If we sell Ndiaye personally I'll be disappointed. It's defo a good deal for us £ wise but football is entertainment and he is entertaining. We won’t replace him. The excitement when he escapes an impossible situation is the only
exciting thing we ever see.
If we sell and it's Jacob Murphy I'll need a new Sat 3pm hobby.

According to the Bobble, no contact by Al Hilal has been made.

Listen, Blues.
If he wants to leave to go into football obscurity (after we plucked him out of it) , then sell now and get the highest amount we possibly can.
Good riddance.
It's all about money now. Football has lost its appeal for many people as not too many "star players" are interested in trophies/honours.
It's all about image and money.
Football has been rotting away for many years.
It's a circus.
It's barely watchable these days.
Money came into our game like a cancer, and cancer spreads.
I said a long time ago, when the likes of Mason Holgate and Ben Godfrey can afford to drive the same lambo as C Ronaldo, then the game as we knew it is long gone.
Pampered millionaires getting as much money and exposure as they can for their Instagram accounts.
There's no incentive anymore except money.

Think they have contacted Ndiaye's agent but not the club. Initial sounding out whether he would be interested in a deal.
I hope Ndiaye stays. We need all the goal threat we can get. I'm semi tempted to keep McNeil if we keep Barry.

Well he's been sounding off about how he wants Champions League football, but if he goes to the Saudi League then it really shows that what he really wants is more money, just like the rest of them. They use Champions League as an excuse but it's all about the money.
And do you know what, I don't blame the lad.
His mate Gana has now gone, so why stick around when he can earn millions playing in a nothing league.
Football as we know it is dead. It's now a game played by millionaires, owned by multi millionaires and neither really give a toss about the average supporter.

What worries me more ed025 is who exactly are we going to spend the money on? There isn't exactly a list of 50m players queuing up to play for us
I think at best we'll sign a couple of clubs fringe players who have a year left on their contracts and they won't set the world alight
Moyes won't buy a goalscorer and even if he did (like jelavic) he'll ruin him in one season
Personally I don't want a Def mid
I hate Def Mid's
I want attacking midfielders who know how to shoot from distance or create chances (like arteta/cahill ) but I know we just ain't going to spend that money well
{Ed025's Note - it has to be a balance Pablo, im sure you would want a DM if it was Declan Rice or Ngolo Kante mate, im not sure how any proceeds would be used but there are still a lot of good affordable players out there but im not confident that our scouting network could find them..

Our scouts are useless Ed. They were told to find someone who could tie the opposition up in knots so they have found a 12 year old who does a mean clove hitch, reef knot and bowline
