Rumours yesterday (spurious, ignore) that he’s rejected several contract offers.

Expecting him off this summer personally. Wouldn’t blame him. If I was him, Jake, Barry, Dibbling, patto, George, I am saying to my agent what else is going?

He's only on something like £40k per week so his agent absolutely should be touting him if we're not offering good enough terms

He's not looked too happy being pushed to the right with a centre half behind him.

I reckon he’d be dynamite as a rwb with a solid 3 atb in a 3421 if Branthwaite got fit, JOB, and if we bought in Estève or someone.

He would have more momentum running from deep, he’s great at tracking back, and he’d have the intelligence and guile to invert when needed.

Then we can contiue our enjoyment of seeing him have to beat three men on his own just to get to the half way line

He is one of the most talented players we have had for a long time.

Wasted in a David Moyes side.

Hence he never reaches the levels he probably could reach under a more progressive manager and surrounded by better players.

No doubt he’s talented but he’s been way off form and I’m not sure he can blame anyone but himself for the half dozen or so shooting chances he fluffed when through on goal in the last few games

He’s expected to do an awful lot, with no support around him or any patterns of play. He should go if Moyes stays

Not helped by the players around him but mainly hes a bit of a circus act. Amazing dribbling followed by the wrong decision

Genuinely forgot he was even playing second half.

Quite telling though that the one time I saw him on the ball he had 2 on him, and Garner who was RB at the time neither overlapped nor underlapped.

Total thankless task for Ndaiye, not sure what he's supposed to do.

Teams just mark him out the game. He’s our only creative attacking outlet so he gets easily nullified. Was far more effective when Grealish was fit

Grealish works like a distraction technique even when he doesn't have the ball. No coincidence Ndiaye has struggled since and to a lesser extent, Dewsbury Hall

Spot on. The fear factor alone creates space for others

I love him but I think he’ll be off this summer and it won’t massively change our results
