Wilfred Ndidi

Hopefully, we have our targets lined up if this happens.

I mean, you imagine so. Especially with Enzo saying that targets to replace potential targets have been identified but this is Leicester after all so who knows.

My non supporting Leicester mate said to me last night 'How pissed off are you Wilfred Ndidi is going to Forest'. It's funny how the perception from the outside is he's going to be a massive loss to us.

Him and Nacho I’d gamble on taking us back to the PL and signing new deals.  Forest might be a better move for a season but I’m not sure it is long-term.  
 

Preat, Albrighton, Vardy, Vestegard and Hamza will all likely leave on frees in 2024 in any case.

Boils down to all his ‘baller’ pics on insta for me. If he’s had his wages cut by 50% and a prem team can give him them back then off you pop

Exactly. I mean, how many people willing take a pay cut?

He isn't stupid.

 

He will know there is no way the club can turn down 10-15m for a player with 12 months left.

 

As long as he gets money to spend, it will be fine. 

 

 

 

I also don't believe for one second he'd keep Ndidi over a midfielder with an ACTUAL attacking skillset. 

 

He's full of praise for Ndidi because Ndidi is working hard and he's not a terrible man manager. 

 

But he's also not oblivious. There's no chance he thinks Wilf is really the answer in that position and goals against Tranmere and Burton aren't going to convince him otherwise.

This still doesn't bother me. Sorry. Ndidi isn't the future of the club anymore. 

 

Nobody can convince me he's turned a corner after a handful of OK performances at a lower standard of football. He's also a square peg in a round hole in the current system. 

 

£10m+ and we've done OK here, we'll pass Forest on the way up, and get a baller in to replace him.

I really hope that this time next season we are picking off some of forests talent while they are planning for life in the championship.

 

I think about this often😂

I hope so.

 

Unless he thinks KDH, Praet, Cassedei and maybe Angus can play there?

 

 

I dont want any beef, but who the hell is angus?

[Tuna]

Bollocks to it, keep him.

[richardsfoxes]

If we get a decent fee for him I dont mind seeing him go, whats the most suprising is we havent really been linked with anyone with 2 days left.

[-sodapop]

Don't they have like 40 players in their squad, how are they affording this?

We've had our cards very close to our chest this window, almost all our transfer news has broken from the other side's sources.

Pending sale of Brennan, Surely. 
 

FFP will bite them like it has Wolves and Everton.

Have we? We have known about every signing about 2.5 weeks before the club announced it. Where is this Abdul fella?

Aye but take for example Akgün, all the noise was coming from Turkey, the Leicester side mouthpieces only reported on it as a rumour or once it was all but confirmed. Same with Mads, same with AFI.

Interested to see how much they're going to offer and if it'll be accepted.

 

Enzo seems to want to keep him.

I think Enzo is just much better at managing media than the poison dwarf was (not hard...) 

"Oh I want to keep him, he is vital, we need him"... more money

 

Brendan: "WE ARE SO POOR, WE HAVE NO MONEY, PLEASE HELP!!!".... less money

So no bids has been received!!!

[Leicester_Loyal]

100% sell if it's an offer over 10/12m.

 

12 months left, take the money and wages and reinvest on someone who's gonna be here for the next 3/4 years. Anything extra can be used to help FFP.

[Yuki!]

Yes he scored and assisted yesterday. But moving forward he does not fit our system, and his lack of technical ability means he will never be able to provide what Enzo needs from a midfielder in his team in the long term. I think it would be sensible to cash in now, because if all goes to plan and we are playing in the Premier League next season he is going to be way down the pecking order/ not needed at all… and will leave on a free

[Gav_LCFC14]

Only if we have a replacements lined up. Its concerning that we could be letting this many players go so close to deadline day without any rumours of people filling the gaps. 

[dbtcity]

It’s one of those where you’d like to think despite only having a year left the fact he’s been fully involved along with the comments about wanting him to stay we’d have a bit of bargaining in us… Soumare and co though you’d expect clubs to fully try and bend us over

[Groby_Blue]

A player who has been in decline for the last three seasons, scores from two mis-hits against Burton Albion & Tranmere, has a year left on his contract, gets sold for over twice as much as he's worth. 

 

It could only be Forest. 

[Yuki!]

Cheeky bid for James Mcatee at Man City with the money?

Agree on the rest, but I'm not sure the one against Burton was a mis-hit...bit harsh
