Viva Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April 20 minutes ago, MPH said: Definitely agree. although they may well wonder if that will see their chance of European football disappear. Best chance is to hold out for a club like Brighton, but after this year im not so sure Nacho will get anything better than Palace.. I think both would be lucky to get Palace. Can't see Ndidi being able to do the number 8 role in the Premier League and he's no longer good enough in a defensive role. Nacho can't make the squad of a Championship team. I could see both going abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 28 April Share Posted 28 April Is palace any different to playing for us? I can see him going abroad (possibly Dubai) or staying, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Pen Posted 28 April Share Posted 28 April Wilf has been great for us but his Injuries have caught up with him a bit like they did for Kante. Time for the scouting team to unearth another midfield gem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 29 April Share Posted 29 April I'm not bothered. At his best he's a PL destroyer and top DM. But I don't see him matching up with the oppos in any other position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no coincidence that when we hit some bad form this season Wilf wasn’t playing or not fully fit. I can’t see us being able to sign someone at his level With the financial restrictions. I’d much rather keep Wilf than sign longstaff or brown hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the vesty comment but Wilf has performed consistently in the PL for us for years. He’s a top half Prem quality player. No matter the position I think a player of his quality we need to retain at all costs. We cannot play the same we have been playing in the championship in the Prem so maybe we do setup with DM. Peps teams have always had defensive type CM- Rodri / Fernandinho. If it’s good enough for Pep it’s good enough for Enzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUHILL Posted 30 April Share Posted 30 April Nacho will definitely be off so that may play a part in Ndidi's decision. I do think we are in a strong position to keep him though. I don't think he will have big clubs coming in for him and any move will likely be a sideways one with only mid to lower Prem teams showing any interest. I'd offer him a 2 year deal, but that's FM talk, he will rightly want 3-4 and a relegation clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s good enough for Pep it’s good enough for Enzo if we set up with a DM, maybe but I very much doubt we will- those two that you mentioned have good technical ability. Will for all his runs he’s made does not. We seem to be shifting away from the traditional roles we’re moving our right backs into central midfield or CDs are playing attacking roles and it’s really only going to work in the prem if we have those who are more natural in those positions… the alternative is that as you say Enzomis more flexible and plays a DM in the DM position and I just don’t see that happening..

coolhandfox Posted 30 April Share Posted 30 April I doubt we can compete on the wages front, only reason Wilf stays is his connection with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
