He gets his stats from set plays, does he not, rather than open play.
If he was about 4 years younger, I would think it would be a decent transfer. Good squad player to have.
But for the price? Hell nah.
Not the breaking up the opposition ones. But he's definitely not an fsg type signing at 28, hasn't been linked, I was just saying I'd be into it if he was.
Fair enough.
Aren't like 99% of his goals either free kicks or pens?
Absolute no chance he gets in ahead of a fit Naby...English Charlie Adam can fuck off.
I think you're falling into the trap of using our midfielders (and particularly Naby Keita) as a benchmark. It's not been the most productive area for us since Coutinho left, but if we're looking for improvements then we should absolutely be setting the bar higher. Personally, I would much rather give minutes to Fabio and Harvey than spend a fortune on JWP (let's face it, he's 28, English, and Southampton's talisman - it would take a hefty fee for them to let him go). If you take out penalties, JWP had 6 goals and 6 assists last season. And 5 goals and 7 assists the season before that. Appreciate he's in a poor Southampton side, but I think both Fabio and Harvey would deliver better numbers given the same game time, and have a much higher ceiling to boot.
Funnily enough, when you compare JWP's and Keita's contributions per minutes played last season (given that JWP is an automatic starter and played nearly three times as many minutes as Keita), there's not a great deal in it. https://www.squawka.com/en/comparison-matrix/?compare=mL3Ec-q8v2SLhP7zdOnlr
Great watch, isn’t it?
I've yet to see Naby win an aerial duel
Why is this not surprising? He's like 5' 2" and other players don't even need to jump.
& I've yet to see Joe Gomez score a goal for us.
Winning Aeriel duels has never been part of Naby's game.
Wasn't Tarkowski their only signing until this one?
I suspect he’s not high on the list of midfielders to fill in at CB if we get another defensive injury crisis.
Short, not really fast and gets injured too often. Can't even rely on him to stay fit when not playing as there is a good chance he will get injured in training.
I think it's time he moves on, and we get someone else
You’re going to be well pissed off when he signs a 4 year extension.
If we were selling and replacing, we would, even should, have done it a month ago.
Maybe we would have if Tchouameni had signed m.
Balls to doing it now unless we really have someone cracking lined up.
Can’t see it happening.
Does anyone know where the Off Switch is for this broken record?
Reminds me of this: Gerrard gets armband from Hyypia , except Mings is no Hyypia - in fact, there's every chance of him losing his place in the starting XI - can be Konsa-Carlos partnership.

Nice to see Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth give lower league players a chance (O'Brien, Toffolo and now Tavernier). West Ham brough in Flynn Downes from Swansea too. In recent seasons, Leicester seems to be the one doing it.
Notts Forest have signed better and that’s the competition for the bitters
Anyone thinking Leicester could struggle this year? No signings so far, Brendan supposedly wants half a new team of signings. Last years signings stunk the place out Boubacare, Saka, Vestergard. Looking to sell Schmeichel, Forfana linked with Chelsea, Tielemens in his last year of his deal. Brenda about to get fired again?
