Wilfred Ndidi

[Silva Fox]

Dear Mr Lampard can we loan Ngolo until January please. 

[les-tah]

I’d like to remind you all that Wes Morgan started his career as a defensive midfielder. #staycalm

From having the best injury record in the league, this year has been a disaster when it comes to key players being out injured.

Those shouting for the inclusion of Mendy, you’ll get your chance now

 

This will be a huge loss Imo.

 

Literally nobody would have Mendy in over Wilf, and nobody has said as such. He's allowed some praise for how he's started the season and people are right to say extending his deal looks top business, moreso now.

Bugger bugger bugger. The posters saying he has major flaws earlier in this thread can all fvck off. The only flaws are the ones we have without him in the team.

Hopefully he gets to make a tackle against Man City

Nobody choses Mendy over Ndidi but its either Mendy, Hamza or your old pal Anartey and of those 3 Mendy is clearly the best option to play whilst Wilf is injured.

[ealingfox]

How do we not have any money ffs, piss off.

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Need to sign about three more players before the end of the window now - at least.

[nettle]

Looks like we are going to be using the loan market maybe?

Not true, at least one poster thinks Mendy should start over Ndidi, Ndidi is a black hole apparently.

[Guest Manini]

Why do all our serious **** off injury’s always happen so innocuously as well by the way? Ricardo trots off the pitch after playing 90, yeah sorry lads, done his ACL there he’s buggered. 
 

N’didi as well. Didn’t even look like he was injured and now he’s crocked enough to be out until basically ****ing Christmas. 
 

Fuming me I’m going for an angry pace up and down my balcony. 

[Stevosevic]

So we're down to two players at CB we can realistically play in a PL game...

 

Evans and Soyuncu. We need to sign.

[I am an Ostrich]

Is James fit?

 

 

[CosbehFox]

Bad news. However it says a lot for this season / situation that I really ain’t that bothered. 
 

As said we need the squad in with some quality but simply the wage bill and dollar ain’t there. We are not alone in that either

Never walk angry on a balcony!

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Can Praet play that role? Surely he's mobile and physical enough.

[bfox]

Absolute shitter that is.. solutions and some luck needed now

[dayday]

I think the thought of spunking £30 million on Fofana even if it was on would be dead in the water now.

 

I can see the available funds going on 2/3 other players now.

[Ric Flair]

Ibrahima Diallo from Brest please 🙏🙏🙏

I think so. 

 

My biggest concern from this is the CB position tbh. We're literally down to two. 

 

We can't be playing Morgan in PL games.

[Brainy]

Do people seriously think we're going to blow money we barely have on replacing Wilf for a few months? We're not Man City ffs, unless we're lucky enough to snag someone on loan who is then happy to be back-up post-Christmas (think of anybody near his level who would be down for that?? ) then we're gonna have to make do with what we've got.

[jmono84]

Really gutted to hear about Ndidi!

Hamza isn’t up to it, he’s so

far off the pace defensively and not great when in possession of the ball. I don’t know what he offers in midfield.

Alright then fair - one poster - hardly the "all those" Col insinuated though, is it? One weird goblin?

Who's been shouting for the inclusion of Mendy? I'm a big fan and he's underrated by lots on here but only an idiot would want him starting ahead of Ndidi who is one of the best pure DMs in the world.
