Sometimes trust is given to him. It is questionable whether he will make the 25 man squad. Anybody able to enlighten on this? I don’t think he rates him, they ready to let him go in January. He won’t make the matchday squad when we’re at full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamza's problems is he is out of time and referees give too much protection these days. Twenty years ago he would have been fine and MON would have loved him. Ole Gunnar seems to value the equally aggressive Mctominey highly by the way. Edited 17 August 2021 by An Sionnach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 17 August 2021 Share Posted 17 August 2021 The problem is that no one wants him, and if you sell him it will basically have to be a giveaway and not the 10-million fairy tale some fans have conjured up. He's a Championship-caliber player and Championship clubs aren't going to pay squat on a transfer like Choudhury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpe's Fox Posted 17 August 2021 Share Posted 17 August 2021 no one with any sense wants a central midfield player with no awareness who can't recieve and pass the ball in one movement. Enter Steve Bruce, I guess. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 17 August 2021 Share Posted 17 August 2021 If I was an opposition player in the Prem I'd love to see Hamza on the other side of the team sheet, the fact he'll pass the ball to me more than my team mates would be a huge bonus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurru991 Posted 17 August 2021 Share Posted 17 August 2021 Hamza is just not good enough for a top half team and possibly not good enough for the premier. His decision making is extremely suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His decision making is extremely suspect. Agree with your first statement, but think he could do a job at a lower half team. His main problem here is that Brendan wants his players to have good technical ability, and my own personal view on this, is that this is where Choudhury is lacking. Can't fault his energy, commitment and his ability to close down, but unfortunately his overall skill level is below what is expected for our first team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 23-year old was a target for Bruce in the January window and is understood to be open to the move so he can play more regular football. Bruce believes the England U21 international’s industry and combative nature would make a huge difference to his side but Newcastle’s hierarchy want their manager to trim his squad first to make room.

We may also be one of the easiest team to referee as we do not harangue the Referee when he has decided against us. An action that Matt Piper on Radio Leicester has been asking for the players to do more of, in order to influence the Referees decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also needs to stay on his feet and not overcommit, he is not learning anything at the moment and only in real match conditions that he will pick up the necessary skills and knowledge he needs to go forward with his career. Playing every now and then is no help and he has lost a considerable amount of time in his career in limbo at this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanlegend Posted 17 August 2021 Share Posted 17 August 2021 Loan to Newcastle or similar with option to buy. I’ve not seen him play enough to make a judgement really and until he gets a good run in a team how can anyone judge him? That said we have Soumare, Mendy and KDH who are all ahead of him so a loan may be a good option and may put his transfer fee up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 17 August 2021 Share Posted 17 August 2021 If we can't sell him a loan is probably ideal, his value won't rise sitting on our bench 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said we have Soumare, Mendy and KDH who are all ahead of him so a loan may be a good option and may put his transfer fee up I think that's a big issue here. I can remember a few games when he's actually looked fairly decent, but then a fair number of others when he's looked particularly poor too. I think if he does go on loan somewhere for the season, (particularly if that's still in the Premier League; like to Newcastle, for example), it'll be interesting to watch his progress after a run of games in the first 11. He is very unlikely to get that here, without a huge injury crisis in midfield, but I believe the jury is still out on how good a player he actually is. Having said that - (and I'm ending in an almost identical way to the post I have quoted - in fact I may not have added much at all in this whole post if I am honest) - if a team offered money for him, I'd personally want Leicester to accept it, because we've got players like Soumare and KDH who look like better options, and we can't keep everyone happy with the number of midfielders we now have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the only argument for keeping Hamza is that he is club home grown, and it's an unreplaceable in European squad spot. Having KDH step up alleviates that problem to some extent; but truth is, Hamza is on European/Cup duty, and with Soumare in the squad might not even make a league appearance. He needs to go for his career, and shouldn't be kept around just in case we have an unbelievable injury crisis. Frankly, I think we might be able to afford to let both Hamza and Mendy go at the same time; I just don't see either making anything buy very occasional league appearances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
