escape2victory 101 Posted 24 June 2020 Report Share Posted 24 June 2020 Yep don’t mind this one. Better than Mendy, so improves the squad. Carvalho, Praet and Choudhury is decent replacement options to rotate midfield next season. Just need a real quality winger and CB and then will have a decent squad for league and Europe 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Bossman Blessed It 373 Posted 24 June 2020 Report Share Posted 24 June 2020 Seems good business especially if Mendy is heading out this summer. Experience at the highest level and a much more robust midfield option than either Hamza or Mendy when we need to hold on. An improvement on the squad that won't cost a fortune.

ALC Fox 1,352 Posted 24 June 2020 Report Share Posted 24 June 2020 How are we going to set up with him in the side? Is his supposed lack of mobility going to affect the way we play significantly? If he plays will we need to play Wilf or Hamza as well? He's a player with pedigree but I'm suspicious as to why his big moves never materialised. I'm definitely undecided about this one.

MrMean 48 Posted 24 June 2020 Report Share Posted 24 June 2020 (edited) I know you guys are not ganna like this but could this be seen as a ndidi replacement for next season? I cant see why we would need another defensive minded midfielder on the bench when we have Hamza and mendy. Edited 24 June 2020 by MrMean Link to post Share on other sites

I cant see why we would need another defensive minded midfielder on the bench when we have Hamza and mendy. He's not an Ndidi replacement. To be honest, to contradict myself a bit, he's not really an outright ball winning player. He's much better on the ball than Ndidi and passes very well. The Iborra comparison someone made wasn't miles off. He's a big guy that looks to impose himself on a midfield. He definitely is a "defensive" midfielder but he's more a halfway between the deeper role Ndidi plays and a playmaker like Tielemans. He's something we don't really have at the moment. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Plays everyday at lunch (when the kids are at school) and updates me on how many touches he had that week..... his record is 5 touches in a week so far. i'm not holding out much hope of him being the next Jamie Vardy. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
