is n'dong being judged more harshly than the rest

[Father Jack Hackett]

If a player cost's £13 million i'd be expecting him to do far than he's currently doing, it's easy make excuses but at the end of the day it's not like we signed a chap from League 1 for £500,000.

N'Dong would of course benefit with better players around him, but with his price tag he should be in essence the one making things happen.

This. Nacer Chadli cost less and is the one winning points for West Brom. He's exactly what we were missing which or course, we didn't get.

N'Dong is a link up player...similar to what Kanté does or did for Leicester City last year, picking up the ball and moving it on and being available to have it back and move it on again..whether he can score goals or put the tackle in which I dont think he is that type of player

I thought on saturday it may have been down to him being carded, he seemed to just shield the player when tracking back. Maybe that is just his game?

 

[Chop Sauce]

Even if he becomes a success story in his own right, does anyone think for one second with our track record that we will recoup the transfer fee paid for him?

I don't.

He's probably worth 7.5m today.

 

[dangermows]

Yes, as usefully. A price means nothing much. For examole: City will pay over the odds for a player cos they can. Another team will hold out for more cos they know City can afford it. Therefore the players price tag is above his actual real value.

Im more concerned moyes thought pienaar had a good game

Seems he felt the same as half those posting throughout the match thread

Difficult to believe a player of his experience is unable to complete more than 20% of passes. Must have been at the ketchup.

Chadli would of been an excellent signing

Short wouldn't cough up, and the player wouldn't want to come anyway.

 

[hughbert]

Sad times when the possible signing of a norwich reserve on loan (naismith) is a step up.

Probably not but we needed proven premier league quality not taking a punt on players like McNair or N'Dong

That's not saying much though. He's miles off his game.

[gipetto]

What I think:

- Has potential;
- Decent on the ball;
- Only 22;
- Very early days;
- Not what we needed but will improve and could be a very good player for us;
- You can get his name on the back of your shirt for free.

 

[Lord of the Dance]

because he is the club's record signing?? haway the lad cant help having the price tag on his heed give him a break

Yes

 

[castoff]

I think its more to do with the fact he's not M'vila rather than the price tag. If we'd bought M'vila too I think the lad would be getting cut way more slack. This season's £13m is basically last season's £6m.

And he'd look twice the player he does now playing along side him.

The poor bugger would probably look better in a midfield of 1 atm.

 

[RedFlag1308]

Fuck me, N'Dong is only 7 months older than Donald Love.

He's no Rodwell, but doubt he'll be at SAFC more than 18mths.

 

[Monument View]

Naa he's just a very average footballer with a daft haircut ,nearly as daft as Jamie Lawrence.
He's just overpriced by £10m.
