Gundogan is more of a holding midfielder than Ndombele, seriously that would piss me off
I know it’s off topic, but B Silva was used as a wide player.I get your point, but B Silva wasn’t a typical CM when they signed him.
My guess is they (a) feel they need greater physical presence in midfield (b) see him as an excellent prospect who it would make sense to invest in anyway (c) they could well convert him in time
They’re a massive threat here IMO

Ndombele needs to ask himself if he wants to play every week or rotate.
City trying to get them to come down a bit below that?Dont really understand talk of rodri deal being difficult, supposedly he has a 70 release clause
City trying to get them to come down a bit below that?
I'm sure they will too, but doesn't hurt to try and see if they'll come down in price. Even though they have all the money in the world it's not great business to just pay asking price first go. They know if they want him they can pay that money if needed.Yeah possibly, city dont strike me as a settle for option b, im sure theyll get their man.

Failed physical, maybe?Paper talk was that City already had gone and paid the clause. Don't know what would have happened. Maybe he didn't fancy it.
ITK post mortem:
‘We had agreed terms with the player who was keen, just agreeing price with Aulas...but then City came in late and blew us out of the water. No ones fault.
Poch is disappointed but there are other irons in the fire and there is money to spend, keep the faith!’
...you know it!
His ass.Where/who is this from?

I thought he never ventured beyond October 21st, 2015...Marty McFly.
I see him as a ballcarrier/ball winner like Sissoko, however a much better passer. Can really spot through balls and hit on runs.Having not seen much of Ndombele, would he fit into an increasingly likely Maurizio Sarri set up Juventus side? I gather he would just play the Barkley/Kovacic role?

On topic: It would seriously piss me off to see Citeh nab N'Dombele. But they do need a new DCM as Gundogan is running his contract down... Get it done ASAP, Levy.
I don’t know but NDombele hasn’t impressed me. Have had doubts in my mind about this one. Wonder why everybody has been creaming themselves. Not fretting over this. I’d prefer someone who is more mobile and with a better first touch and to suggest he is worth 87m quid or whatever makes me laugh. Plus the fact he is Lyon stinks the whole deal up to high heaven. I can see us getting ripped off big time.
He certainly has a value that isn't worth going over. Nice player, quick feet but it's a lot of money for someone that I'm not totally convinced about. Honestly I think c£50m is a decent deal for all involved by Lyon will never go for it. That's the issue as far as I can tell. We identify players that we like, the selling club puts a silly price on their head and we then back away leaving most of our fans in disgust.
I like Nldombele but he definitely has a limit when it comes to his realistic valuation.
