I don’t get the lazy comments. His distance covered and number of sprints stats was always high.

He’s lazy in possession where it actually counts though
Ndombele himself has said he prefers to play as a 10 and sees that as his best possession.
I disagree with him and you do as well, but it's not like Jose is the only one who doesn't want Ndombele to play deeper.
How about his off-field distractions then?
Dier seems to have got it together, why not Dele?
Dier has been played regularly, allowed to make mistskes and recover from them, Dele gets minutes sporadically and is seemingly expected to be faultless when played.
Think his off the field "distractions" are somewhat over stated and more a problem for supporters who think players shouldn't have a life outside of the club.
30 if we are lucky imo
3 years left on his contract. I wonder if he's thinking i'll wait this out because this manager will be done here before i am...

Why do you think Levy has only ever been interested in a loan deal
I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous and probably has no correlation to the real life Dele Alli situation, but I understand when Mourinho says he doesn't fit in.... With our players and the holding role he doesn't even fit in my FIFA 21 squad anymore.
Diers issue was less mental, he actually had physical illness issues didn't he? And between him and Dele, Dier is much more of a warrior type, which is what Mourinho wants if anything was taken from that Documentary
I think he only brings in money if he stays in the PL. Probably Levy’s lesser preferred option but someone offering something crazy like 40-55m may sway him.
Any move out of the PL would likely be a loan first. If successful, 1. the team buys him; 2. Assuming he wants to stay, we give him another chance; 3. Dele’s wants to leave the club but stay in league, West Ham/Everton were convinced by Dele’s loan spell, Levy gets them to pay 60m for Dele.
He’s kind of useless really when you discover options
We'd be better off investing time in Dele to get him back on track because the upside to that is much more than any fee we could get from him now. He'd get back to his best with Ndombele and Hojberg behind him rather than Sissoko and Winks I'm sure.
Ndombeles good but he's not THAT good
Dele is a gonna, dier situation is he is learning on the job, in which he is three months in.
Dele has done nought for over 2 1/2 years to arrest his rut, and all you got from him during last season, is the big 'i am', stropping, not helping team mates, constant jestering of the arms in dissatisfaction.
Even if poch was here fitting in the team would of been a headache.
Yeah needs to be a better driver, that bus is not going to park by itself.
Dele's poor form only really covers the 2nd half of 19/20, prior to that he was doing well he just wasn't playing thr pure attacking role that people expected of him, so when the goals & assists dried up they didn't notice he was playing an effective pressing midfield game - took one for the team, kept his head down and got on with it. This Big I Am stuff is such a weird thing to label him with as it's clearly not how he behaved at all.
