Ah...thought you were talking about Brozovic....as you were

I'm more hopeful of the second part of the story that Tottenham and Inter will do swaps
Read this morning Inter were interested in Sissoko
Sissoko for Brozovic would be a great deal for us, One can only hope.
Good morning how are you?Is anyone actually surprised with this hasbeen washed up manager? Like, everyone knew what we was getting into, the second we appointed Mourinho. A poisonous presence in the dressing room. Same guy who nearly destroyed Hazard's career at Chelsea. Same guy who tried to destroy Ronaldo and Ramos at RM. Same guy who wanted to swap Martial for Willian. Same guy who tried destroying Pogba at United. The list is endless, and yet people are somehow surprised with the treatment Tanguy has been getting. A lot would say when things went south this season, Pochettino wasn't the answer; that may very well be true, but fuck Mourinho certainly ain't no fucking answer. I'd rather have Roberto Martinez or Rafa Benitez than this washed-up excuse of a manager.
Probably should stick to your baseball then, Jesus Christ.
But these swap deals rarely makes any sense. I can't remember one in the last years.
There are at least 50+ midfielders in PL that would be an improvement in our midfield.I'd compare him more to a 27 yo Matic than Jorginho, which was a pretty decent animal, and suited Mourinho down to the ground. Brozavic is much better without the ball than Jorginho,
And lets not forget, Jorginho would be an upgrade on we've been watching, and his Chelsea finished above us and won the Europa. As would Rodri.
Brozovic's market value is probably 30-40m. Ndombele is not worth 60-80m.There are at least 50+ midfielders in PL that would be an improvement in our midfield.
My initial point was Ndombele has much higher market value than Brozovic, almost twice as much. The batter trade between the 2 would be nothing short of a rip off.

Brozovic's market value is probably 30-40m. Ndombele is not worth 60-80m.
There is a 5-10m difference in value tops. Stop overvaluing our players. If Levy was offered 45m for Ndombele he'd take it in a heartbeat.
I know many of you are unable to accept this reality but Ndombele has flopped hard. His season was beyond shocking in every way (off/on pitch, integration and ability to adjust to England). Sell asap and cut our losses.
The best thing will be when he goes the insane Ndombele defence brigade will stop posting absolutely lunatic things to defend him on here. I will be so happy. So so happy.
Just a guide for comparison:
Tanguy Ndombélé - Player profile 19/20 - 40m (Brutal!)
Marcelo Brozovic - Player profile 19/20 - 43m

I am sick of him. He can't kick a fucking ball without falling on his arse. 7 years of it now. God is punishing us.I hope not - aside from his injury record which means hes rarely fit when we need him to cover for other players, fact is that he is 28 as is Moura and Son.
So we need to move one of them on soon to prevent us having to find 3 AM's at the same time - so Lamela's name should be top of that list to move on so as to give the incoming player time to find his feet.
Lamela is currently at best a bench option and has never fulfilled our hopes for him and after 7 seasons never will. Time to let him go back to Italian league (if they have the money) and let a new generation such as Eze take over.
With Davinson’s agent recently making noises, I wonder if we’ll see big changes at the back this summer. Got instantly dropped after the Sheffield United game and then straight back out once Diers suspension was over I believe.
Also think Jose targeted Dav in the Europa League final vs Ajax when at Man U as a weak link.
Broadsheet newspapers are reporting it. I think there is far too much smoke for this to be rubbish, unfortunately.I have so many issues with this hear me out :
1) Antonio Conte plays a formation which requires very hard working CM'S unless he is going to play Eriksen's role a little further forward , Ndombele will not do better in a central midfield for Conte than Barella, Sensi, Vecino or Brozovic. Surely Conte's seen him play. So for me I don't see how Conte would actually want him.
2) The price being touted for him is £45m , isn't that only £5m more than Man city played for Ake . Ndombele on a long term contract being young and one of the hottest prospects and Nathan Ake a relegated player is valued at only £5m less. Bizarre.
3)Would Skriniar come to Tottenham? If not Skriniar who else could they trade , I highly doubt Levy will sanction trading a 23yr old for a 27yr old and 31 yr old (Brozovic and Perisic). Makes no sense at all
Regardless all there is interest and the way you see people speaking on twitter you'd think he'd already signed. I'm waiting to see other journalists takes before making my mind up but something doesn't feel right.
