    The amount of times he had nowhere to go and made space to play a pass was incredible. What a * signing.

    Agree! He has a great knack of turning defence into attack!

    So, he's like a kind of Highlander, but not?

    If Patrick Roberts got Victor Wanyama pregnant... Ntcham would pop oot 9 months later.

    Best player on the park by far. Great touch and vision, and it seems impossible to muscle him off the ball. Great prospect.

    What's amazes me about Ntcham and the Man City business model is that Ntcham was one of the most highly rated players in Europe in 2015, when City beat Arsenal to sign him on a 5 year contract. That was only 2 years ago when Ntcham was 19. City then loan him out to Genoa for 2 seasons where he plays 40 games in Serie A. He may not have set the world alight in Serie A, but he still was a fairly consistent performer playing a high level in a top European league. Now at 21, City sell Ntcham to Celtic for £4.5m, well below the fees flying around in England at the moment.

    So what is there to suggest that Ntcham's level has declined since City deemed him one of the best talents in Europe? 40 games in Serie A can only have been good for him. We've genuinely might have picked up one of the best talents in Europe for relative pennies.

    The ridiculous amount of money in the English game combined with the way City and Chelsea stockpile hot prospects is such an advantage to us right now. Ridiculous that we can pick up talents like Ntcham and Dembele for a fraction of what West Brom and Crystal Palace are paying for duds.

    Strolled it.

    Said from day one he has that way about him, you just know he is going to be a star.

    If it's not his half turns giving him acres of space he is holding off three players and fashioning space for himself.

    I don't think I can remember a player looking so comfortable on that sort of stage this quickly.

    Obviously the groups are the acid test but I reckon' he will be our go to man.
