Sander Berge

He looks the right sort of profile for us (i.e. a Ndombele 12-18 months earlier in his development). Though I am a bit sceptical of players who physically dominate in weak leagues.

And you have every reason to be skeptical, but alternatively Virgil van Dijk dominated in Scotland, then went to Southampton and now looks like a truly world class defender.

Thats the only caveat for me.

Knowing nothing about the player - is he an expected first team player? Or another for the development pile?

Looking at our current thin midfield I would suggest make him a part of the first team squad and let him battle for a place. In fact looking at the type of players we are currently being linked to there is nothing to suggest we are going for any proven midfielder players. They all seem to be young and unproven

What do people think of Dendoncker? He's another player like this, and was standout for Anderlecht against us a few seasons ago.

I haven't been paying much attention but I saw he played against us and was dropped next game and not brought off the bench.
Google says he is on loan from Anderlecht to Wolves, that is very strange. Why did they loan him out?
Why don't Wolves take up the £12m option to buy him?

I think they said he started his first game of the season against us.

And by the summer I would not be surprised if it was north of £35-40m

I'm with you. That sort of emerging type players goes up 25%-50% in value at that sort of stage in their career, and can be more so if they're playing in the CL. Ndombele is being talked of in the £70m - £80m bracket, which puts him out of our reach whereas in the summer £40m odd was being quoted.
 
In fairness, I wouldn’t waste too much time being concerned with his prospective fee or the comparative disposition of the the respective leagues physicality....

We’re not going to sign anyone.
