One of the things that bugs me a bit with the whole saga is direct comparisons to Sonny after his first season.
Yes, he wasn't settled and wanted out, but he was streets ahead of what Ndombele has shown in 19/20. Quite frankly, I think it's also obvious that Son has a remarkable dedication and work rate which will always give a player the best chance of eventually 'clicking' with a new team.
Ndombele just seems like the opposite. I have very little faith in him coming good for us.
Sure, it's a risk, but so is selling him after one season where he was injured for half the year. If we can get actual pieces we need from Inter then it makes sense because there are a lot of gaps to fill in the squad at the moment, but anything with Ndombele is likely going to drag out regardless, so I'm not sure if the club is really losing too much by waiting. I don't think Europa registration should be an issue since it's a different phase of the tournament, but I'll admit that I'm not 100% sureMaybe, but we'd be screwing ourselves over to a certain extent if we were looking for a player (or two) from Inter in a swap deal. They'd have zero pre-season and we might have some issue getting them registered for the EL group stages.
I mean, there's always Lautaro Martínez but that'd be some impressive hardball by Levy to swap him for Ndombele.I'm trying to find it in the thread, but is there anyone from Inter that would be of impact outside of Škriniar (RB/ST)? I feel like Mou loves Cirkin/Davies at LB.
Martinez doesn't seem like a Mou striker - but he is quite good.I mean, there's always Lautaro Martínez but that'd be some impressive hardball by Levy to swap him for Ndombele.

Can't be any worse than our current DM. With it basically being a swap, I see it as a free hit at getting a quite good DM. If it works out then great. If not, we didnt really risk much & can sell him on. Not expecting him to be an amazing DM. But even if he is a consistent 7 out of 10 DM then its an improvement.I’m still clinging on to the hope that he is the missing piece of the jigsaw and he will allow us to play GLC and Ndombele as a midfield 3
Always remember your currency conversion! He's saying 17m euros so it is still £15m.Romano reporting the fee is 17 mil not 15. Still a good deal either way.
This final might well have some bearing on our business...

I don't want to be the one to spoil it, but Dier has been playing CB for the last 2 months.Can't be any worse than our current DM.

I think he scores a few thunderbolts too.
Seems like the forum is split on him. Quite good to quite bad.
I guess at the end of the day its plugging the holes rather than a big step forward to take us to the next level. But this is a club that is cool with signing nobody so we can't expect too much.
Also, could this be the end for diers DM career?![]()

watkins and Benrahma would be shrewd business
