It’s always a grind but Levy and Aulas have done deals together plenty of times before.
Where are those players that wanted out from Tottenham now? Are they still at Spurs? No, they are at RM.
He very obviously had big input into transfers. Don't think anyone will find a quote suggesting otherwise. I think his issue came when somewhere in the club it was decided that we couldn't sign a cb better than the ones we had ie that Maguire isn't better than Jones and that we would wait for a varane or koulibaly
Isn't he a bit lazy defensively?
Did you bother to read my post?
Covers a lot of ground, he is extremely mobile. I am not saying he would be the CDM, but in a central midfield of 3, he would be perfect for us.
They want 72M and Levy started with 40M on table.
I think his only downfall, as far as I can see, is his lack of goals, and assuming Pogba even stays, we definitely need more creativity and goal threat from Midfield.
We need to be direct and ruthless this summer, but I cant see it happening.
based on what?
Who has said he is like Kante? I’d agree on the ball and technique wise NDombele is much better player but in terms of the effort put in to ball winning then they are nothing alike. If anything it’s the one thing I’d say is an issue with Ndombele. He seems a bit casual or lacks the intensity. He just seems to pick and choose when he can be bothered to go full whack. This isn’t to say he isn’t decent at getting a ball back when he can be bothered but it’s nothing like Kante going to win a ball back.
Just google "Kante, Ndombele" I do see comparisons between the 2 obviously its down to Ndombele to prove he is at the level. Like you say the biggest problem I see is consistently putting in performances that change a match.
It's very probably too late for that, regardless of what Aulas says publicly as part of his ongoing PR campaigns.
Sounds like the same problem Pogba has
With Aulas, until the contracts are signed, it's not too late...
Willian was on route to Spurs for a medical (from memory?), then Chelsea jumped in.
Yes, but that was a Russian gangster intervention - Willian was 'told' that he'd now be signing for Chelsea. The sort of offer he couldn't refuse.
Didn't he have his medical at spurs before Chelsea hijacked the deal.
Is this true or are you making up stories?
Which happens like 80% of the time. Obertan was dubbed the next Ronaldo and there were at least 20 the next Messi's ranging from young footballers playing in small leagues to kids that look like They still wet the bed at night.
I don't know who dubbed Obertan but he wasn't rated in France, Blanc couldn't believe that United purchased him.
Well, Willian was under contract to a Russian club at the time. The story goes that the owner of Spartak Moscow, a Russian oligarch who knew Abrahimovic personally, stepped in to let Willian know who he'd be signing for next and that it wouldn't be Spurs.Is this true or are you making up stories?
Youtube scouts. To be fair He did a lot of step overs.
Or in short, Chelsea wanted him and he knew he will get bigger salary, better chance of winning trophies and signed for them.
Yes. But substitute 'a Russian gangster' for 'Chelsea' and you'll likely have a more accurate version of events.
I don't think a Russian gangster was what made him chose Chelsea. Chelsea were a better team with a better project than spurs at the time as well as offering him more money.
Pretty much.
Yeah but that doesn't mean it's the case with this fellow. Although going by our resident french football expert, he does seem to be a streaky player.
Not sure if it’s him or the entire team as they all seem to be inconsistent. Personally I think it’s the managers fault and I don’t rate him one bit.
How do you know you can still snatch it? You have no idea whether Ndombele has any interest in joining you.
Bloody hell, man.
I just can't see it. We do not appear to have shown even a flicker of interest and there has not been a credible story about us even looking at him let alone making a bid. For whatever reason I think that regardless of whether he joins spurs he is just not on our shortlist.
Hate to piss all over your lovely made up story, but he was at Shaktar and they are Ukrainian.
