Wilfred Ndidi (signed for Besiktas 9m)

[James_lcfc]

Best to keep him now we're playing at a lower level.

 

Nobody is paying £9million though, so we probably don't have a choice anyway!

[lcfc sheff]

in all honesty keeping Ndidi I'm not actually concerned about, its the boring dreaded Skipp and Winks I don't like.

im done with this yo-yo’ing already. If we are going to do a reset and bring in the young guys, I’m half tempted to get rid of all three and put my hopes in Braybrooke

[Lambert09]

Everyone, Man U and Saudi clubs interested in wilf supposedly. I think he ends up at a Saudi club tbh

Bargain fee?

[Jimmy]

for PL standards £9m is a bargain

[ithuriel]

Any half decent fee would be good, been past his prime for a long time and another off the wage bill.

[foxfanazer]

Please let him go United

[foxinsocks]

He was free last year and no one wanted him

[scinnell]

If we get 9 million for him which would be pure profit at the club, then somebody has played a blinder there because he could have easily walked away for free last summer.

You say that but I wonder how much we paid in sign on fee, agent fee and wages for this year. I bet it wouldn’t be far off, if not £9mill. And let’s be honest, he hasn’t offered anything this season.

 

So not so much a blinder as covered the cost of the new contract and year of wages.

Its 6m less than we paid for him during which time he's won a trophy, played in Europe and now captains his country.

6mill it is

[Muzzy_no7]

I’d be amazed if someone pays half of his release clause. 

[sdb]

People forget he's a decent player because he's been managed by absolute cretins for most of the last 4 years 

[TommyK]

Ndidi for 9m is a great buy. You don't get much for that now a days. Definitely not established premiership players. 

[MPH]

A lot of people are saying he’s passed his best and I really don’t think that’s the case. I think he’s simply lost interest in playing for LCFC a long time ago.  I think he re-signed because circumstances dictated that was a better option.

His wallet decided that.

[Bptiger]

Gee there’s lots of hate for him , he has been one of are best and that’s been kind to the rest of, he runs his arse off and gives 100% every time he runs in that pitch. Even if he’s not as good as he once was , playing in the championship, he will again kill it , just don’t see us getting a better player than him with our no money problem . 

[CornwallFox]

I'd like us to sell 90% of the squad and start again so if we could get £5m we should probably take it. Not because he couldn't do a job in the championship but because we just need a reset. 

 

That said, I don't like reading disrespect towards him. He's been a great servant to the club. At one point he was an absolute beast in midfield and it's just time and injuries that have reduced his effectiveness. 

[Claridge]

I wouldn't want us to buy him as he is now for 9 million, so I would defo take 5

The DM market is crap and getting worse though. It didn't;t strike me that Ndidi was really agitating to leave on a free as there weren't loads of rumours - which is what normally happens as agents get on the phone to news outlets.

 

If you need a PL standard DM then £9m for this is a bargain

[Stadt]

We paid £7m each for Coady and Cannon. Ndidi with 220 apps and a mainstay in an FA cup winning/CL chasing side isn't worth half of that apparently. 

 

Only on FT our shit players good and our good players shit.

[JJD_LCFC]

Personally would keep Ndidi for the championship. We still need a strong side to get promoted and Ndidi is excellent for this division. Our midfield of winks, ndidi and Skipp should be the best in the league.
