so we could be looking at a midfield of Winks, KDH and Sensi then, worry about height in that tho

Casadei will play a huge role now

I think the idea of this is for general cover across the midfield now N’didi has gone for a while. It’s an integral part of the season. He’s clearly a good player and has played at a high level for a long time, a level far above the championship. 
 

I don’t think integrating will be an issue, and Enzo will more than likely make him feel at ease. 
 

It will cover the winks position and potentially an attacking position too. Praet was probably the preferred option, but he’s as reliable as a pedal cycle with no wheels or pedals. 
 

For a couple of mill it’s low risk, and potentially could add a bit more quality in depth.

The drive down Narborough Road onto Upperton Road, passing Lidl, Statue of Liberty & the eyesore student flats on Jarrom Street. I bet he doesn’t get picturesque drives like that in Milan.

So far this has been the season for surprising. Fatawu looked like an extreme risk and 18m seemed absurd, Harry Winks was regarded as underwhelming and uninspired, Mavididi raised a lot of eyebrows and FoxesTalk jizzed itself to death over Cesare Casadei. Haha.

 

There's no doubting that Sensi has a fantastic amount of talent, he's a much better player than Praet has ever been. Yes, he's had a difficult history with injuries and, sure, he's not good enough for Inter Milan. But we are where we are.

 

I can't get my head around people acting like 2m is anything other than bargain basement. Even for a Championship club these days, it's not a significant amount of money, especially given we're looking almost certainly on course to be back in the top flight again.

 

He's an experienced pro with a lot of ability, on his day he's not far off Champions League quality. He won't be under pressure to play every minute here and he gives us a good option.

 

I don't really see a significant issue with this transfer if I'm honest. Some of the reactions seem over the top.

 

Exactly boro just signed finn azaz for 2-3 Mill! This guys a high end Pro, only reason we are in with a sniff is injuries.  With wages it's probably a 6-7 mill gamble. Well worth it

[Lambert09]

the romantic in me says that this will be the next cambiasso. 

 

But the pessimist in me….. just needs to stfu… it’s going to be the next cambiasso 

[Jobyfox]

For that money he’d be a Sensi-ble signing

I'm Sensing he'll take the vacant number 6 shirt

Sensi wearing the sum of the numbers 420, nice

one thing i like about this transfer is he might have a point to prove and be hungry to get his career back on track.

Yes but to be effective "cover" you need to be available almost constantly and at short notice. He isn't that. 

[honeybradger]

Could be a shrewd signing where a talented player gets his career back on track or could be a case of us replacing Mendy/Praet where we have a player who's not getting much game time and is looking to leave.

[Devonfox1884]

I think Enzo has earned our trust on this one. On the face of it there are a few question marks, but I’d be intrigued to see how it’d play out.

If we pay 2m for a player with 6 months left who managed to play more than 800 league minutes once in 6 seasons we want shooting 

 

Stinks or us giving him a 2 year contract on decent money to sit in the treatment room.

I see your point, but £2m in today's game is peanuts. We paid a lot more for Coady who has been backup for us. It's a calculated risk to recruit a player of a higher caliber than what we'd otherwise be able to recruit.

 

If it's a relatively short term deal and we're not paying him the world, it's got to be a risk worth taking.

TBF this guy makes Praet seem like an ever-present.

 

He could turn out to be another Cambiasso or another Inler but 2m is a relatively small gamble if that's the fee.

At that price it’s fine with me. Zero risk.

He's been available for Inter for most of it but hasn't been picked because he's fallen down the pecking order.

The issues with Sensi this season don’t really seem to be injury-related. Yeah, he had some minor issues earlier this season but he’s just not in Inter’s plans and simply not really being considered for selection.

Fair enough, but I think with his injury record and Seagrave is a recipe for disaster. 

 

We're just about shot of the last crop of players on big wages that aren't contributing, hopefully he wouldn't be similar. 

[BKLFox]

The Yorkshire Post trying to make out we are buying the league & that it's not a level playing field with the headline of "Leeds United promotion rivals 'in talks' for £21 million midfielder" they don't even mention the €2m at anytime in the body of the article & that is what other clubs fans will just pick up on, the fact at somepoint in his career he was rated at 21m & ignore the fact they they could also buy him now for €2m.

[sphericalfox]

Looking forward to Sensi-ball

I doubt we'd be offering him mega wages and the very small transfer fee would make it a low risk move, financially speaking at least.
