Says a lot about him as a person Weird take given that Wes did the same. Also seems like he’s settled in this area, does a part time course at DMU, so if he didn’t want to uproot his family it makes perfect sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 £15m seems about fair and happy with that fee if we can get that. Otherwise I'd rather just keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 It's crazy that a player once looked at by top 4 sides, linked with all the big boys, could potentially have 2 relegations on his CV. I have no bones about him going to Forest. It's his life ans choice. Just seems he could have aimed a lot higher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as a fan base we need to learn or accept players leaving much better. Especially those with one year left on their contracts. On one hand we complain about big contracts and players running them down, but then we don’t want to accept offers for Ndidi. Forest are doing us a favour here, and it really is time for him to move on. I said nice things about him last night, but he has been really poor the last 2 seasons. It’s great he’s offered to play this different role but it’s clearly not something that’s going to make him a long term starter.

Danny Ward though, i would give them on a free, and offer to pay his wages, so long as they agreed that they would play him every week. we wouldn’t be that stupid. He’s even worse than our 3rd choice Hennessey. Ndidi might work for us. If anyone can get him back to where he was it’s Cooper. I know Iheanacho and Taiwo are big mates; Ndidi might be good friends with them both by the sound of it. Seems worth a punt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I tell them or enjoy them finding out for themselves? 😂 To be fair to Wilf over the last 2 years he's had a few injuries that have kept him out of the side and when fully fit Rodgers still picked Soumare over him at times and then he was part of a side that was poor all over the park last season. Doing what he's best at, he's still one of the best around I'm just not sure where a good old fashioned "destroyer" fits into most systems in the top leagues anymore. Sit him in front of a back 4 in a 4141 and he's excellent and will continue to be so. Ask him to pass the ball more than 10 yards and then you start to come unstuck. Certainly in our current set up, and is most teams that will look to dominate possession, he seems to be a waste of a pick in the 11. Opposition teams that like to pass their opponents to death will just pass around him so he only ever really becomes effective against teams that like to try and dictate play through a No10, where he can pick the player up, disrupt runs and nick the ball of a players toe. It'll be sad to see him go, forgetting the last couple of seasons, we'll have fondish memories of him, but he's just not technically good enough to fit anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viva Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 Would be a great bonus if we can get some good money for him. He won’t be a starter in our team for long anyway with Casadei waiting to take his place. Would allow us to buy another good player or two that would be far better suited to us that won’t leave for free next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyMouse Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 (edited) Nice bloke. Will reminiscent over his old habit of shooting to the stands, being first in the league in tackles/interceptions, conceding an own goal and then scoring a goal in 1-1 draw against Chelsea. It's a bit strange committing to tactics where we can let go of our experienced DM. Like many other players and the club itself, didn't meet his previously set lofty standards but he has pretty much been a model professional. Good luck to him but not too much since he's going to you know who. I will remember him fondly but will miss his presence in and around the team.

Haywood_6 Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 Great player out of possession, not so good when in possession. He's one of the best 'destroyers' out there on his day. We need to move on now though and find players which fit Enzo's style. 15 million is decent business. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frany104 Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 Get him gone. He’s been awful for 2 seasons now. I’ve never seen a pro footballer with so little ability on the ball. £15 mill is great business. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 I wonder if this will increase the chance of nacho leaving. Wilf is a big reason nacho likes being here. If a good opportunity comes knocking wouldn’t surprise me if he asks to leave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbury Fox Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 Have always really liked Wilf and during his first 3 or 4 years with us he was one of the top 3 CDMs in the PL. Indeed, he was arguably our most important player in what was a very good side challenging for CL places. But he has dropped off a cliff in the last 2 years with a combination of loss of form, injuries, alleged personal issues, etc - plus he simply doesn't fit into our system any more. Sad to see him to go, though, especially to that lot. Another of our players who has ended up with a crap move, having been destined for one of the big clubs a few years back.
