    I dont understand the attitude of players like him and Ntcham. If you want a move: play well and you will get one. If you just give up and become unproffessional wastes of jerseys, then you wont get the move you want.

    Ntcham gave up years ago after missing a move to Porto. Plays * for two years then get offerred a move to... AEK Athens. Who even they dont want him as they have to pay a transfer fee.

    This entitled attitude of 'I'm too good to be here so therefore I will play * and get a move to a better club' is just * stupid and counter productive.

    He's always been pretty nonchalant in his playing style, so I'm not convinced it's a deliberate lack of effort. The drop-off in his play is massively disappointing though. He isn't getting particularly good service but even considering that he's a shadow of who he was pre-pandemic.

    Fair to say I think the sooner he goes now the better for both parties. No idea who we'd get to replace him but it has to be an out and out striker. No loan deal, no project / development player.

    It's called a lack of professionalism. Someone in the Controversial opinions thread was attacked because he said we should not sign Frenchmen, after the behavior of Edouard and Ntcham. I sort of agree with the sentiment. We should be more cautious. Okay, Dembele wasn't horrible to us, and neither is Jullien.

    Very talented guy who hasn’t been at the races in some time. Hat trick start of last season I honestly thought he was going to be on 20 by January, getting the move he deserved and with my best wishes.

    Has gone backwards since, and currently a passenger.

    Will move to a better league and perform annoyingly well.

    Definition of a mercurial talent.

    Also not a centre forward, especially up front solo. Never has been, never will be.

    He needs benchtime to learn some humility and find his spark again , otherwise he will end up going to a low level club .

    A rich man's Samaras, with all the mood/form swings, but without the respect for the club. Okay, he has free kicks.

    It wasn’t long ago that he was being touted as the best since the king. An absolute insult to Larsson.

    I genuinely can’t believe what we are getting from him at the moment when we all know the talent he possesses. He’s an absolute disgrace at present.

    People have still been saying that right up to the last couple of days. It's an insult to some of our other strikers since Larsson as well.

    People always bringing up attitude etc, he’s always been the same on the pitch since he came here, laid back and wont run himself into the ground for the team.

    Instead we always knew he’d come up with goals or a moment of class when needed, but now with his confidence basically zero he just looks a shadow of himself.

    Ange obviously likes what he sees in training and trying to play him through it, trouble is how long can you actually give him?

    I wouldn’t give him any more time if I could. I’d rather sell him and bring in a striker who actually wants to be here.

    I think some French people have got a certain attitude and mannerisms which can tend to make them look like they don't give a * sometimes, especially if they don't get their own way.

    Waste of a jersey. He's a big part of the problem right now. Baffling that he keeps starting when its clear he wont lift a leg to try. He has absolutely no interest for fear of injury etc and i bet his agent has told him as much. He plays the game like its a warm up for him. Any time he gets the ball, a bit of lazy footwork, lose the ball, then jog back. Mind when we used to have a song for him. That feels like lifetime ago now.

    He needs to be sold and a new striker to replace him brought in this window and the sooner the better.
