Olivier Ntcham

Le croquet en derriere

 

Think usually if you say it really slowly and loud Johnny foreigner understands

 

Some achievement being too lazy for the French.

 

I can't think of anything as poetic, but 'donner/mettre un coup de pied aux fesses' ('to give [someone] a kick up the *') works.

 

Qui, that would do nicely

 

Last year of his deal. Watch how he miraculously finds form Nov to Jan.

 

Heard a story that Lennon went off on one at him the time Edouard never came back because of the Covid and Kennefy had to step in to stop it. Lennon was seemingly made to apologise in front of everyone but as he was leaving mouthed of that Ntcham wouldn't play fir him again

 

Not much of an apology then.

Not that Ntcham had played for him up until then.

 

He wears the white and green

The best we've ever seen

 

Ahh yes, the abrasive, little Britain, why don’t these foreigners speak English in their home country approach lol.

 

Hes been pish since Rodgers last season when Dembele left.

 

He was * excellent in the 352 last year. Unfortunately like most things with him it was short lived.

 

Aye he had a few games here and there but its a problem that started well before Lennon took over.

In hindsight I wish we sold him and Boyata with Dembele that summer and spunked it on a few Eboues and Bayos to add to the collection.

 

I raise you a shved and commper to that dream

 

I can't get on board with "still a player there"

He hasn't kicked a ball for us in two year cause he wanted to leave. Never played for a move or showed anything to suggest he was suitable to play at a higher level. He got his wish in January, got a move to a fairly big club with an option to buy, and has been so * * he's been hooked at half time 3 times already. He's 25, can't get consistent football, and will be behind Turnbull, Soro, and probably Connell next season.

Compare that to Ajer who has been consistently our best player and has played his way to a big move this summer. If any team is silly enough to come in with an offer, no matter how little, we should take it.

Next season is going to be a rough one and we can't afford to carry passengers like him on the wage bill.

Everything I said in my last sentence can apply to a few others in our squad as well, the likes of Bitton and Rogic

 

Is he mismanaged at Marseille? Was he mismanaged for the bulk of his time under Rodgers?

 

As much as Lennon had to go. As much as he has to shoulder a large portion of blame in all of this. I cannot help but feel when Lennon come out with that "mitigating circumstances" it would have been with the likes of ntcham in mind. Ntcham should have been ready and capable to play a major role in our midfield this season and he simply wasnt.

 

Thinking about this joker earlier on. It's only very recently that most people have given up on him, personally I can't fathom why it's took them so long. Been clear as day for a long time his attitude is a disgrace and I really hope there are none who still feel the need to stick up for him.

To quote the great Malcolm Tucker....* waste of skin.
