Seems a great asset at corners, picks out a spot, composed infront of goal. Great workrate not too sure about pace but he does not shy away from tackles. Perhaps best compared to an experienced Hamza. This. More skill, same PG rated chop-socky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is close to Ndidi in terms of tackling/interception stats, would be better competition for Wilf instead of Mendy & Choudhury. Unless we get him for his true value of around 10-15m then no it’s a waste of money. You don’t spend north of 20m, let alone the figures quoted in the merc, for a back up that’s more of a nice to have with the backup we currently have. We need Youri and Vardy’s understudies and we still need to pay for a RW no way we blowing money on a DM. I’d go as far to say it’s Youri backup we need over Vardy, knock Youri out and it don’t matter what we got up front they won’t be getting the ball anyway.

Don't tell the Algerians, they like to over look the fact he was born in France, grew up in France and played football in France, his mum is moroccan, I once said on Facebook that he was as much Moroccan as he was Algerian, I actually received death threats 😂😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayFox Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 Can’t see us spending £30/£40 million on a player (as good as he is) as cover/replacement for Ndidi while Mendy & Choudhury are here, who else would he replace in our midfield...

Heskey2011 Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 I like Hamz and Mendy, they've filled in for Ndidi well, really well, but they're not good enough, not just yet. If we lost Ndidi to a "big 6" in the summer, we would have needed to start courting the likes of Palhinha round about now. This is smart business.

It won't be for the sums being mentioned but still it will only become 'smart business' if Ndidi was to leave in the summer otherwise its a waste of money when other positions are required urgently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 Not needed at all and way too much! Summer is all about a striker and adding quality/depth to midfield. Edouard/otavio/Thauvin and under! Sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes_rule1978 Posted 5 February 2021 Share Posted 5 February 2021 (edited) Absolutely no way are we in for him, we have Ndidi plus too capable backups...and with the money they are asking he wouldn’t be happy to sit on the bench Edited 5 February 2021 by foxes_rule1978 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting shafted us for Slimani and Silva, two of the clubs worst pound for pound signings in our history. Not mentioning the fact they messed us about with Silva meaning he couldn't play for 5 months. If this was any other business, City would not be going anywhere near them.

I think that the Silva transfer was complicated by some last minute demands from the club president for more money . I think he’s gone now but your point is a fair one - I’m not sure we should be dealing with them certainly in multi million transfers either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that the 14 second debacle wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
