HankMarvin Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Should hold off, letting him go yet in case another manager comes in and gives him some minutes because of a lack of funds or options. 2
Md9 Posted 25 January Posted 25 January Let him go and get some minutes in league one, might need the experience next season 🙈

brookfox Posted 26 January Posted 26 January Good move for him. Could really do with 10+ games of mens football (ideally with a few goals) between now and the end of the season if he's to push into our squad next season. Not getting that here so Northampton Town seems a sensible move. 1
FrankieADZ Posted 27 January Posted 27 January a good move to get him some first team action, some of our fans will say that leaves us short in the forward department but totally forget we have Otchere in the U21's who honestly seems more suited to what we'd need in a forward atm 1
Dandy king Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Agree with all the other posters who say good move. He's done very well and a loan move is a tried and tested route to development . Not everyone from the academy is going to be ready for championship football at 16 or so.Â
LCFCCKEANO Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Really good news, he gets a half season of good form in the league below and even if Fatawu goes we have him and Monga hopefully ready to take on bigger roles
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 31 January Posted 31 January Got 12 or so minutes off the bench today. Â Northampton lost 2-0 at home to Reading, leaving them second bottom in League one, albeit a win behind Wigan and Rotherham in 19th and 20th respectively. Â Northampton have lost their last 4 and are winless in 8.

The step from age group football to full on professional football is huge.  Our kids are also quite young still… you don’t get many 16/17 years olds going straight from academy to senior team, the progression path is normally a lot more gradual than that, even for the more exceptional talents (even Beckham went out on loan to Preston back in the day).  It also has to be said - the all round environment within the club and on the terraces isn’t exactly an ideal one for fostering and nurturing young talent. 9
Fox 4 Life Posted 31 January Posted 31 January I'm confident he would do more in those 12 minutes than Ayew did in the entire game today 2

BrilliantFox Posted 4 February Posted 4 February Does Brizzle Fox think we have a bunch of Lamine Yamals running around at Seagrave? Can't be using him as the barometer to judge Monga. 1 2
FosseSpark Posted 4 February Posted 4 February There was a debate about whether Monga was a 'generational talent' earlier in the year. Anyone who has seen Rio Ngumoha play cameos for Liverpool this year can't have failed to see that Monga isn't currently fit to lace his boots (pace, goal threat, general play is miles apart), Max Dowman's few appearances in the premier league and Europe also show that he's miles ahead of Monga in his general play. I want Stola, Page, Monga, Braybrooke, Aluko, Evans and Nelson to be the backbone of Leicester's future or at least help to fund it by being excellent and being bought for massive transfer fees. But you can't ignore what's in front of you. Monga looks VERY skilful but doesn't look to have any pace or strength in his running v adult players. This could develop as he's only young,but doesn't stand him out vs 17 yo's who DO have adult running power when they break through ie Raheem Sterling, Jermaine Pennant, Rooney, Owen, Braybrooke has great attributes but may just find a level lower than prem/championship, Stola can't do crosses, sometimes falls to bit under pressure on the ball. Looks a good if not GREAT shotstopper. Page looks great on the ball but it's impossible to say where he will end up. Aluko looks competitive but nothing to make you super excited that he's the next Rio Ferdinand Nelson currently looks quite weak for a 21 year old in comparison to proper excellent players. Evans - no idea 1

You realise pace and strength can easily be improved? Its the skills that can't be improved on. So its a good thing his technical ability is his best attribute. Just needs to hit the gym, not that complicated.
