Realistically, should we let Ndiaye go? He's brilliant on the ball, and is one of our only reliable creative sparks, but the numbers don't match what I'm seeing. Being tricky and unpredictable on the ball doesn't translate to goals, and if someone is willing to pay big money, couldn't we build better without him? Just a thought.

I've always said, no one player is bigger than the team. Often, once a player starts making noises about wanting bigger and better, it's the beginning of the end. Be great if he stayed and kicked on, but if he goes, we must accept nothing less than top dollar. Any bids under 80 million should be laughed off.

Personally id like him to stay, but if he wants to go and we can get 70+ million for him, id sell, like above, he has a lot of tricks but his numbers aren't great.

Same as that, he goes, we want top dollar.

The fee has to be right by today's market. It's reported that his representatives want a £40million clause. That's way too low now that players are going for over £100million. We have him for another 3 seasons, so no need to panic. I'd say offers north of £75million would be a realistic base line.

He's been great for us, but I get a sense that he will go to another club and end up doing not so well. Thrives with the ball at his feet, but often it leads to nothing.

Only way we should accept a 40m clause is if it's only activated in his final year of his contract.

Always thought of him as a 10, but then we have no wingers.
