Then there is the added benefit of having a sellable asset if he keeps performing in his new role in the PL. Not to mention keeping a winner and a big player who is one of the pillars of this team - he's one of our longest servants after all. If he isn't demanding impossible wages, I feel it is important (and sensible) that we keep him. Imo it would be a bit of a coup to keep him. He had a bit of a blip last year but he is a Premier League player. I suspect we will regret him playing very well for some other team if he goes.

He’s more than earned another tilt at the prem with us…. I’d personally be delighted if we sign him up 👍🏼 For me, he’s more than damaged his chances of playing in the prem… because of how he played last time in the prem no room for sentiments. It would be suicidal to play him in the prem again. Edited 5 May 2024 by MPH 1
moore_94 Posted 5 May 2024 Author Posted 5 May 2024 Problem means nothing, but interesting Enzo mentioned Wilf as an option for the defensive system change we used yesterday 2

We lead the stats for winning the ball in the final third, it's quite evident why Enzo went for Ndidi in that role compared to other options in the squad. Would be intrigued to see if he could get back to the level he used to be, his performance vs Chelsea in the FA Cup from a ball winning perspective was promising, he was very good. I respect your opinions in most things but you are wrong on this. Also his better tackling stats are in the Premier not the Championship
Popular Post JimJams Posted 6 May 2024 Popular Post Posted 6 May 2024 Amazing, doesn't look like he's aged a day in those two pics. 14
Jonezy Posted 6 May 2024 Posted 6 May 2024 Of course prime Wilf has better tackling stats. We need to let go unless he is ready to be a squad filler and wages that matches that.

The issue with him playing the inverted centre back role that moves into midfield would be his limited passing range (compared to the likes of Vestergaard).

I'm saying that he doesn't tackle like he used to. Even in the championship his tackling stats are nowhere near as good as in the Premier League year after year. He had several years even better than the example I gave.

I was replying to someone who said he was making as many tackles as he used to but further up the pitch. The stats clearly show that is not the case.

I don't think he was meaning Ndidi was making more tackles this season. Just that the quality was better. His last couple of years in the Premier League were poor, but obviously the total volume of tackles would be higher than this season.

He's in a far more advanced position in this system, against defensive players that are far less likely to take risks with passes or take-ons. I think he's shown enough to be a decent option in the Prem. Even on a 2-year deal, if we go down he's a saleable asset. 2

The last few seasons as a defensive midfielder his tackling ability had diminished, this season he's been deployed as an 8 and his tackling stats would always be less than that of a pure ball winning DCM. But he helped win the ball much higher up the pitch, hence the stats that showed we were one of if not the best side in the league at winning the ball in the final third. His energy and anticipation that made him so good at winning the ball for us returned last season for the most part. 1

I think we can both agree that Wilf has been a super player for us in both attitude and ability. 2
