Ndidi stays

[gerrytaggart]

GOOD

[MonarchFox]

Great signing, glad he's decided to rejoin us.

[Haywood_6]

Very good news. Ndidi always helps the team whenever he's on the pitch. Pretty sure Cooper will play to his strengths and get the best out of him.

[Lako42]

Hope his passing is better than the last time we were in the PL. 

 

 

Overall it's a big positive because our midfield would look horrendous without him. 

[Royston.]

nobody wanted him and his wage demands then

 

welcome back Wilf, better the devil you know............

[RYM]

Experience of a PL dog fight will be useful. I know we lost it but still good to have in the squad.

Get him next to Winks and back to being the ball winner

I hate being whiny but I can’t see that being a very strong pairing if we want to play out from the back.

 

Ndidi’s limitations on the ball means we’d be so predictable to play against and teams would just mark Winks out of the game.

we didnt lose it, i prefer hopped, skipped and jumped into the championship

[roblcfc84]

plenty of PL experience and knows the club. Difficult to do better on a free. 

[JimJams]

I don't put much stock into Transfermarkt player values, but according to them we just sign a 16mill player for nowt.

[cityfanlee23]

In before there’s a relegation clause where we have to pay him £30m and he leaves on a free

This actually made me laugh. He's got such an infectious smile.

This forum definitely needs some new animated gifs. It’s been a while

schlupp is a leicester legend and rodgers is comedy gold!!

[ealingfox]

Sounds like nobody else would match his wage demands, so good to know given our financial issues we've signed up to pay him more than anyone else will for 3 years!

[MPH]

Let’s  remember we are not aiming for champions league, but to stay up. Wilf at 50% of his best will help us do that.

 

 

plus he’s cheaper than a replacement.

[Stopharage]

3 year contract? 
 

So he’ll be 38 when he leaves. 

[ScotFox1]

Happy to see Wilf stay.. especially if we can tease that midfield destroyer out of him again!!

[Finn Claw II]

Don’t really mind if European teams couldn’t compete on wages.  That’s the PL tax all teams pay.

 

[markko]

I am happy with this. Last season when he was not in the team we missed him. That has happened in the prem as well. He may not be what he was but he is still a good professional and from what I see a good personality around the club. Good luck Wilf.

[ozvaldo]

Good cover. Great engine on him and can fill in a CB if desperate. 
Can also now go forward as we saw last season, and it’s good to keep senior players who’ve been with us. 
 

Im happy with this.

I don’t think will be playing out from the back as much with Cooper

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

A winks and ndidi midfield is fine but if we are having a 3 man midfield we need someone creative and can score goals.

 

Ndidi the destroyer, winks the link but need that creative spark 

 

Soule might be a good shout but then pressure and expectation on him will be huge.

 

Glad Ndidi has signed But goals in the team is the worry.

 

It will be interesting to see how Ndidi will be utilised this season.

Wilf is still a solid player. Last year he was surprisingly effective in Enzo's system, keeping out Casadei (recruited for this specific role) who was surely Enzo's man.

If we can utilise his strengths in Cooper's system, then he will be a great asset.

He's also one of the older and experienced heads who's won things with us - he is important for the club culture and the dressing room.

 

Thumbs up from me.
