I did mention that his problems were technically and not fitness or work rate related, whereas Ndombele's is the opposite in the fact that he is incredibly gifted technically, but lacks the work rate and ethic needed to push him forward.
I don't think this is enough evidence to write him off, I'd even argue as to say he deserves at least another season before we can start talking about him being a flop or bad signing.
I've always respected others opinions and you are all entitled to yours, I just have immense patience when it comes to things like this and I don't expect anyone else to think the way I do. That's the beauty of a forum, we can share opinions without needing to argue about it.
I'm certainly not writing him off. He has immense talent and potential but that won't buy him any favours from the fans if he carries on either not giving a shit or looking like he doesn't. It seems this has been a long running issue with him and he needs to snap out of it pretty quick if he wants to get anywhere and avoid the wrath of the supporters. He'll get time primarily because his current approach will have red flagged him to anybody who might have been interested. His attitude probably slipped under the radar in France to a degree but it will be in the biggest spotlight in world football in the EPL.
