Do you see him a role similar to Fred's role or further upfield?
Fred doesn't have a role, so I can't really answer. But Ndombélé is more or less like Mousa Dembélé a defensive box to box, he doesn't sit in front of the defense.
Cheers!
He wasn't worth 10m last year though, he only costed that amount because Lyon took him on loan with option to buy the previous season when he had barely played in Ligue 1.
Fred is a more attacking optio compared to ndombele. A great acquisition for spurs
Muppets do.
He really isn't. Spurs basically had a free run at him.
Yeah, I don't think he would or at least I don't think I would. As much as I want to look at the bright side, the sky is very clouded, I wouldn't have faith on the current team, I wouldn't trust the club to improve the team because they didn't do it after Pogba joined and the manager has done nothing interesting as a manager.
This summer was supposed to be exciting but so far it's been terrible
Like you, lack of CL never made me hopeful that this signing was possible.Ah yes, forgot about that. Still, it's quite a jump for 2 seasons. I'm happy for Amiens getting a big chunk of that profit though - good business by them
It's a normal jump for a young player, it would be a big jump if he moved to Lyon in his prime but it makes total sense that a young player with 5 games in a top league will cost a lot more after 2 seasons, 60 league games and a dozen of continental games where he played very well, on top of that he became a french international.
How do you know? Apparently United and Juve were in for him
True, I probably can't get over 60m being the new norm.
I wouldn't call it the new norm, so I totally get your point. There are players that are as good or close to that level and far cheaper. Some players have potential and are more like Ndombélé when he moved to Lyon, like Thiago Maia who appears to be Lyon's main target, I assume that if Lyon are after him, he isn't close to 60m.
How do we know what our transfer targets are? We’ve been linked with about 100 players in the past 2 weeks.
I have my sources close to the club
People specialized in these stories have said it and I just repeated it. United being interested in him means nothing if a player wants CL footballAulas said a few weeks ago there was interest from several big clubs in Europe, I doubt there was no other interest in a player with his potential. I am actually surprised that we apparently have got him.
Was reported in France firstSo the hysteria is based on a tweet from Sky?

Interest and offers are different things
Of course he'd say that, it could only contribute to an increase in fee. Aulas is very clever
Of course this is true, but its not like Ndombele isn't seen as a great propect, it seems the general feeling is "Oh Tottenham seem to have got him, hes really no that good"
.Not for me, I really wanted him at United because I think he can develop into a world class midfielder. Sometimes, circumstances are just perfect for certain clubs( Spurs here) to sign a promising player without huge competitionOf course this is true, but its not like Ndombele isn't seen as a great propect, it seems the general feeling is "Oh Tottenham seem to have got him, hes really no that good"
He said this before his moved to spurs was confirmed. I disagree however, I think he is a very good signing for ye.
Would be a great signing too. Probably also easier to complete (release clause) if he doesn't mind scrapping it out for top 4.
