Writing was on the wall for Ndala sadly, like Akintola who may be out the door next, he contributed when called upon never had face on when out the team and has played his part in getting us to where we are, fingers crossed he gets another loan and a lot of mins between now and the end of the season
They’ve both done it loads. Man City did it to Rodwell and Bony as well. Drinkwater to Chelsea is another good example. Sometimes I wonder if they sign these players just so other teams can’t.
The players have to take equal responsibility for it though. Phillips knew he would never be more than a backup to Rodri and he couldn’t even be that.
I hope Anderson doesn’t go to Man City for England’s sake.

So now Ndala is on his way, would leaving out Cartwright mean we are ok for the 25 man squad and can keep Matazo and Belloumi in?
Good luck, best wishes and thank you

Tbh given our circumstances yet again happy with our business, get Akintola a move and it's all good to go. Think what we have brought in compliments what we have and more significantly we haven't lost any important players from our squad.
Great news, seems a huge asset on & off the pitch. Promotion experience too……
Can’t remember Stanley Matthews being referred to as a centre midfield player.
Agree. But I think, given our record with injuries, we should be keeping one of Ndala or Dave though.
Ndala has been a disappointment imo. Then again, we shouldn't have expected much at 19 and with it being his 1st proper loan. But, with him coming from Man City I maybe hoped for more. I guess the signs were there though in that both PSV and Forest didn't take up their options to buy. He mostly only got bit parts here, but for me he hardly grasped his chances, which if he had of done, then he'd have got way more game time as the opportunities to shine were there. Earlier comparisons to Doku were fanciful. I didn't see anything special from him (in terms of pace or skill). Imo, we might as well have shown faith in Brown (or Myers or even kept Vaughan as cover); they'd likely have been just as much use, if not more. Maybe he will still come good, but I fully expect Man City will continue to try to move him on as soon as they can. I think he'll struggle to get even a good permanent Championship move.
I do, he’s a good young player who has been treated unfairly here. Him having to leave is no fault of his own and another example of yet more dreadful management and recruitment. Exactly the type of gung ho sign everyone approach that almost bankrupted us last summer and is almost certainly going to next if we don’t manage to see this through and get promotion.
Scary times ahead.
No.7's traditionally been right wing, but there's been a fair few attacking midfielders who also been 7's, Best, Cantona, Raul, Keegan, Dalglish etc.
Best? George Best?
He was a winger, who just happened to be capable of occasionally playing as a striker or an attacking midfielder, but best known across the world as a winger.
Taken direct from Twitter and fact checked on GBNews, so there.
"George Best primarily played as a winger (left or right), famous for his dazzling skill, pace, and goalscoring ability, but he could also operate as a centre-forward, second striker, or attacking midfielder, making him a versatile forward who was almost unstoppable at his peak for Manchester United and Northern Ireland"
p.s. my point was that he was known across the world as a WINGER, not an 'attacking midfielder' as was being suggested by Lambo
