Holy shit, we legitimately just signed the best young midfielder in all of world football. This bloke is absolutely mental.

For those wanting to see what he can do now that we signed him, look no further than the video below.

I love Moose, but TN is MILES (or KILOMETERS:) more skilled. Only similarity is the strength in possession. More agile, better vision, better passing, better everything.

I would think Moose is still harder to get the ball from that Ndombele. that may change in time however. But I agree that TN's other attributes make up for any deficiency in that department. Having a guy that can not only tackle, hold on to the ball and make a progressive dribble or pass is the complete package. The only thing I worry about is his dribbling is pretty loose and I wonder if some of those touches he gets away with in France will become turnovers in the PL. I've only seen highlight reels so I'm just speculating.

I think this guy is going to be a monster but take offense to Dembele getting called limited based on stats, he dictated how we played. Ndombele has scored 6 goals in 130 games and not many more assists in a mickey mouse league.

Good points. Could also be that he was looser in the dribble at times because he knew he could get away with it. That reel vs City shows he's capable of performing against PL competition.

I’m sorry but this is mostly bollocks.

Even if you’re right there’s no way of knowing if he transfers it to the Prem.

Dembele was a genius.
