I’m sure we’re v interested based on his info 

we may even have bid officially (or it could have been a conversation- ‘we’re prepared to offer €15m - what do you think?’ ).  But terreur says we were knocked back 

You never get a player on the first bid, we were just testing the waters. The fact we’ve bid and the article he’s shared sounds very positive.

This is really outside the usual scope of: he is too good for us, he is too crap for us, why would he want to live in Leicester, he is too expensive usual set of reasons! Just gone straight to, 'no one should join us, and if they do it's obviously some kind of scam'! 😄 

Not a scam. I just question their faculties

Pay what they want, continually watching Ndidi play attacking midfield is like witnessing war crimes over and over again 

He had a good game yesterday.

He can carry the ball well in the attacking half. But struggles to control the ball or pick out a forward pass

And who did this with great success yesterday? 

 

As I said he had a good game.

I mean "great success" for a midfielder is surely either scoring a goal or creating a very good chance? Neither of which he did.

 

He had a decent game, but you were replying about him being an attacking mid, which he isn't at all. He's a decent holding mid, where he has someone to offload to.

Surely we aren't playing Ndidi as attacking? He's playing alongside Winks to add some physicality. This Genk lad is a legitimate attacking mid to challenge the Brighton fella.

He moved Ndidi up for the last 20 when Skipp came on for Buonnanotte, at least he did in my eyes

He did ok at his defensive job

it seems pretty clear to me that opposition know he’s the weak link in possession. They either leave him with the ball and drop off, knowing that he’s just as likely to make a poor pass and gift it to them as he is to find a team mate or they press quickly if the scenario allows. Either way he becomes a liability when we’ve got the ball.  it was clear that we didn’t seem to want to give him the ball yesterday when playing out if there was any kind of alternative. Not sure what the solution is cos defensively, we do need his physicality in midfield.

Ndidi was moved further forward later.  

 

He did okay yesterday but he's not particularly good when pressed and gave the ball away a lot.  I think or hope Skipp will be the answer to that and be more press resistant allowing out attacks to progress from the back more smoothly.  

 

Ndidi isn't a terrible option played further forward when you want someone to press up the pitch.  

 

Anyway...we need this lad or someone like him.

i tell you what would sweeten the deal for Genk, a high class quality keeper in the form of Danny Ward

Hi, it’s John again  - how about €16.5m + €0.5m in add ons ???

[Edingleyfox]

Pleased club is going in with another offer today. I don't have a clue how much he is worth but the longer negotiations go on the more chance it will be hijacked as we have seen. Be interested to know from those that follow the Belgian league  what we can expect if this gets over the line?

Probably best to ask them in the event that he does sign  -  (based on previous experiences)

I really really hope we don’t mess this up… need to stop faffing about!

[Ricey]

He wants to play for Leicester? Big red flag for me that.
