ALC Fox Posted 24 June 2020 Share Posted 24 June 2020 How are we going to set up with him in the side? Is his supposed lack of mobility going to affect the way we play significantly? If he plays will we need to play Wilf or Hamza as well? He's a player with pedigree but I'm suspicious as to why his big moves never materialised. I'm definitely undecided about this one.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 24 June 2020 Share Posted 24 June 2020 If this is the Mendy replacement I'm happy. I really hope we get some pace in midfield though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMean Posted 24 June 2020 Share Posted 24 June 2020 (edited) I know you guys are not ganna like this but could this be seen as a ndidi replacement for next season? I cant see why we would need another defensive minded midfielder on the bench when we have Hamza and mendy. Edited 24 June 2020 by MrMean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1 Posted 25 June 2020 Share Posted 25 June 2020 Mendy looked sharp against Brighton. Would keep him. Carvalho a done deal apparantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it’s out the bag ... god knows how low we will end up ... but he’ll still probably get Mendy to stay if he can ... Carvalho ... no chance !

I cant see why we would need another defensive minded midfielder on the bench when we have Hamza and mendy. He's not an Ndidi replacement. To be honest, to contradict myself a bit, he's not really an outright ball winning player. He's much better on the ball than Ndidi and passes very well. The Iborra comparison someone made wasn't miles off. He's a big guy that looks to impose himself on a midfield. He definitely is a "defensive" midfielder but he's more a halfway between the deeper role Ndidi plays and a playmaker like Tielemans. He's something we don't really have at the moment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like the strong, slow, clumsy Year 11 playing with the Year 8s. He brings some much needed height and strength to the squad anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays everyday at lunch (when the kids are at school) and updates me on how many touches he had that week..... his record is 5 touches in a week so far. i'm not holding out much hope of him being the next Jamie Vardy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar age now as Iborra was when he joined us. As you can see, @SouthStandUpperTier waited six weeks to expand on my original comparison, and in doing so coincidentally employed a word he's never used before in his life. For the avoidance of doubt, I did not rate Iborra. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
