Reminds me of kovacic but even more so of dembele. Could be your replacement for him.

I love Kova but I think Ndombele is better. Retains the dribbling ability and press resistance. But stronger, more dangerous in final third (for whatever reason Kova’s dribbling even though very good he seems to lose some guile in final third). Although he doesn’t get many goals yet like Kova his striking technique is better. And slightly more creative passing/vision than Kova.

still early doors, ndombele when i saw him last year was pretty rubbish. He looks better this year but kovacic was our poty last year for a reason. Brought class and guile to a hectic season.

Yeah that’s true, it must’ve been frustrating seeing a guy of his ability not at his best yet.

I actually wanted us to sign him but we had a transfer ban 😂 I also wanted Pepe so...

Especially when you have paid close to £60m for him and you see someone like Bruno, who costs the same, come into the league and hit the ground running.

Not every player hits the ground running regardless of what they cost. A few of us could see his talent and knew he needed time.

loads of top clubs in Europe wanted Ndombele, was stunned we were the ones to get him.

on the flip side im a massive fan of Kova and wanted him at spurs before he went Chelsea and Dembele was declining. We have the player with the higher 'ceiling' for sure, still a way to go for him but signs this season of magical moments and big improvement.

Always knew after watching Ndombele against City in the CL and a few Lyon games he had it in him but was struggling here on several levels. Still surprised we even managed to pull off the signing.

Class act and not even 100% yet.

Dembele still > for me.

Literally the anti-Sissoko. Sissoko receives the ball and doesn't make up his mind what to do with it until after he's booted it out of play

Such an exaggeration LOL

Yes. It's called hyperbole.
