2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[canuckblue]

Who even is Anthony Scotland? Is he reputable? Just a blah account looking for engagement? Perhaps Moyes’ burner account looking to distract fan attention

Chico at it again?

 

[the golden visionary]

Ill believe it when I see him in another strip

 

[Lanolin]

Everyone has a price, every club bar 2 or 3 are selling clubs. Be sad to see him leave if he does, one of the only players we have who gets you off your seat and that's what its all about. Same people not arsed about him leaving are happy giving Keane contract extensions and that's a worrying fanbase.

Is there anyone really saying they’re not arsed though? I haven’t seen that. There are people saying they don’t think it’d be the end of the world if he was sold for big money but not that they actually want him gone.

Yes.

 

[Cels]

Let's hope Iliman Ndiaye has a really good World Cup, so we can sell him for a decent price and use the money to buy three or four very mediocre players that Moysie will hardly give minutes to. COYB!

As I said, every bit of info that there is online has the same figure. 45k p/w.

Fully aware that these sites not entirely reliable as I already said, but no I didn't just make up a number. Even if his wage was double or triple what is listed here what you said would still be patently wrong, as Grealish is on 300k p/w plus whatever loan fee we had to pay City.

Ndiaye cost us 15m to sign and has been reported by Boyland that he's not anywhere close to being one of our higher payed players, if that's a good enough source for you. Here it is in the Athletic. View attachment 355744

Grealish is not in any conceivable way cheaper than Ndiaye. One season of Grealish has probably about the same as Ndiaye's entire contract including transfer fee.

It's really not debatable at all.

I thought it said they had a question from an Everton ball bag

 

[windymiller]

But we payed 30m for Barry 40m for dibling and 25m for beto.

Yep, we're bad at transfers but Barry and Dibling are plenty young enough to have resale potential we just shouldn't have overpaid for them in the first place. Furthermore, some signings just won't work out, that's life, with those two we would at least get something back, with older players they just see out their massive contracts and leave for nothing. Look at how many we've had in that position in the last five years alone. It's the road to ruin.

Chico at it again?

No if it was Chico wind up the person would have been called Angus McTartan

 

[Haydn]

Personally I wouldn't begrudge him agitating for a move this Summer. In a World Cup year and on the back of the AFCON win his stock is likely to be at it's highest and he's coming into the prime years of his career.

He's shown flashes of brilliance this year but it's been a largely underwhelming season imo and he certainly hasn't produced the number of goals or stats that make big clubs sit up and take notice. A cracking player and an absolute joy to watch on his day, but he might need better players around him to really achieve his potential and if we get a good price for him I'd wish him well.

Watched him for Senegal v US last night. He was largely anonymous and ineffective, contrary to Prem opposition tactics, he wasn’t double marked. He didn’t need to be.

Maybe the player we have seen since his return from Afcon is the real Ndiaye ? He hasn’t got an exactly glittering back story, in terms of clubs.
Boreham Wood
Sheffield Utd (inc loan to Hyde Utd)
Marseille
Everton

He’s 26 now, needs to have an absolute stand-out World Cup if he’s going to move into mega money transfer territory, with one of the “top” teams qualified for European footy.

Personally, can’t see it.

The hard truth with him is he’s stagnated for us. He isn’t getting better as he goes along here, I’d say for fairly obviously reasons. The trouble with it is for the sake of his career it’s probably best he moves on now one way or the other. Maybe it’s not a pure step up, but under this manager a sideways step might be the preferred move still.

 

[Noble Savage]

I don't want him to leave but if Ratboy is worth 70 , we should be asking for something North of 75 .

 

[Frosty1878]

He’s a good player with skill and a pleasure to watch at times, as we’ve put up with some crap for so long. Happy if he stays and also wouldn’t mind if we got good money for him but would prefer to keep him.

[f.t.r.s]

Maybe offer him a proper deal?

I rmemeber cahill rejecting contracts too and he still ended up staying once we offered a decent contract
