what I've seen of his highlights and the game vs sassuolo, he looks a very good player and is only going to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
