    Ntcham would only get £10m, Eddy will be around £30m. Also if we don't sell Eddy his value will drop within the year due to his contract exiting in 2022

    We should at least attempt to offer him a nice new 4 year contract better terms mainly bonuses which includes a 25m release clause, hel not be here for that duration but its increasing his salary and status and helping the club get a high fee.
    The boy is class but needs to be more of a battler which is something he'll leave us having learned along with the winning mentality he already has loads in his locker
    Hope the French link continues as its working well for both the player and us monetary wise

    Really good player.

    Frustrating aye, but I'd rather have him here. I think in the bigger games he more often than not shows his class.

    Ntcham is a quality player but he doesn’t suit the Scottish game where you get no time on the ball and some * trying to kick lumps out of you . I think he would be a big hit in England where he would get more time on the ball to deliver the killer pass .

    The thing about Ntcham is he needs a run of games to find his consistency and raise his game, he’s improved each game he’s played this year. No doubt is a technically brilliant player but Christie is just as creative, scores & creates more plus works a lot harder.

    I’d be good with selling Ntcham and giving Christie a bumper deal.

    He's a good player and better than he shows a lot of the time but still don't think he deserves a place in our midfield just now when everyone is fit . Really slows the play down

    They say West Ham contacted the players agent to see if,Ntcham would be interested in going to them this sounds like the modern day equivalent of tapping up a player

    Thought he was really coming into the game in the 10min before he went off.

    Also, word of Southampton interested, may be some hope for doing a deal for getting FF and Ely in permanently.
    I understand about wages, but would Nicham for both be a good deal for us?

    After his ill judged comments last summer, and some of his performances last season, I would have been fine with him leaving before the beginning of the season, stating that if he didn’t want to be here then we shouldn’t keep him. Whatever has changed since then, I’m delighted, as his ability is obvious and a huge benefit.

    The manager.

    Think he had a major problem with BR due to the Dembele situation.

    N'tcham, Christie and Rogic. It's a healthy conundrum. I rate all 3 highly. Horses for courses.

    Thought he was playing really well before he got hauled off yesterday. I was miffed at the time with the decision and thought it should've been Forrest first but the decision was vindicated by us kicking on to win and Forrest grabbing his late goal.

    But back on topic, Ntcham was taking responsibility, looking for the ball, trying to make things happen. I'm probably overly-critical of him some times on here but that's only because I can see how good a player he could be, if he applied himself like that all the time. He could literally play anywhere he wants if he grafted like that, as he's got it all.

    Terrific tonight. Best pass of the match in the 2nd half! I could have scored his chance though!

    Great to watch on that form.

    Yeah that was a terrible effort.

    Seen him score a few from that position as well so was expecting him to bang that in.

    It’s usually from outside the box that he hits the lads in row Z.

    Thought he played well and some of his long range passes were class.

    Not sure he’s done enough to keep Christie out of the first XI for too long though.
