There will be interest in him of course but nothing concrete at the moment.“Does it suit us if he stays? Yeah, it’s something we would want. He’s a very, very good player.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never really stood out thst I've noticed. 14m seems like a very good price- no doubt Porto can sell him to a middling EPL team for 5m more though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another example of how mad the money in football can be imo. When it comes to actually influencing football matches Ryan Christie is more effective than Ntcham. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 At his best, Ntcham is probably the best midfielder in the league, but it doesn't seem like he's been at his best since the first OF game of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do as physically and techincally he was no weaknesses. He does lack consistency and heart at times however. If the offer is true though (cash plus player) I would be happy enough with it as midfield where we have the most cover and come Summer we will be down to 3 recognised centre backs most likely, one who seems to be made of paper (Simunovic) and one who is pretty dog shit (Hendry). Another champions league qualification f**k up because of lack of centre backs awaits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly this. Think he will go on to be a very good player. But he hasn’t been the same player since dembele left. Has looked unintrested for the most part of this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is between those two for the best all rounders for me. Mcgregor shades it at the moment with his attitude and consistency but Ntcham is 3 years younger so will be interesting where Ntcham is at when 25, most likely wont be Celtic though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 McGregor is 10x better than Ntcham. I'd drive Ntcham to the airport for a £1m offer tbh he's utter pish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
