I hope Man Utd totally agreeThese are actual quotes from his agent in 2019
Yvan Le Mee told TuttoSport (via Tribal Football) at the time: “I imagine him (Ndombele) at Manchester United because he’s like Pogba. Ndombele could replace Pogba.”
Honeydew oneI'm gonna be reading this thread all night waiting for the Honeydew insult!
If this guy ain't the future of football, I'll be damned. I can barely contain my excitement when I think about him.have you seen much of Hugo Ekitike? Highlights and stats look mighty impressive for just 19yo, I can't remember ever seeing him play. Newcastle linked with him today.
I think Chelsea, Woolwich and pool have demonstrably better returns from their youth squadsHow are other teams academies? Prolific or do they have the odd breakout here and there?
I agree with you.I think our academy has been fine by helping players make the step up has been horrific. Players like Parrott, Edwards, Pritchard being kept in limbo for years without getting a loan and by the time they did they’d lost so much time in terms of developing with competitive fixtures. And nobody can tell me Townsend would’ve offered less than any number of other wide attackers we’ve played since he was sold. Tanganga is the latest victim of the u23 limbo.
I’m not saying all these would’ve made it but someone might’ve. Edwards was having a really good season this season with VG until he caught COVID, and Noni is doing well too at PSV. Why not blood these guys instead of signing the likes of Bergwijn?
His wages were about 3 bob too. IIRC he was £7,500 a week at Benfica. If we paid him 5x that he’d still be on the lowest wages in our first team.
You don’t own something unless you have 50.1% of it, otherwise you’re just along for the ride.A Premier League owner is exactly what Levy is, his holdings in Spurs (roughly 25%) alone put him above 400 million pounds in net worth.
I don’t follow pal. I can’t see how being that way disposed has any bearingAnyone with an internet connection can see what’s happening with Ndombele, it’s very much out in the open. You’d have to be an ingrate to be tricked into purchasing him.
The far bigger surprise would be if anyone was in interested him. Getting a third of what we spent on him and his contract off our books would be the greatest fleece job since the Louisiana Purchase.
Conte does though, so it will be interesting to see his expectations versus our reality.Not surprised nothing came of this. We don’t buy 29 year olds.
Probably the best player in the league, 80m seems excessive though.

Hitchens got to go hasn’t he? Sure we don’t shop from the very finest of establishments but it’s only the level down after city, Chelsea and some of the European elite and he’s been an unmitigated disasterThat damage is still there for all to see. As are the architects in Levy and Hitchen.
We don't know what the rest of Levy's personal portfolio looks like, he's been involved with Lewis' private equity world for much longer than they've owned Spurs and has his own property interests.You don’t own something unless you have 50.1% of it, otherwise you’re just along for the ride.
As for Levy, he’s made good money being in business with Lewis clearly, but he’s a lackey. Levy’s wealth isn’t liquid, it’s tied up in the value of the club. Lewis has a vast portfolio and plenty of liquid cash, he’s the only one who could feasibly invest money into the club.
Spurs were recently assessed to be worth £700m, Lewis owns 70% of that and is worth £5b. So his stake in Spurs is a pretty small fraction of his overall wealth, unlike Danny. Shame Bahamas Joe likes David Hockney more than football. The 90m he spent on that painting would get us a box to box midfielder and a center back.
It's unbelievable he's still here.Hitchens got to go hasn’t he? Sure we don’t shop from the very finest of establishments but it’s only the level down after city, Chelsea and some of the European elite and he’s been an unmitigated disaster
Just dud after dud after dud
Youve an argument to make. It’s validThe facts are Poch stated "we cannot continue to challenge for major honours while spending small money"
We then proceeded to spend £0.00p for the next one and a half years.
These are the facts, my man.
Why can't you just accept that Levy / ENIC let Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur and all it's fans down, and we're still paying for that criminal negligence today.
