2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[BluePeadar]

I couldn't fathom how we bought Grealish and KDH and going after Dibling unless Ndiaye was leaving. Looks like he is gone and will be round for the Home Stadium unveil as a send off

Sounds far fetched, but we haven’t bought KDH and agreed an expensive loan for Grealish for them to be “squad depth.”

Assuming Dibling gets done too, how do we think Moyes is getting him, KDH, Grealish and Ndiaye all on the pitch. And what sits behind them if he does, just Gana On his own?!?!

Don’t think he will go, but despite his goal tally, he has some work to do this season, and might get bounced from left wing to right wing a lot.

 

[Tel001]

It's a fair point I think. 7 non-penalty goal involvements isn't a lot really, he's a player with a lot of ability and we need to find a way to get more quantifiable contributions from him.

Mate he played half a season in a Dyche team that barley crossed the half way line

Didn’t he have like 3/4 goal line clearances in that half season too?

Only Dyche could turn a tricky winger / dribbler into the last line of defence

Exactly yeah. In fact I think Garner will lose out and KDH plays a more free role alongside Gueye, which might be a good thing because Gana is kin useless attacking.

 

[AusToffee]

I'd honestly like to see Ndiaye play upfront.
Watching him once again on the weekend turning and weaving his way through 4 players on the wing, I'd love for him to be picking up the ball 25yards out and turning the CBs inside out. We dont need a tall lumber upfront as ours cant even trap or control a ball anyway.

Ndiaye
Mcneil - Grealish - Dibling
KDH - Gana

yea would be interesting to have Ndiaye as a false nine
if say we had Fofana on lw

however atm we have the likes of McNeil whose only purpose is to send those crosses in to beto

u forgot Charly, whom many of us still rate
agree garner loses out as he neither does the defensive work of Gana nor is progressive enough with the ball

Ndiaye
Grealish - Alcaraz - Dibling
KDH - Gana

 

[chicoazul]

So many of you need urgent therapy.

How much per hour mate?

Fofana would be a major signing.

He can play either side of course so would give Dibling & Ndiaye competition. Also allow them to move more centrally at times.

Also, with his rapid pace he'd add a different threat along with getting us up the pitch very quickly.

Sign him and there would be a lot of chaos all across the front. That means goals.

Well yes that was the entire point being made. It’s not a criticism of him, the point is we need to find a way to get him into positions where he can do the most damage.

 

[MACCA75]

For heavens sake, we need 2 players per position, and as soon as we are close to it, people are desperate to sell someone. We need N’Diaye and we’ll need McNeil this season too.

Disagree with this. I dont think we need 2 players for every position.

If we had 5 attacking midfielders then thats fine, 6 is overkill.

Great, well the word is Grealish is injured now.

And btw, McNeil, N’Diaye, Lindstrom, DCL, Broja and Chermiti all missed months at a time last season.

New contract here please Dan.
