Agree. But if he came in to replace winks that’s a huge swing in quality

I can’t remember a more agreed upon position on this board that ndombele was a must buy
mych was the talk that he could have his pick of clubs and how fortunate we should be if we get even a chance to talk with him .
levy was bloody levy again for not coughing up 80 big ones !!??
it was perfect unison the cry for ndombele
I might be getting carried away with myself here but wasn’t he proclaimed dembele but more mobile ??
If … if he doesn’t do it this year and odds have shifted towards this outcome … then no one can hide, I don’t recall a single dissenter so we shall all have to hang our heads as one
80 mil just get the fucking deal done you bald cunt

Rarely I have to get involved in such a firm disagree but I stuck you with a cross because it would be difficult to disagree more
and the market disagrees with you also …even taking pep out of the equation
The view of the anti Levy brigade on Ndombele back in the day:
"Wish Levy stops fucking about, if someone jumps in and outbids us, I’d be just so fucked off.
There are times to gamble and times to play it conservatively in business, Levy needs to realise in this case it’s the latter; we can’t have our cake and eat it"
That position never changes, we want him and we want him now, if it were that easy City and Chelsea wouldn't have needed to spend a billion pounds on new players (many who have failed to live up to expectation) it's OK for them they just buy another shiny new toy.
As our finances improve we can play that game as well, but for now we still have to live within our means, that said for the third summer in a row it looks like we will spend well over 100m on new players - maybe soon we can have our cake and eat it, although it just might be a smaller cake than some others.

I don’t sean but he’s got gooner written all over him
Have a hard time believing we want this guy, especially with Tomiyasu nearly done. I figure we get a midfielder and a striker and call it a window.
Yeah I don’t think we ever held a firm interest in him. We had an on form eriksen at the time
Y
Someone was going to …. I’m just awake is all
Yeah I agree that deals dead as a …..

Is it iggy pops that’s killed all the excitement on this one ?
Slow immobile and can only play badly in the one position he’s earmarked for
yay
That sounds like a ‘come back to the table guys we realise we over cooked this one’
he went from 45-50 to 68 in the Space of 6 weeks
You should blame them ….. he has a fundamentally compromised technique that begins with his natural balance. Considering just how bad his balance is he’s done remarkably well but it’s been found out at the final level.
it affects all aspects of his game, his headings out , he’s continually’set’ incorrectly , loses many physical scrapes because he’s already off balance and he can’t pass consistently true due to it
Honestly you don’t have to be …. I could think of fuck all worse than trying to be that ‘he’s alright really’ non spurs fan
Only in set pieces, in open play they are remarkably similar, especially in terms of cowardly back passing and hiding from the ball.
If, as is now being widely rumoured, RM bid 120m for Mbappe - who will that free up at RM?
If he actually went likely Ascensio, although I think he is already on his way out.
Fair enough I don’t like to argue without a requisite foundation of info
and jwp might come in and drive me equally mad but from what I’ve seen jwp is a noticeably better footballer especially in these last 2 years …. He had that whole neat and tidy kid playing against men thing going on for years
now include his dead ball ability which is close to peerless and if it was ever mooted as a replacement for winks …..that would be decent upgrade for what 10m of the budget
Whether he is better than Winks or not is not worth arguing because the reality is that neither are close to good enough and we can get players to help with the set pieces that can actually do more than just set pieces.
JWP is wildly overrated because of his set piece play but really terrible outside of that. We should be able to bring in players that can be good at more than one aspect of the game, although it doesn't appear we have much interest in that at all.
I don't think Tomiyasu is close to being done tbh & he really isn't a right back, he is a centre back that can play their
I think Gibbsy was right
Wtf are we doing, we have just signed Brian Hill to go with Celso and Lucas behind Martinez of Inter, why do we want a team of Tiny Dancers?
