Out of form coutinho still has better record in barcelona and bayern munich than ndombele who actually has one good season in his professional career ...
Ndombele has 2 very good seasons, and you are comparing records for 8 and 10/winger, with Coutinho having good numbers but not playing good.

Ndombele has one good season and one very good season. In two of the seasons, he was criticized by his coaches because he didn't put effort in lesser games ...

Cut to Levy continously replying "sorry, are you saying EIGHTEEN million?" down the phone until they either hang up or say fuck it and give in.
Ha - tbf Grealish won’t even be on the radar now.

Top class assist tonight against Juventus. Promising we have been tracking him for two years, hopefully he’s one for next summer.

Great prospect but he strikes me as similar type of player to Dele. Playing in that shadow striker role.

We should be trying to get a MF who plays a bit further back like Sabitzer.
would he not be a kind of replacement for Eriksen’s creativity no?

Would be unreal signing but Roma won’t sell now they have new owners and also surely we don’t have £45m to spend on any players and if we do it should be going on a striker and a CM to replace Ndombele.
 

he is you know!

We've already been told we are interested but nothing is going to happen this window.

It's not going to change because we can't offload anyone.

Isn't Pellegrini better fit for what we need?
Pellegrini would also be a great for us, but this link makes me suspect Mourinho is looking for another goal scoring #10 / floating attacking midfielder primarily as competition for Dele [and the wingers as well given his versatility].

My guess is that Zaniolo would be a replacement for Ndombele, who currently seems nailed on to compete with Dele for this floating "Lampard role" instead of as a traditional box-to-box #8 if he stays this season.

People wanted another playmaker and looking in football slices Pellegrini has very good numbers for that, when Zaniolo indeed is more Dele type

Plus he's going to be relatively expensive isn't he. The link doesn't seem to be going away though.
We ain’t signing him unless ndombele goes, that’s for certain. However, like with zaniolo here, we keep getting told ndombele isn’t going to be sold. Why would we even offer if we didn’t see a possibility, most likely after negotiations. Likewise with inter for ndombele. I think there could be something in this, but only if ndombele goes ofc.

True, if we’ve offered you’d think there is a tiny chance but yea must be reliant on ndombele going surely. I’d take that ‘swap’ all day long.
