Confirmed Signing Iliman Ndiaye

Illiman takes up Gomes's squad spot in my opinion, rather than the Dukes.

Gomes scored 4 goal and 7 assists in 114 games for us.

Illiman i think will vastly improve on that output and influence and if he does we will be better.

He's vastly better value then Gomes also.

He's a link we've been missing for a long time.
THE MiSSING LINK!!!!!!!!

It’s a squad game, some games he might be playing 10, others he might play wide, sometimes Doucoure will play. No one has to replace anyone. We only really had the option for any sort of rotation based on form last season in midfield where Garner Gueye and Onana could swap without a drop off in form. Nearly every offer position we had to play the same players pretty much all the time or the results suffered. If Ndiaye offers a credible option that Dele Danjuma Dobbin didn’t offer us last season then it’s an improvement.
 

Too much exaggeration here to take seriously, we need a way of upgrading our final third quality and I hope this lad does that by bringing something new to the position ahead of Doucoure, but to suggest Doucoure is or has been an awful player is laughable.

Quite a few haven't got over him calling out lampard as the clown he was

Nate is is awful, he is just an important player for us … which is bad
 
He is technically a poor player yes, but through his energy and agility he can be an effective player - for me he is more an impact sub

Having players like him is a massive reason we don’t score enough and have so little possession.

How many other teams in the league would have him as a first choice player? Never mind one of their “ big” players
 

Very much like this signing except, and call me a lunatic if you like….

…. would this preclude a Richarlison signing?

DONT TELL ME YOU DONT THINK ABOUT IT
I think about it every single day.

I dont generally pine for players we sell, but Richy, he was kinda special and he needs us right now.

Sadly the dream involves me and Magot Robbie watching games in bed together, thats how realistic I consider it.

Yeah hence the impact sub….bring him in in last 15 when needed

What kind of impact would he be able to make that a half decent technical footballer couldn’t?

Also 120k a week and our highest earner being an impact sub is not ideal.

I’m not arguing with you just pointing out that we have a very weird situation here.

Best case would be if we could offload him to Saudi for 10m imo

Yep agree with you….Im just saying where I see his ‘value’ e.g. not a 90 minute footballer but he does bring enough energy and dynamism to create confusion certainly in the final third….his salary is largely irrelevant simply because he’s in what he is on, Dyche can’t effect that but he can effect how he uses him if he has choices which by all accounts this new signing may give him.m
