He is great.

Ndombele today is the best midfielder in france, and it wont be long before he is a mainstay in the french NT.

He is quite amazing to watch really. He can dribble as well as anyone in midfield, has a great eye for pass, and he is a great ball winner. Superior athlete as well to most lads you will see in midfield. Maybe his only weakness is shooting, but it's a rare to find a player who is such an willing defender and attacker, while having so many other skills. I would call him the most complete midfield prospect out there atm, if not for the shooting

He rekt City, then went on to rekt Marseille and then rekt Dijon midweek.

Positionally he is comfortable in a double pivot or 3 man midfield, so that covers most tactical schemes of today.

Lyon are gonna make a lot of money selling him next summer, around 60 millions i think, if not more.

If he can add goalscoring to his game, he'd be the perfect midfielder.

He also seems to have fixed the stamina issues that plagued him last year.

Arsenal bound

He's going to get called up with Tolisso injured for sure. You'll see him on NT starting this time around.

Rabiot is going to get called up sometime next year too.

Pretty great group here with Pogba, Kante, Nbombele, Nzonzi and Rabiot. DD will play Matuidi no matter what though lol.

Not sure Rabiot deserves that spot. Better talents to call up.

Rabiot is really really good if he gets his head right.

I want Ben Yedder and Laca up too... but they won't get the call. Ben Yedder has always been a favorite of mine and is killing it with Sevilla this season. Both are better options than Fekir and Thauvin imo.

Why bother with Rabiot? his toxic attitude isn't needed in the locker room.

True. He's a talent though. And he has a different profile from the other guys. Not worth the risk. We have plenty of talent.

Back on topic...  Ndombele is the first french player that has come along that truly reminds me of Vieira. Pogba is too attacking to be like Vieira.

Adil may surpass him for both PSG and a shot at France anyways.

Admit you had no idea who he was before the summer

He's talented. Very talented. Been pleasantly surprised with Guendouzi too.

I didn't till we got linked with him. Looks like a superior talent tbh

Rabiot has also been very poor for PSG so far this year, he thinks so slow for a midfielder and holds the ball too much.

Matuidi improved 10 times compared to last season. The WC did him a world of good. If he was called after the poor season he had with us I guess he won't get dropped now that he is playing great.

He's actually playing at 2009-2014 levels. Wasn't expecting this comeback from him at all.

Nah he was the best player for PSG until the Liverpool game.  He makes that team work.  Started extremely well.  That CL game was a complete disappointment however.

That's why his return is a big topic of conversation in the french media... he's really been playing well. Otherwise, it would be a non-discussion.

Signing him for Arsenal would be a dream come true. Might even happen considering most top teams are settled with first team midfielders... except for PSG. Hopefully Aulas is enough of a dick to stop that from happening.

monster of a box to box

What happened to this guy? Seems to be suffering at Napoli already? Syill vividly remember like all posters here rating him n saying he would be great in the EPL etc?

And Spurs agreed to terminate this record signing? Spent last few yrs on loan at various places and hes still just 27? Must be one of the biggest flops ever?
