Can't see him featuring in any part of the starting eleven next season.

I would suspect Levy will cut him a deal on the remainder of his contract, Lo Celso likewise.

I'm sure he does want to come back to Spurs, where he can continue to be lazy and earn decent money, on loan he has to actually put in a bit of effort.

I’m sure he said…“Hmm….Maybe I’ll go back to Spurs”.

Whoever the new boss is gonna be, good luck with Ndom. Don’t hold your breath!!

He has a lot of work to do to win back the fans, but its not impossible - look at Emerson.
If he can knuckle down, stop being lazy and start showing the talent he was bought for then he could be an asset under the right manager. But personally, I don't think he is capable of turning it around, but I hope he tries.

Levy may just give him the chance and then restrict our new manager to sign anyone, so he saves on any contract write off, selling on a loss or spending to replace him. I won't be surprised if that happens.

It is a lazy analysis to simply label him lazy. He is clearly not well suited to the intensity of the PL and certainly doesn't have the engine for it in CM. I wonder if there could be a role for him similar to what he has done for Napoli where he is a sub that comes on for the last 20 - 25mins in tight games or to keep possession of the ball where more control is needed. In the right formation, there could also be a role for him as a no 10 with zero defensive responsibilities where he can slide those deft passes through to the forwards. If we end up getting Madisson then he could be a back up. A pretty expensive one mind but we've already done our money so as long as we get some value out of him then that's fine with me.
