Sly Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 Safe to say, he fits into our worst ever / wasted money XI with the likes of Slimani, Silva, Musa and Casino Jimmy. 2
TommyK Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 Good luck to him. I just hope he passes the medical.

If we had put him in straight into our first team, he would probably be playing as a major part of our backline right now!!! Sending him to Celtic was not a poor move, it gave him game time and allowed us to continue to use a very sound CB pairing with an understudy available. His injury at Celtic has totally wrecked his career, he has never got over it, and I suspect he never will. He was a quality player when he arrived, the scouts did their job and found two exceptionally good CBs, he just has not recovered from the injury, mentally or physically. 2

You're right - he's worst than Slimani, Silva and Musa. 12 Million. No PL appearances. Says it all. Edited 12 January 2022 by TommyK
BroughtonFox Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 To be fair I’m not sure we should be allowed to do this if we’re struggling to get 13 fit players and he’s a registered player? 1

Since when did Adrian Durham approve transfers? Am sure the club are trying to get one in to replace him or they'll just move mendy back into the squad.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 Why was he in the squad ahead of anyone? Rogers was obviously never going to play him, I'd wager he'd rather play the under 14s girls goalkeeper at cb than benkovic. Very odd situation, has been for years glad he's going for everyone involved.
Buzzell Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 We must be lining a centre back up then surely?
dannythefox Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 About time nothing against him but we need to start moving players on who aren’t in our plans

If we preferred Ndidi and Hamza at CB then surely naming Mendy in the squad to cover them makes more sense.

I don't know who it is, just that we will try everything possible to get someone in. My fear is though, our recruitment in the last 2 January windows has been honking under Rodgers so I'm nervous. 3
Le Renard Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 He must have been homesick and didn't like the cultural delights of metropolitan Leicester.

In all seriousness, it wouldn't surprise me if we are continuing to pay all/some of his wages so he gets a free hit to try and start over. Frees up a space for us and increases the urgency to recruit. (But Choudhury at CB 😍, I wanna see more) 1

LFox99 Posted 12 January 2022 Posted 12 January 2022 Good riddance if so. He obviously wasn't ever going to have a career with us after the recent comments by Brendo how he's unavailable through personal reasons.
