Carvalho is slower than Neville Southall.
I can only see it as Leicester anticipating a big offer coming in for Ndidi. In which case we should put a bid in.
He's a bit reckless though isn't he (Choudhry). Bit like a Dm Aurier.
They're going to be weakening their team alot over the next few seasons.
Ndidi will leave. Chilwell will go.
Back to obscurity they go.
I watched the game he weren’t great ( have read he was struggling with a injury ) but I have seen plenty of games where he’s been good.
It’ll be a good buy imo
He can be reckless. But I was impressed with him today. He can also pass the ball better than people give him credit for.
He's one of the most tenacious players I've seen. He just needs to be a bit more sensible with giving away fouls. I don't like dampening a player's tenacity though but at the same time he needs to not give away stupid fouls.
Plus Vardy will start to slow down and Maddison will probably be eyeing the next move. They have a good moment at present but will slowly struggle to fill crucial gaps.
I'm 65 minutes into it now, really liking Hernandez. 20m from RM.
I really like some of the business this Milan has done recently, Bennacer, Kessie, Leao, Hernandez, (Rebic on loan) bringing in Pioli - this is the best balanced and best coached Milan I've seen for a long while.
And Vardy will run out of Red Bull eventually
What I find disturbing is the kind of message that signing sends out. How are the board expecting top 4 with a signing like that.
I haven't looked at him closely enough to know if he reads the game well, but he certainly seems to be batshit reckless.
Was reading a bit about Atalanta, they might be prepared to let Hans Hateboer, their 26 year old Dutch first choice RWB go for as little as 25m euros (contract to June 2022. Definitely better than Timothy Castagne their back up RB/LB
If the budget is tight we may need to do some compromises - get in some players we think are definite upgrades on what we have, and maybe others less good plus bring on some of our youth to get a full squad.
I'd try to bring in Hateboer to replace Aurier at RB, possibly with the compromise (according to some) of Hojbjerg as DM as knowing PL he's limited risk......or use Oliver Skipp as DM with Harvey White and Jamie Bowden as his back up which others might consider a bigger risk.

Do you have any games in particular that you recommend to watch him in this season? I’ve flip flopped on Hojberg recently, I went from being quite positive on him until I watched that Woolwich game the other day where he was involved in everything bad about Southampton on the day. He had a hand in both goals conceded.
I’m hoping it’s just because he knows that he is leaving so his form is taking a dip (I mean look how woeful eriksen became) but some of his passing in that game was inexcusable. Constantly putting his back line under pressure by consistently passing backwards when he was in acres of space.
If that’s what we are getting then I’m extremely worried, but I suppose I need to watch more of him. What ever our opinions are though I’m about 95% certain that we will sign him.
Honestly I don’t have an issue if the club sees him as the right fit. We’ve signed many a player in the past with a similar reputation (Wanyama, Dembele, Trippier, Davies etc).
If he works out well is all I’m worried about, the amount of big names that don’t end up impressing across football make sure me wary of a Hollywood style name coming in for top dollar when we have a few gaps that require work on.
It doesn't have to be a big name but it does have to be a good enough player, if not then we'll spend several years trying to get rid of him.
