Isn't that true for all CAMs though? I guess by nature its a position you will only excel in, if your midfield partners are winning their battles.

Moura was your last signing right? Thats like 18 months ago?
He's overworked. Isn't he one of the highest players in the premier league for distance covered? But he also barely gets rested. Eventually that'll catch up to him so no real surprise his form at times can be a little inconsistent.
Yeah, long time ago, hopefully more to come.
Yeah, thats my feeling too. Hopefully Fred steps up
Must feel strange.Wait what, it's confirmed?
Not official but practically.
That's great.
Yep looking close to done, Levy must be ill, it isnt 5mins to deadline. But really it was time to back Pochettino and actually stump up some cash or he would move on to a club that will.
He will have already worked out how much he is generating through the sale of Eriksen etc. This will be similar to when they spent the Bale money, making signings before they sell their assets.
For you lot yes...
This again?
We have money regardless of Eriksen's sale. You get a big chunk for reaching the CL final, we have Europe in the bag again for next season, and we've barely spent a penny for the last couple of windows.
We may well sell Eriksen but it has nothing to do with the Ndombele signing. If we sell him then we'll sign another player to replace him, right now from everything we're hearing there's still a chance neither real/barca are interested and he may stay at the club.
We don't need to sell assets to sign a player for 60m this window, at all.
Quite possibly, I still expect a decent amount of a net spend though. Levy has fleeced Aulas twice now.
I swear out of all places he could end up Tottenham was the last one I expected. This is a very big signing for them. I think depending on how fast he settles in he'll become vital for them.
This is an absolute coup for Tottenham.
As others have mentioned, I don't expect this signing to have anything to do with Eriksen.
£10M is an absolute bargain for him. He'll play for England I'm certain.
Mate, I do respect your opinion, however, you have some nerve coming on a United forum talking about average set pieces.
I mean, if Eriksen’s set pieces are average I’d give my left pinky for whatever comes a few spots lower than average on your scale.
I will be surprised if Spurs net spend this window exceeds 50mil.
Just watched some YouTube highlights and damn. He seems to have the same skill set as Dembele but better.
This is a top top quality signing from Tottenham. He'd walk into any midfield in the league maybe with city being the exception.
Fantastic signing this, I think like when Kante went to Chelsea we may live to regret not throwing out hat into the ring on this signing.
I don’t doubt that you are more we’ll versed in the financial situation at your club. But why aren’t you accounting for the near 750 mill you just spent on a new stadium? Is there some debt refinancing structure that takes of the burden or something? (Kind of how our debt doesn’t really affect our transfers too much)
Yep, for the price it seems unbelievable tbh. I have a feeling if we wanted him it would be 80m+
I have a feeling it will be more like Bakayoko going to Chelsea.
Are you mad he's 100x better than Bakayoko

Confirmation.
based on what? his Youtube compAre you mad he's 100x better than Bakayoko
On watching actual football matches? give it a try sometime.
Now that they have their Eriksen replacement, how about a cheaky bid for the Danish lad? They surely don't want him to run down his contract and end up at Juve for free?
Too early to say whether he is a top signing or a bit over rated.
Bakayoko never looked that good at Monaco, Fabinho was the clearly superior player. Bakayoko was an athlete and a decent cog in that Monaco team but never one of the standouts ever. Fabinho always looked more impressive.
Ndombele could easily flop (Keita looked incredible in Germany and struggled first season in the PL) but he's a significantly better footballer than Bakayoko.
Woohoo! Absolutely delighted to finally get this kid - I honestly think he is going to be a total star for us.
He is not an Eriksen replacement.
Great signing for Spurs. You just hope he's a Kante not a Mendy in Leicester
Boom.
He's a brilliant midfielder but not the game charger. Spurs were often destroyed on the counter-attack, can you imagine adding Ndombele who is more likely to get dispossessed because he is obsessed with keeping balls and try to dribble through midfield? Spurs may need to change their style of play with fullback coming deeper, not furthest to avoid getting overrun by counter-attack.
I'd love him in my team, feck spurs for getting him

He is a Dembele replacement.Ndombele is a similar player to Dembele with his runs and technical ability to get past a player or some burst of pace from defensive midfield space forward but I would say less energy,intensity in him than Dembele.
Also mostly plays in a 2 in a 4231 and limited in a tactical standpoint.
Good player but slightly overrated.
