Thought he was brilliant until we shifted him to the right hand side. Then the game just seemed to get taken away from us.

Our play barely touched the right side after the shift. All balls to Barry or George but they did an awful job

He doesn’t get in the game on the right. Now there are many factors to that such as the right back still not understanding the position and the #10 having a very strong bias to the inside left channel but nonetheless he doesn’t stay in the game and that can’t happen.
It also leads to a really important conversation about how useful keeping Grealish would be. We need to think it all through before the summer.

Agree, the entire central midfield plays more on the left hand side - hard for the RW to get involved especially Ndiaye who needs people to link up with

Should've stuck him up top instead of that lump Barry.
He knows we're the goal is ,and strong in the challenge.
I mean you've got your head in the sand if you don't think he's gathered a lot of admirers from top teams. Ndiaye is currently doing all this in a team with no real fullbacks an average striker and pragmatic manager. Imagine if he was in a team with attacking fullbacks, clinical striker and football playing manager, he'd be unreal.
He is under contract for 3 more years and if there isn't a minimum fee release clause then he will only be sold if another club meets the valuation of Everton football club.
Given that Elanga (11 goals in 74 premier league games for Notts Forest) and Kudus (13 goals in 65 premier league games for West Ham) were both reportedly sold for £55 million last summer then Ndaiye (15 goals in 58 premier league games for Everton) will surely be valued at the very least around £60 million and more likely £65-70 million as that's his market value is based on similar players with poorer returns. Elanga has 0 goals in 28 premier league performances for Newcastle this season which reflects what a truly dreadful signing he was as most of us predicted on here.
Elanga will be 23 years old whilst both Ndaiye and Kudus will be 26 years old in September.
If Ndaiye is sold I would expect a fee in the region of at least £60-£70 million. Given he was reportedly signed for just over £15 million then that would do absolute wonders for FFP/PSR and really open the floodgates to spend big in the summer.
I would rather keep him but just making the point that if he's sold it would be for a huge fee.
There is no praise high enough for Ndiaye, who offers an extremely good attack threat. To get even more out of him in the team we need players around him who can link up and play (Baines/Pienaar mode). The team needs to be built around him on the left side where he should always start, and allow him to drift inside and take on players. We are a far better team with him on the left.
It's great having a player like Iliman Ndiaye, who you always feel can make something positive happen during a game.

Or put George up top and sub Dibling on to play on the right
He's so sadly wasted in our immobile, slow and pondersome squad. Nobody to link up with, nobody to overlap him when he creates space, nobody to take advantage of the openings he creates. This summer surely must be spent buying quality to surround him, a left back, a striker and a new central midfielder better than Roehl or Iroegbunam.
Obviously aside from that we also need a right back, a second new striker, likely a right winger and maybe even a centre half, but that's another story.

He was properly up for it on Sunday, he was devastated when his goal was chalked off.
More Ndiayes please. Less crap.

He's basically our only sellable asset along with Garner due to Branthwaite looking like a bit of a crock. It will be interesting to see what decision is made over his future as there will be interest and we won't be able to keep splurging money with no sales.
