He only has two years left on his contract. Relax everyone.

cant believe we still signed this lazy fuck
was there no evidence in his early lyon days of this

Hidden by moments of contemptuous brilliance against very good sides. Let's not pretend we don't know how we got here. He is a player uniquely suited to how people watch football now. On tiny screens or analysis boothes. Go to tge grounds watch these mugs off the ball multiple times.
Apparently there was some talk about him being lazy with weight problems and not a team player etc but we took a punt because he’s obviously skilled but if Poch Jose Nuno and Conte can’t get a tune out of him then he’s a cunt we have to get rid of no matter what
Don’t forget the XG and how many metres are covered each game!!
That's 5 years too long!
Quite a bit, tbh.
"Did not really give the impression of wanting to surpass oneself" - Teammate of Ndombele at one of his clubs before Lyon.
He was then rejected by multiple clubs due to weight issues. Turned it around and got a move to Lyon, but even there he regularly was criticised by his manager for lacking concentration & consistency despite a whole load of talent. So pretty much his whole career questions over his mentality and commitment have existed.
Signs were there, but Poch was enamoured, the club saw someone with some tools to replace Dembele and decided to spend a record fee.. rest is history.
Gold:
It was a disappointing week for Ndombele. The 25-year-old Frenchman had been struggling with an injury ahead of Lyon's Europa League quarter-final second leg against West Ham and he only managed 45 minutes on the night as the French side slipped to a 3-0 defeat at home.
The midfielder then didn't appear in Lyon's Ligue 1 game on Sunday as they romped to a 6-1 victory at home against Bordeaux.
(Not even on the bench).

reserves?
Will just loan him out again. He took a bit of a pay cut to go to Lyon but he doesn’t look particularly interested when playing for Lyon vs West Ham.
Got a 2/10 from L’Equipe for that performance.
Will have 2 yrs left with one year option on his contract. Is there anyone out there daft enough to give us 20m for him.
"Good ebenning."
No one will take him for free let alone give us 20 million.
It's absolutely amazing how different a football match is when you're there.
NO commentary bending the truth of what's happening
NO replays
NO stats to try to warp what's happening
NO limits on who you can watch at any time (especially in my lofy seat)
It used to boil my fucking piss watching Eriksen in his last year, casually jog around the middle of the park going nowhere near the ball. I'd then get home and see some prick praising him for running 10k. That's EASY.
Then there is the pass completion stats - fuck off. Watching a player from the stands dither on the ball then knock it back to a team mate is not successful. It's hindrance.
Highlights, stats, metrics, they can all show what someone wants you to see specifically. They don't allow you to form your own opinion.
And even full live TV coverage is not always indicative of what is going on.
The crazy thing is loads on here never go to games and also never played the game to appreciate the level these players are actually at. .
Just rely on twitter and tv to tell them what’s happening.
Almost clueless.
But opinions elbows assholes etc etc
I turn the commentary off most games now (it used to be just ours), especially if it is Martin fucking Tyler. It is a completely different experience and definitely a better one. Having it on for the games Sky are covering or BT when Liverpool play are just horrendous.
