Ndombele (signed for Spurs)

[nmc]

There are lots of players who have signed new deals and then left after a year

Hardly looks like he wants out though

 

[Delphinho]

Very good performance by him. Composed, some good dribbles and some unbelieveable through balls. Need him in january IMO

 

[BlueDejong]

fucking sign him now

 

[decmancity]

Couldn't have really done much more to convince the club he is the lad to go for. His "Bernando" game infront of Pep. A chance of getting him in Jan for a premium, it won't be like most big transfers whereby the club wont sell as they are going for league titles. Be cup tied for CL but he can always play in PL and rest Fernandinho.

 

[Bpughh]

Only saw the second half but wasn't blown away. One very nice pass.

That was still more than Fern managed in the whole match!

 

[Saddleworth2]

Him and Fekir were extremely good. Better than anyone in our midfield tonight.

 

[hammersmithlad]

Ndombele/De Jong/Verratti or Neves please.

Tonight shows us if Fern is having a bad day at the office there really is no-one who can compete for his position in the current squad.

 

[01cravend]

This is one lad that i'd be happy if we were to carry on the pattern of scouting and then pursuing our targets from opponents in the champions league

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

looks the sort of young player we need for our team.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

For those who've seen him play before last night, would he suit our team/style?

 

[FantasyIreland]

A good player,we can do better though and id be surprised if he's an option.

 

[Mon Autre]

If he weren't already on my mind from having read about him on this thread, I don't think he would of especially stood out to me last night.

Watched a couple Lyon games last season, and he's like a carbon copy of Fernandinho at Shakhtar. A little more offensive than Dinho is today, but could easily be a very good DM. He's got loads of pace and physicality, he's one hell of a dribbler and he also defends well and showed his great passing ability yesterday. Would be my first choice signing, I even prefer him over De Jong

Who better should we sign?

I think that's been scrapped from this season

The reason fern isn't top top drawer is he's not amazing when pressed. I haven't seen much of this guy, he looks a strong runner but I can't imagine he'd be as good against the press as a Jorginho type player. I think that's the type Pep will want so Neves would be more likely for me.

They need to have the aggression, pace and physicality to recover when we're against the counter. The first and foremost job of a DM is to break up their attacks and give it back to our attacking players. You can beat the press as much as you like, but their defenders inevitably will hoof the ball up on the break and we suffer.

Who better should we sign?

Someone who's better.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Someone who's better.

That’s so funny I damn near cracked my ribs!
