Iliman Ndiaye

A enjoyable player but his finishing is woeful.

I take it that because he couldn't hit a barn door from 5 feet out that's another couple million off the asking price

Players like him and Rashford are kind of the quintessential examples of the polar opposites of wide attackers. Ndiaye, the super press resistant, easy on the eye winger vs Rashford who gets derided for in his game play (at times for good reason!) but only one of them will routinely end seasons with 20+ G/A. You kind of just can’t teach that stuff.

I think this is fair but also I think last night was interesting in how players are perceived and judged too. Ndiaye creates one of those chances by himself and the finishing was poor but it happens sometimes. Doku was being glazed repeatedly for how amazing he is as a winger yet he has the same output as Ndiaye this season in the league despite playing for a far better attacking team.

He's also unlucky in that he will get one or two of those chances a game if he's lucky due to the way we play so if he misses it then it's knives out. Other players in other teams will get three or four good chances a game.

When was Doku glazed? This game where he scored 2 goals and saved a point? Yeah of course hes being glazed now. I doubt he was being glazed in Jan

To be fair it was on target against arguably the best one v one keeper in the world
 
Reminds me of someone like Bolaise, who could do incredible things with the ball at his feet, but had a woeful output.
 
Honestly, I liked what I saw. Obviously his finishing his not the best but when you compare him to other LW options out there, he’s a much safer option

He's a bit more functional that Bolaise. Works way harder too.

He's a better player, the comparison wasn't like-for-like, it's more that both are brilliant with the ball at their feet, but lack that end product.

He had two pea rollers that went straight at Donnarumma. I couldn't believe how effusive the commentator was in his praise for Donnarumma for the first one, he didn't even have to move.

Yeah, fair enough. I guess in the modern prem era with the defensive demands on forwards, it's as close as you'll get.
 
26, so I doubt we will see his ceiling raised. He would cost easily 60-70. Hard pass. His finishing and end product is really woeful. We shouldn't even entertain the idea of signing him.
