genkfan Posted 25 May 2017 Share Posted 25 May 2017 If I read this topic can't say I was wrong when you signed him. He's a terrific player, and such a nice person. Our clubtv came to Leicester and interviewed him, mostly about his time in Genk but also about his start in Leicester and how he sees his future. It's in English so I think you guys will understand (jk). Hope you guys have a better season next year, but after the title last year and Champions league this year, I don't think anyone's complaining. Genk still has one or two more games to reach UEFA-cup, starting this saturday in a local derby against Sint Truiden. We had a similar season, we didn't qualify in the top 6 by 1 point (we've got play-offs) and now we're playing the final of play-off 2 for a game against the 4th in play-off 1 with a UEFA-ticket on the line. So we dissapointed in the league altough press and opponents say we've played the best football in Belgium. But a crap coach cost us lots of points before Christmas. We did do good in Europe, a quarter-final is the furthest we ever got in Europe. Oh yeah, if your management screws up and should sell Ndiddi, don't come knocking for Berge, I want to keep on to that gem for a little bit longer.

The central midfielder is currently stuck in Nigeria, having travelled to his homeland following the end of the 2016-2017 season. Ndidi is expected to fly with other Super Eagles players and officials to Paris for their next match against Togo on June 1.

Everything that I've heard about Berge has been positive, it looks like he will have a bright future indeed. The quality of players that Genk have produced over the years is amazing. Thank you very much for the interview and I hope your season ends on a high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 25 May 2017 Share Posted 25 May 2017 Having seen Wilf play about three or four games (when we lost heavily actually...a real baptism of fire for him), I could still see we'd signed a gem. I wouldn't be surprised if his value has already increased by a third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 26 May 2017 Share Posted 26 May 2017 He seems to be a disarmingly pleasant and humble guy who seems to have fitted into our club like a hand to a tailored glove and clearly has immense talent that can only become more apparent as he works on his weaknesses. A wonderful asset in my view. Even when short of his best form, he's still there to be seen, trying all he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need more quality to complement his talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weller54 Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 Is it just me? Or does anyone else also think Wilf has been pretty dreadful in all his preseason matches?... Looks a shadow of the player he was at the end of last season and in danger of losing his starting place to James? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets taken on far too easily at times. He's a player well worth persisting with though as he's young, should get better and is capable of doing wonderful things. Do wonder who Shaky will start with though after the Iborra transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quite weak in the tackle at times and really struggles to win the ball cleanly at the first time of asking. Form definitely tailed off at the end of last season too. Still, a fantasy talent with so much potential but I hope he is rotated a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this potential bullshite virtually every player we have under 26 is labelled with potential they need to start delivering , I don't want potential I want actual talent thats actually delivered step up or step out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tailed off a bit towards the end of the season, but the vast majority of young players are inconsistent. Ndidi has been remarkably consistent so far, given his age- a couple of average competitive games and a naff pre-season isn't much to worry about in my book.

Guest Posted 1 August 2017 Share Posted 1 August 2017 I liked him calling out the team for it's poor display against Wolves. A lot of people on here made the excuse about it being Pre-season at least he understood that was a poor performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bound to tail off. I think he's one player who suffers when games are not competitive and slow paced. He thrives in the frantic nature of a game.

Looks a shadow of the player he was at the end of last season and in danger of losing his starting place to James? I think he looked one of our best 1st half versus Luton. Everyone was poor versus Wolves. He was decent in the Asia trophy. Against Luton, he played with Iborra and notably Iborra played as the shielding player and Ndidi as the expansive one. In theory he has the raw capabilities to be a box-to-box powerhouse like Yaya Toure in his peak, but needs the chance to play that way with someone else shielding. So that was very interesting to see, although he needs a long run in the side playing that way to nail it IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of our young'uns, I think Gray, Ndidi and Chilwell have big futures. We do seem to hoard younger players who it's quite obvious are not going to cut it our level though- we always have.
