Bezzanator89 Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Gutted for him with his injury, he looked really good and an ideal stand-in/cover for Wilfred Ndidi. Hopefully his injury isn't serious and we seriously consider offering him a contract extension.
OadbyBlue Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 He’s been impressive, good player to have in the squad hopefully he mendys quick

Mendy reads the game better and keeps a cool head. Besides Hamza is not strictly a holding player like wilf and mendy, i would describe him as more of a deep central midfielder rather than an out and out DM Agree hundred percent, Hamza is better higher up the pitch closing down aggressively... something you can’t really do as the deepest centre mid
THE INSTRUCTOR Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Played really well feel sorry the guy hope he’s back quickly
Fox in the North Posted 22 January 2020 Posted 22 January 2020 Has Rodgers said anything about his injury?
Blue ROI Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Bit unfortunate to have got injured early because he was having a fine game up to that. N'Didi is still top dog in most aspects but Mendy's ability to find space and make himself free for a pass is outstanding. He's destined to be the career that never was though I fear. Not just with Leicester but he may only ever be a bit part player in another side too.
HighPeakFox Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Given what has happened to him since coming to the club, I think it is fair to suggest his attitude must be very good.

He was excellent and really helped the defenders get the ball out of our own half better than Wilf can.
foxile5 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 So unlucky with us. Had he not broke his ankle he'd have been an important player for us. But of course we'd never have gotten Wilf.
Wizerud Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Hard to believe he's been with us for 3.5 years already and played so little, relatively. But his recent run shows Brendo has confidence in him so that's a huge positive. He's more than serviceable and maybe we've yet to see the best of him. Hope he can come back this season.
Vindaloo FOX Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Always rated him, would be a starter for other prem clubs for sure.
Katy Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 He was brought in to be the next Kante and of course, that was never going to happen. I like him, I hope his injury is not too serious.

I like him, I hope his injury is not too serious. Actually, we were originally evaluating both Kante and Mendy in the summer of 2015, with the latter looking like the more likely signing. We went back for him the following year when Kante departed for Chelsea.

We got Wilf though so all good for us.

Always Next Year Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 Played his best game for a long time, pity he had to go off.
Meat and 2 veg Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 If we can’t get him to sign a contract we will end up having to pay £15-20m on another back up to wilf.!

Strangely, he may offer a better option in the CL group games then he does in the prem ... I worry about his physical stature against a lot of PL sides ....

Abso-blinking-lutely! Better the devil you know etc. For me now though is the question of whether he'll want to sign an extension/new contract. He's on a free in the summer, there'll be no shortage of interested parties (certainly not after last night's performance, when he well and truly put himself in the shop window) - I reckon he'll have regular playing options that may well be of greater interest to him.

Agree. He deserves to be playing every week !
Tom12345 Posted 23 January 2020 Posted 23 January 2020 It may be wishful thinking, but hopefully Mendy can sign a 1 year extension.

If we had another tall midfielder that wouldn't be a problem.
