Joel Tshisanga Ndala

[PynchonForest]

Good move, imho. Looks a talented youngster, and gives us an option late in certain games, to throw a fresh guy on who can dribble at the other team. And some injuries are bound to pop up, especially at this time of year when the weather is shit half the time. With Danilo and Sangare back, we didn't need Ward-Prowse, and this is a sensible change right now.

Did he actually sign? Can't see anything official confirmed anywhere.

He looks like he has bags of potential and is the sort of nippy youngster that would suit the way we play. I love seeing players in a Forest shirt running at defenders on the wings. What’s interesting from the highlights reel, is once he gets into an advanced position around the box he seems to make a quick decision on whether to have a strike at goal or pass the ball. No need to throw him into things for a while. Let the coaching team work with him for a while and I’m sure they’ll assess when he gets any sort of run out.

Talented young forward player, what’s not to like.

 

[GreeksBearingGifts]

Don't we need English academy trained prospects for our European squad if we manage it ? I'm guessing that we're seeing if he's good enough for that option.

No, you have plenty of those, you need graduates of your own academy. Currently you have only one playing for the first team.

There was a decent article in The Guardian about him;

England’s ‘bright spark’ Joel Ndala primed to follow in Foden’s footsteps

Manchester City tyro has gone from playground prodigy to youth star via Port Vale as a first-team opportunity may not be too far away

We got that Riviera kid last year, threat of relegation meant he didn't get many minutes.

Hopefully this time around, we won't die wondering.

He's listed as being similar to Doku, Viniscus Jnr and Neco Williams

Announced by the academy so safe to assume he's not really gonna feature in the first team.

Which is what I expected really. One for the future rather than now. Hopefully he impresses for the U23s.

Has our recruitment team got many things wrong recently? I’m sure that Nuno will have been kept n the loop. In Nuno we trust

Neco is the Welsh full back. You may have seen him play a couple of times

f*** me - can we at least wait until he's put on a pair of f***ing boots and stepped on the training pitch for the coaches to see him in the flesh before we, from the comfort of our keyboards, start theorising about whether he can kick a ball and if the manager will like him of not!!

Oh come on, you know full well that's not how we do things round here.

 

[Strummer]

Get up there, Joel!

What's the point of taking a player on loan for 6 months if he's not going to play and you just put him in the academy?

In my opinion you need to see how he copes at a competitive level, then judge from there if its worth making a permanent signing or not.

Think of it as an extended trial.

We're seeing what he can offer, and whether it's worth investing in the hope that he comes good in a few years.

It also meant Gardner could go out on loan.

I’m sure if he impresses in the academy he’ll get a run out at some point.
