    He had zero ability to find a pass yesterday, I don’t think he was actually trying to be *.

    It’s about being on your game and trying the hardest you can to be professional, in training and in a match..

    He has the natural aptitude for the game, his attitude to make it with us is lacking.

    Effort, ability, technique, aptitude, inconsistent, *.

    He definitely promotes discussion / debate, & there are numerous times through this thread that those words above or a mixture are used . Quite damning for him & us as an arguably first choice pick when he’s fit.

    Even before he came, there were people here questioning his attitude, and why such a promising guy at the Man City squad was costing 3 million, which is peanuts in todays game. I wondered why Genoa didnt make an effort to retain him. During all his time here he used to be inconsistent, now he is consistently bad. With all of that, I really wish there was a team daft enough to sink 10 million on him but every decent scouting department knows a guy who turns up a handful of times per year isnt worth that. If we get any offers it will be much less than that

    We would be lucky to recoup the money we paid for him if his form continues. Young Hendo should be a head of him in the pecking order for the rest of the season.

    We'd deffo get our money back. In fact we'd probably get double our money back....about 8 mill, even with his patchy at best form..

    Selling wise though we should be getting at least double that for how talented and capable he is. Add in the fact he's a French under 21, came through Man City's academy etc and anything under 10 would actually be poor business. Although I know loads feel like that wouldn't be the case at present..

    I've been out defending him earlier as he came back from a serious injury a little over a month ago, but his inability to pick out easy 10 yard passes yesterday was worrying. We cannot afford having first team players on high wages disrupting the attacking flow * away possession unpressured like he did the first half, and no * will be willing to hark up £8m for a player when you can get the same quality for less than half the price elsewhere.

    Aye i defended him at 1 point yesterday but he was abysmal..

    Kept putting it out of play and giving it away with no care in possession..

    He was tapped up before and that's why we got him on a more lucrative contract....and I have a feeling he knows where he's going or has mentally checked out already..

    Cant stand the guy.

    He clearly has a huge attitude problem and got deliberately sent off at st mirren cos he couldnt be arsed and like many others only puts a shift in in the big games.

    It's such a pity tae, the guy has got great ability, but just looks like he wants to be elsewhere.

    We badly need a squad clear-out of guys that are contributing heavily to our high wage bill but absolutely nothing to our performances on the park.

    Ntcham should be one of the top of that list.

    His head has been down since big Dembele left. As you say a great talent and just needed to polish up his shooting technique but now he needs injected with adrenaline. Too many games passing him by.

    There is a player there but for me it seems his attitude has massively changed since Moussa left.

    Not been the same player and like some others have said he got his new deals and has done pretty much * all since.

    In an ideal world someone would offer us 10 million in the summer I would take the money and run. If we got offered anything over 5/6 million I would happily take that.
