Ndombele has the ability to become better than kdb ...
Give over.

They're a crap team with a couple of good attackers papering over the cracks. Their defence is woeful (and yet they decided to give them new contracts??).
They'll be erratic with their results until PEA and Lacazette leaves. Then they'll be solidly mid-table.
Give over.
TBF, Ndombele was good at first under Poch (in his first 5 games he got 2 goals, 1 assist and a MOM contender in at least 3 of the games), he seemed to do down hill after been hooked off at half time in the 3-0 loss to Brighton, when he was pretty shit but still better than the rest of the midfield that half.
Came in to post this anyway. For those wondering along the lines of why Barcelona might want him I'd point to their recent transfer business in this article. It isn't anything to write home about.
What's going wrong with Barcelona and Real Madrid's recruitment?
With hundreds of millions spent, but little return, is there a problem behind the scenes with the way the Spanish giants recruit players?theathletic.com
After selling Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for €222 million, the club spent a combined €375 million on Coutinho, Ousmane Dembele, Paulinho, Nelson Semedo, Yerry Mina, Gerard Deulofeu and Malcom. This season, a further €273 million was spent on Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong, Martin Braithwaite, Neto, Junior Firpo, Emerson and Marc Cucurella. At this point, it is hard to describe any as a clear success.

Interesting. So FDJ hasn't been a success then?
The irony is Paulinho was one of their better signings, and was actually a hit. Paulinho was let go because of the non-EU player rules in Spain, and the club deciding the wanted Arthur and coutinho instead. So, they replaced him for Vidal. But he had a good season there.This post has made me appreciate the chairman even more.
I'm still shaking my head at Paulinho.

I doubt very much that it makes any sense to compare apple for apple the trajectory of Son and Ndombele.I wouldn’t be happy to take a hit on Ndombele, think it is too early to cut our losses. Have seen enough to think he could come good and remember a lot of people on here who wanted to sell Son after his first season. I could understand if a huge offer came in that covered the outlay, but otherwise would give him next season.
It compares in the sense that both showed glimpses of talent in first season but didn’t look ready for the PL. Ndombele definitely has it in him to become a star for us and for the league in general.I doubt very much that it makes any sense to compare apple for apple the trajectory of Son and Ndombele.

hahahahaha point.who is also South American
There was a question with Son's Fitness, he himself admitted he struggled to get fit enough after he was injured (he missed 4 games and returned Mid November). Son only managed 1 x 90 min game that season, Ndombele has finished 3, in a more physically demanding position.Son and Ndomele are apples and pears. Ndombele isn't playing because he's never fit and doesn't appear to have the mentality for it. That was never in question with Son - similar to Moura, I just never got the feeling he was Poch's first choice in his spot until he forced it to be.
