But so could we, maybe not 8th, but outside the top 4 might as well be 8th. I'd have a lot more faith in Spurs than I would us these days, because they've actually done it. We can claim we should be in the CL, but they're the ones consistently finishing top 4.

He looks like a rich man's Sissoko from the limited YouTube videos that I have seen.
I'm assuming he is far more than that given the price tag and interest. Are there any other comparisons?

He is nothing like Sissoko.
Both has pace and are black, but one is super talent with the ball and the other doesn't know what to do with it.
Check this post
And rewatch the 20 minutes video, if you can't see his qualities, no one can help you.
NB :
He is a deep midfielder, please don't expect goal or decisive pass.
His job is to get the ball and start the attack from deep
Are there any Lyon fans or people that regularly watch them here?
Would be nice to get an opinion from someone that’s followed him all season rather than from 15 minute highlight videos.

Maybe Moussa Dembele, but less extreme and a better passer.
How did N'Domebele play next to Pogba in the last game? They have been playing in a midfield of 2.
They played together on Tuesday and won 4-0. The game before pogba was played with matuidi and sissoko and they got done by turkey
Pogba played as CDM and Tanguy in the box to box role. The opponent was extremely weak.
Aouer is a much better player than Ndombele.
I guess nobody can help me. Don't see a 'super talent' with the ball.
Thanks though.
Most assists from open play in Ligue 1. He's great on the ball, very technical player with good vision.
Played this pass the other day in training:
I think it's clear as day he's not been identified as a target unless something is being done behind closed doors, he'll be a Spurs / Juventus / City player come August.
Very talented player, would love to see him in a United shirt. Him and Ruben Neves are the type of DMs i'd like to see much more then the classic destroyer like Declan Rice.
I'm sorry but I don't think we're at the level of being able to easily attract N'Dombele. Lyon have already qualified for the champions league spot, while have not. We are a club in the midst of chaotic rebuild process, and it is quite a risky move for players to move here.
That being said, would love it if we managed to get him.
@Get young talent He's not even the best CM at Lyon so not sure how can you call him the best of his "generation", Pogba is just 3 years older so he'd be part of that generation too
What a sense of humour you must have.haven't laughed like that in a long time
That's how he comes across on videos but as I say - that's all I've seen of him. I'm sure he's better/different given the price tag and fuss.
Even if you only take into account the youtube videos, Sissoko has never come close to display this level of skill on the ball. You need to get your eyes checked. They have very little in common
They look very similar. I'll take your word for it though bud.
They are absolutely nothing alike, the comparison is extremely surprising outside of nationality and ethnicity.
They play a similar position, both strong and dribble in a similar way. As I said Ive seen him on a 10 minute video for feck sake.
I'm sure N'dombele is much better on the ball as other have said.
They really really don't
I believe you
You may have put the video on but you weren't watching.
Yeah, that's how it looked.You may have put the video on but you weren't watching.
Thanks for the info though guys.
To be honest it's shocking that you think that they dribble the same way, Sissoko doesn't even dribble or quickly change direction, he makes straight runs and can barely pass the ball.
As far as I can see they dribble very similar. Sissoko doesn't dribble is a bizarre thing to say mind.
I can appreciate you have seen him much more and im wrong so thats that.
Who is the best CM talent there in your view?
Today there isn't much between Aouar and Ndombele, it's a very subjective topic.
More like mousa dembele former spurs player than sissoko.
Could definitely be coached to play as a 6 as well. I think he should be one of the additions in midfeild .

Anyone that thinks Spurs have a brighter future than us are on smoke.
No they are not.
No, it's a perfectly reasonable prediction based on the evidence of the last 6 years.
I do not agree,
Aouar has played with Ndombele as double pivot but he also has been shifted all over the midfield and the wing.
I have seen Ndombele as pivot without Aouar, but i have never seen Aouar as a pivot without Ndombele.
I'm not saying that Aouar his bad as a pivot, because he is excellent, but I believe that Ndombele allow Aouar to play well as a pivot thanks to his energy, just like Kante allow Pogba to play well for the french nt.
Not the over way around.
I also noticed that Deschamps has given the Kante spot to Ndombele when he was absent, not Aouar, that suggest he see the former as a better option.
I also noticed that Spurs, Real (Zidane and the fans) and PSG (Mbappe) all want him, not Aouar.
I mean, are they all wrong ?
JJ12, I'm sorry that you can't see from his video that he is super talent (nothing like Sissoko), but maybe you should trust Deschamps and Zidane in this case.
He is the real midfield deal of this window, he is better than De Jong and De Beek.

Who was talking about pivots?
@Get young talent It's literally the other way around. Aouar can play in a double pivot, as a CM in a 3 men midfield, on the wing and as a 10.
Ndombele never gets moved from his position because he can't play anywhere else.
@GlastonSpur In the world? No idea, It's a tough call, I don't think there's a single young midfielder who is far ahead and shoulders above the rest like Mbappe for attackers or De Ligt amongst defenders.

Bakayoko 2.0. We should stay clear.
Another player who is not similar to him at all.
He reminds me so much of Mousa Dembele (former Spurs midfielder). His unreal upper body strength, the way he shields the ball, etc...
The main difference imo is that Ndombele is a better passer and has better vision, while Dembele probably had a better dribble on him.
