    I just hope he isn't playing like this for a move, if we have him playing like this he is genuinely unplayable.

    In this form he can challenge both of them for a place IMO. Whether its CM or CAM.

    He creates plenty chances. I can think of 5 from yesterday's game alone.

    I was pleased with his performance today, especially in the second half. Looks like Lennon said all the right things after Ntcham's summer strop.

    Never saw the game yesterday but the gist seems to be he's a different player now further forward creating rather than holding back and destroying. Couple that with his attitide change after a chat with Lenny.

    Can he make room for him on Wednesday as it sounds he's bang on it just now??

    Some of his passing yesterday was phenomenal. Could've had an assist if Boli put it away and had Morgan played it to the backpost he would've assisted the assister.

    At home against lower league opposition, there's no reason he can't play in a midfield 3 with McGregor/Henderson & Christie/Rogic.

    When is Kouassi back ? Would be interested to see if Kerr McInroy is anywhere near ready to step up as well but I presume he's still injured ?

    Been outstanding so far.
    He will be wanting away still though IMO, playing out his skin to attract a possible transfer. But we can reep the benifits of it just now, after all its a bonus he still here, thought he was destined to be away by now...

    If his form continues and he is playing like this going into the huns game then he plays for me.

    Not for me. He is too soft and needs time on the ball. Late sub maybe when the game slows a bit.

    On his day, he's the controller of games. Get him, Brown, Christie, Forrest all firing and aint no team in Scotland can handle it.

    Thats not taking into account the importance of McGregor either. Should Lennon get them all firing then our midfield is on a different planet to the rest. Huns can hack, chop, punch all they want but that midfield on form (which Lennon should get them to) are untouchable.

    Imagine we punted him to Porto and then seen this run of form out of nowhere, * knows what will happen with him between now and the windows end but enjoying it while it lasts.

    A fully fit Rogic > Ntcham, but the thibg is Rogic has not been fully fit for over a year and Rogic's form last year was so poor many of us was more than. open to selling him this summer. Personally I prefer Ntcham as an. overall package he brings more to the team than Rogic. But the position is currently Christie's to lose

    Glad he's decided to show it on the park now instead of just talk it in the rags..

    some of his football was fantastic on saturday, hes such a terrific footballer when hes at it

    maybe its ryan christies form thats giving ntcham a wake up call, he replaced christie after his stellar hatrick last week and immediately scored with his first touch got the shout on saturday with christie being rested and shone as bright as he ever has in a celtic jersey

    last season was ridiculous from him, he seemed to be in the huff

    dembele boyata and ntcham were they close ?
