Excellent game.

Should be scoring one or both of those chances though. Particularly the volley. Must improve in that area.

Sometimes with players, there are two prices, what the player is worth to their current club and what a prospective buyer is willing to pay. At present, I don't see any prospective buyer being willing to pay anywhere near Ndiaye's value to the team. Yes, he has a few shortcomings, his lack of goals being the really big one, but overall, he's worth his weight in gold to Everton. Looking at some of the prices being bandied about for what are pretty average players, what is £75m getting you in today's market? It's definitely not getting you another Ndiaye.
At this stage of the window too, any replacement coming in needs to be absolutely oven ready to walk straight into the squad and be having an immediate impact. For that sort of proven player, you will need big, big money.

If he was posting double figures in goals, which he should do the amount of chances he has, he would have been snapped up by a bigger side this summer.

The ball was never more than a foot away from his feet when in control, such an excellent touch and control.
Also so strong for such a little fella.

Iliman and Tyrique's highlights videos went for a combined 8 minutes. There was only 101 minutes in the game. Great wing play.

City paying £84m for an 18 year old.

I've no idea what players are actually worth anymore

That Bouaddi does look incredible though - more concerning is the numbers being touted for people like Anderson, Wharton and Alex Scott

Chances of him leaving before the end of the window = zero

Things gathering a bit of pace now.

If we replace with Grealish I don’t think we becomes worse team.

Didn’t look like a player nearing a move tonight like but I do feel things are going to start to progress now city have a lot out the door and Arsenal needing a wide player.

If it's City, looking at some of the fees they've paid and received, they'd need to be talking somewhere between £80-100m for me.

Don't care if he's worth that or not. If you want him badly, pay the money.

Grealish George Dibling Johnson is a nice blend of options.

As much as I like him I’m not sure we are massively weaker by replacing him with a fit Grealish.

Weaker yes, granted, but for c£80m?

Neither of them offer much in the way of posting end product figures so I don’t think it would be a bad deal.
