New manager with fresh ideas and a good pre season, then he could get back to his old self a bit , which was some player. Sell if a good offer comes in but we can't ignore how good he was and at 26 , he's good a few good years left in him I reckon he's the same age as Musa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see him under another manager after a good pre-season!!! His biggest flaw is his short passing, it needed to have been looked at and corrected either by the player or his coach. His longer range passing is good and uses a different technique to passing the ball at short ranges. In a system where playing with the ball to feet is paramount, he will always be the trigger for opponents to start a press. The new system precludes his inclusion, so he has to go.

That has followed him around for ever and will until he retires. That is the reason for the covert posts regarding his age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanefox Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 I've mentioned this before but his turn in form changed after him and his wife lost a child, also with niggling injuries hasn't helped him find any form either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vlad the Fox Posted 2 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 July 2023 I saw him pull his car keys out his pocket after one match once and a packet of werthers original fell out. I think that’s more conclusive than any bone scan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post STUHILL Posted 2 July 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 2 July 2023 Clearly, Ndidi is just not the same player he was, and I think it is fair to be suspicious about his age, due to all the cases of age manipulation specifically in Nigeria. However, the fact he lost a child is likely a reason too. He has also been at the club a long time, and I suspect needs a fresh challenge. Grateful for all the great years with him, but the fact I don't even want him for the Championship, just shows how far he has fallen. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Fox Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 Personally think he looked unfit as did so many of the players last season - if a decent offer is not forthcoming and he has a decent preseason I would trust the manager to make a judgement - some of the lads we have are good players but they had the life and confidence drained out of them by BR - wilf in particular was told he had to learn to be Pirlo which was never happening and get him back to do what he’s good at and he would be an asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 Enzo's going from a side with elite passes, safe to say Ndidi will be not favoured as he cant be trusted with a 5 yard pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine that with those injuries. It's not too difficult to show a little empathy to him as a person after we've sacked a manager that has mismanaged most of the squad. The masterclass from Rogers is to insist a player tries to adapt to his style rather than play to the strengths of the players you have. Maybe he needs that different environment to refind that form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If personal issues were the cause of his downfall over the last 2-3 seasons then he should’ve been taken out of the team entirely for his own wellbeing. From a footballing perspective alone I would look to replace him as our main CDM. Whatever the reason, his decline has been significant and long term. On the pitch he’s been a liability if we are being honest - it’s very sad if this is due to ongoing personal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trugerkem Posted 2 July 2023 Share Posted 2 July 2023 The championship would pass him by…. It’s too hectic …. He doesn’t get out of first gear most games… sell for £10m if anyone is daft enough to pay it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
