No coincidence that Ndidi played a blinder when not paired with Mendy.

 

Him and Tielemens were fantastic, promising times.

 

Ndidi is a destroyer, it probably suits his game when there is more emphasis to do that more and try and create less. It's also good for Tielemans as he is given more of a license to be more creative knowing that Ndidi is covering him. 

 

A bit like Simpson and Mahrez were a great foil for each other as they covered for each other's weaknesses by letting the other get on with what they were best at.

They would still get £20m for him as that is the going rate for pretty mediocre players now, in the same manner we would easily recoup what we paid for Maddison who in some peoples eyes has flopped. I think £25m with add ons would get him and that would be a massive coup for us or anyone else. I hope we can get him as putting my usual over reaction to one side, his skill set is crucial to our progression under this regime.

Who in their right mind is arguing that Maddison has flopped?

There's been a fair few insinuate he's a show pony and wouldn't be too bothered if he moved on. I would only be letting him go for double what we paid as there's evidently a lot of ability and technically he's superb. I think Monaco are all over the place the last year or so and Tielemans might well have flopped but his stats still suggest this season that he's been one of their better players, he certainly will command at least what they paid for him but i'd imagine much much more if a club like us want him desperately.

He's gonna be an even better Mark Davies was for us in League One and we're gonna be left heartbroken aren't we?

He's going to save Puel's job, sign for Arsenal then be replaced by Mendy in August lol

Long term target, and comments of Europe were years ago from the owners

 

Can you find those recent quotes or any evidence of a top 6 push? Because all they've spoken about for the last two seasons is transition, consolidation, being self sustaining and being competitive at the right end of the table. Nothing has been said about breaking the top six, Everton and West Ham are pumping in money left right and centre and we're selling to buy. Even the manager said we can't compete financially, so that tells you where we stand on the money front.

 

We've got one of the lowest net spends in the league the last couple of years, we've banked most of the profit from the champions league to pay for off the field stuff. There have been no signs of any push for breaking the top six because that takes hundreds of millions being spent consistently or a massive stroke of luck, which will run out.

 

Any push for the top 6 comes from slow growth of the club. They might want it but it isn't happening over night and we're not going to be spending big to try and achieve it.

Technically that is years ago, but still, I agree.  18 months down the lane and Shakespeare has still failed to take us to Europe again

 

A target is just that, a target. Its supposed to be difficult to achieve.  Since then we've lost Mahrez, Kelechi still hasnt turned out how we'd have hoped and we've been reliant on vardy who is struggling for fitness and finishing sometimes aswell

Still a chance of Europe this season.  I think we will know after the next 5 games whether we are still in the running or not

 

Hopefully we can go on a run now, get a few wins and pip 7th.  Still up for grabs imo

that would definitely be our best chance of retaining the likes of tielemans...

 

we would really need to pay whatever is needed to get him. id also expect there to be a champions league team release clause that would come into effect 18-24 months down the line.

Definitely.  Big wages, big transfer fee, promise him the f***** world, get him in

 

If we're serious about stated ambitions we cant be going into next season without having a good go at getting him, or get someone in who is the next best thing if its not possible

 

I'm getting too excited about him too quickly, but on Sunday I think we had a glimpse of what it coudl do for us having someone like that in the midfield, its a game changer

 

Dont ever want to go back to the Mendy/Ndidi partnership, much as I like them both

Potential Champions!!? 

... We were playing The Spuds?

Stop acting like spurs aren’t in the title race just because you don’t like them. They’re 5 points behind city with a game in hand and 5 points behind Liverpool.

Wouldn’t matter if they were 5 points ahead to be fair though mate, they specialise in capitulation lol
