Confirmed Transfer Wilfred Ndidi

[glyn]

Nice:

There was another positive news story for Ranieri, with the performance of his £15m signing Wilfred Ndidi, the Nigerian who needed only two training sessions to convince his new manager that he was ready to start a game. Ndidi, brought in from Genk on Thursday to fill the N’Golo Kanté shaped midfield void, is just 20 years old, but he was Leicester’s standout player.

When he went thigh-to-thigh with Lukaku in a challenge, it was tempting to describe the engagement was an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. The sight of Lukaku being sent sprawling to the floor removed that possibility. The sight of Ndidi dominating his opponents, indeed, must have been a source of frustration for Ronald Koeman.

This is the real present this christmas for us.

And with Mendy now getting match fit and Drinky playing well enough to represent England our midfield finally sounds capable of lifting us from the mire.

Now to see it.

Remind you of anyone....

He's good. He could be world class.

Yep. Some great breaking up of the play there. That long reaching tackle is key as well. Has potential to be better than Kante IMO as he's more of a goal threat and aerial presence, and younger too. Fantastic buy.

Some of his passing last night was sublime

Great reaction when the final whistle went last night,

Superb footballer.

 

[FryattFox]

He looks immense. Genuine class.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Great player. Will definitely fill the Kante void. Great shout by whoever scouted him.

If only Musa was half as good!

I'd rather have the great (Mahrez, Kante, Ndidi) and the less great (Musa, Hernandez, Kaputska) than the middling players that we were used to for a long time.

We really have unearthed some gems over the last few years (assuming Ndidi is as good as he appears).

 

[H T B]

Ff, you're being a bit harsh on Kaputska

Yeah, And Hernandez never got the opportunity at DM so how can you expect to have seen anything from
Him!

 

[Chrysalis]

superb player, he is a very nice catch for us, hopefully we keep him for at least a few years.

 

[Micky]

He has definitely improved us as a team. Far more defensive protection.

I think N'Didi is a terrific talent. However, he's far from the finished article and does make two or three mistakes per game. Ideally, we should have a three in midfield to both protect him a bit and also enable him to get forward more because I think he could score 8-10 a season too.

Eye opening. Particularly the differences with Amartey.

I agree but I also believe he has added a huge amount to our team. He is far more dynamic than Amartey (and I like Daniel) and he also has much better anticipation. His leap is also incredible and I think he will soon score a goal with his head. If he is nurtured carefully he will be a top player.

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Hopefully the two goals shipped per game average in his seven league appearances will reduce, too.
