2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[Liam-EFC]

100% he’ll be leaving this summer.

He’s in the prime of his career, he won’t want to waste another season playing for David Moyes.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

Maybe offer him a proper deal?

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

Rubbish - tell him to take it or leave it.

We should be concentrating on extending Moyes Contract for at least another three years.

 

[Nymzee]

Got 3 years left. If he wants to go, let him.

'The club are likely to place a prohibitive valuation, in line with the €80million Barcelona paid Newcastle United for Anthony Gordon, on Ndiaye in an attempt to deter suitors'

Three years left.. won’t be going anywhere if a club doesn’t offer the money we want

 

[ValBlue]

Not getting European football of any kind was always going to lead to the strong possibility of Ndiaye leaving

 

[Melchizedek]

I'll be disappointed if Ndiaye leaves. One of the few players that would stir a little excitement when he got the ball.
If he does go, I hope we get a large transfer fee. His stock is probably the highest it has ever been, so should translate to a good fee.

I suspect that's because Newcastle are one of the suitors

 

[toffeeblue9]

What I'd say about Ndiaye, as much as I like him, is that he doesn't actually create an awful lot given the ability he has.

He's genuinely a joy to watch at times, but I do sometimes wonder if his output doesn't match his talent.

He does chip in with a few goals, so can't knock that and I'd want really good money if we sold him, but he isn't massively quick and I don't think he really consistently has the end product of a top, top player.

 

[NathDogg]

Pathetic now reporting that multiple new contract offers have been rejected by illy - think he’s fed up of Moyes as well.

I’m surprised Moyes plays him as he doesn’t like anyone with a bit of flair.

We shouldn't be offering him anything mad, that's the type of ridiculous decision that's got us into the mess we've been in. He's 26, he's got 3 years left on his current deal and discounting penalties he has 14 goals and assists combined in 2 seasons, there's just no reason for us to be doubling his wages. He's a very good player, he's brilliant to watch with the ball at his feet and god knows we don't have enough players who get you out of your seat like he does, but he's not so good that the club need to be held to ransom to keep him.

It’s exactly the problem. Now I don’t think we’ve created an environment for him to get better and that has to be taken into account. I don’t view him as irreplaceable though.

Ideally the manager would change first and then we could figure out the players.

Back on the left, Jack central, insert RW who has a laser cross...POW.

 

[witchdoc187]

If he wants to go that doesn't mean it's Moyes fault FFS. There are so many reasons why a player might want to leave. None of which any of us know. Location, family, money, mates, European football, better contract. The list is endless
