2025/26 Iliman Ndiaye

[Drico]

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

One critical factor is the manager, though, in any walk of life. People don't leave their jobs. They leave their managers. Imagine being managed by this defensive dinosaur. Hard to blame anyone with ambition thinking they can do better...

Buy full backs and a striker who can score and watch illy thrive.

I reckon it will be a straight shootout between Villa & Arsenal for him, if they likely move on the likes of Martinelli, Jesus etc. Loves to stockpile a big squad Arteta and they had been a little flat offensively in the run in. I think he’d love a profile like Ndiaye there. No doubt, they’d look to flog players our way.

People saying dont sell your best players, there are only a few clubs in the world who dont have to sell their best players and we are not one of them. If he wants off and we get a suitable bid, then let him go.

The better teams make sure that money is reinvested wisely.

Arsenal have a few like him. They need other priorities. I can see Chelsea being interested

 

[Somerset Blue]

He’s gone, this only ends one way for us. Thanks for the moments of brilliance wish we could keep these nice things.

If he wont sign a new deal then the only choices are to sell this summer or next summer, as we cant afford to let him go into the last year of his contract.

oh i get you mate you don’t let a good player leave for free

but maybe he’s seeing how this season will go

 

[windymiller]

Hope he stays but if he is going to go needs to be done early rather than dragging out all summer.

World cup, though, innit.

New York Times saying he's rejected multiple contract extensions.

Get a grip. People leave clubs that aren’t competing in the champions league to join teams playing in the champions league… and of course pay more money.

Whatever you think about this Moyes is hardly a factor.

If he want to go, he goes and we get big money. We then sign someone on the up and hopefully make money on them too.

This needs to be the tactic whoever is in charge

 

[goldfinchmule]

Be gutted to see Ndiaye go. But if we had Grealish on the left and Bowen on the right, with money left over, I could understand it a bit.

George and Dibling as back ups/hopefully actually getting played.

Even though I’d understand it, don’t think we have had anyone like Ndiaye for a very long time who can get people off their feet when it looks like there is nothing on whatsoever.

Got a bit of the Duncan McKenzie about him, hope he stays.

He's also got a 3 year contract so you'd hope we could set a time frame and valuation to get things done otherwise it's another year. Probably a naive idea...
