Iliman Ndiaye (City back on the menu)

[Shogun]

Still too cheap but more palatable when it's not Spurs and doesn't include pretending Richarlison is worth £35m

[sam of the south]

That’s more like it.

I think I’ll actually enjoy see him tearing it up (occasionally) at City, and giving it loads to the kop when he scores a worldy

[Bumble]

£65m+ likely means another £10m which will be achievable.

So not ideal in a world where Savinho goes for £85m but gets us out of a hole and allows us to move on.

More importantly it means Ndiaye's missus doesn't have to rip up the home improvement plans.

[Trowel]

Now the risk of Spurs has gone, I'm going to miss the little fucker

[Goaljira]

Clauses with City are more likely achievable than with Spurs, so I see this as a positive.

[MarcusFenix]

Sky reporting City have agreed a £65 million fee, £60 mill guaranteed £5 mill add ons

[Bluedylan1]

We probably won't know the exact fee til the local journos like Boyland, King etc report on it. Sky are just pissing in the wind, as they always are.

[howard1334]

Not super happy nor super sad. I like him. But this is where we are in this moment.

[blueToffee]

Hopefully it’s at least 65 mil with add ons. 60 + 5 add ons doesn’t feel right in this market and honestly I thought 70+ was fairer especially this close to the deadline.

[TheRam]

£65m is fine.

If anything it’s too much for a player who’s output was very poor last season.

Good for him. It’s a great move. Spurs is a graveyard for take talent these days. Can’t remember the last time they spent decent money on someone who ended up getting better.

Most that squad looks like it belongs in Turkey.

He’ll be a squad player at city but he’s reached the very top of the game from being a non league player not too long ago.

I’ve enjoyed us taking on players with unique journeys in the game like Iliman, Beto and Barry.

[Trowel]

[AjaxAndy]

Think we've spent all summer holding out for a hugely inflated fee, and now our bluff has turned to desperation, and everyone knows it. So £60m - £65m is probably a fair price.

If it keeps the wolves from the door and means we can also now go get Balogun and also Grealish (on loan) then that's not a bad outcome.

Will also be nice to see him go somewhere we can enjoy watching him as opposed to Spurs where that wouldn't have been possible.

[Shogun]

Top footballer. Top fella. Brought into the club. Made us a £50m profit. Come from non-league to playing for Man City in the champions league. Wish him nothing but the best.

[Gash]

Think that's a pretty decent deal, about right at that money. People comparing the Savinho deal but he's 4 years younger, higher ceiling and even though he had a quiet season last year he's still got about 12 assists over the last two seasons to Ndiaye's 3 and in fewer games. Lacks goals a bit but when you've got Haaland up front that was probably more down to Pep's structure.
