Ndombele

Anyone else think it might be assuming a bit too much that this guy is all of a sudden going to be a revelation? Dembele was good, very good but his goal and assist rate hardly set the world alight. This guy might not even be as good as last season's version of Sissoko and we lost something like 11 league games with him. Takes most players a season to get up to speed with how we train and play, let alone the old its the best league in the world crap.

At 22, coming in from another league, I think its only fair to say patience needs to be offered.

That said - by comparison to Sissoko he should offer a significant upgrade, IF he can find his footing.

An integral player that we're about to spend a record amount (nearly doubling our current record) to replace?

Come on this is football, if he doesn't get a hat trick on debut we'll have to release him immediately.

Hope he's given patience if he comes. Of course the best thing would be if he doesn't need it, but like you say expecting an immediate massive impact might be assuming too much.

Hopefully we'll have a strong 11 with mainly players already here when the season starts.
