We buy plenty of players, they’re mostly just shit.

3rd or 4th choice targets. Let our rivals take the cream, then rummage through the left overs at the end of the window.
The tried and tested ENIC way.
I know nothing about this guy, but you do make him sound exciting.
But didn't we just have half the forum crying out that we should be buying a finished product instead of young promising players like Sarr and Gill? Or is this guy already a well rounded 19yr old that could play every game?
From BBC Gossip
Paris St-Germain, AC Milan, Roma, Lyon, Barcelona and Newcastle United are among clubs that could be interested in 25-year-old French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, whose future at Tottenham is uncertain after he was booed by Spurs supporters when substituted in Sunday's FA Cup third round win against Morecambe.

The magic of the FA Cup-set
Newcastle United could rival Ajax in pursuit of 24-year-old Netherlands winger Steven Bergwijn, whose representatives are looking at loan options for him away from Tottenham. (90min)
Ajax have already made a £15m bid for Bergwijn and are keen to complete a deal for him before they face Utrecht on Sunday. (Telegraaf - in Dutch)

My heart skipped a beat then I saw the link...
This is his debut season in France. He was on loan in Denmark last season. Reims are managing his minutes at the moment. I don't know if moving to England in this window would be the right thing for his development. That's the million-dollar question.
Real M. are apparently serious about signing Kessie according to this article.

Kessie in Real Madrid transfer talks despite interest from Liverpool & Tottenham
AC MILAN midfielder Franck Kessie is in talks to join Real Madrid at the end of the season when his contract expires, reports suggest. The news comes as a blow to Liverpool and Tottenham, who had b…

He's a pwopa football man though. I hear all of our problems are because we don't have any football men in the club.
'Redknapp told The Telegraph: “We have just lost our French scout, who is excellent.
“He’s just gone to Liverpool, so he’s nicked him off us a bit lively. It’s a boy called Steve Hitchen and he was really good, an English boy who lived in France.
“He’s gone to Liverpool. But he was very, very good and we liked him a lot. He would have been our main scout abroad.”
Seven years later, Tottenham have got him back, and expertise in the French market could be valuable after a poor success rate buying from across the channel in recent years.'
Except for Ndombele. Paid a pretty penny to keep him away from our rivals
There is no such thing.....
We can pay him the £36.4m we still owe him based on that contract and tell him to "fuck off" if that's what you mean.
Lord the irony that he’s an ‘expert French’ league scout:contefacepalm2:
He’s desperate to leave. I bet he’d settle for a buyout. Better than paying his full wages for 3 more years.
Ndombele was the cream.
Face it mate, we're cursed. Our strategy is to be penny-wise, pound foolish in the transfer market. We let our primary targets pass us by, then when Levy finally feels pressure he spends lavishly on players like Ndombele, Soldado, and Sissoko.
Wasn't he just a panic buy in the last days of the window when we realised we couldn't get anyone better? The other two are fair though, I do think the club didn't do its homework on Ndombele (or did, and still evaluated him worthy of a huge investment) but he and Soldado were certainly very highly rated when brought in.
Sissoko was already viewed as very mediocre and we were mocked for signing him .. funny thing is he turned out actually quite useful.
Yes, he was at the absolute tail-end of the window, but I think it still serves my point in a way because people were so fucking desperate that they were proud of Levy flushing down 33 for someone that took two seasons to learn how to trap a football.
Our record signings are Ndombele, Sanchez, Lo Celso, Soldado, Sissoko, Lamela, and Bergwijn. Cursed list.
Is £55m Tanguy Ndombele Tottenham's worst signing EVER?
Tanguy Ndombele (left) was booed off in the FA Cup win over Morecambe and it summed up his dismal time since coming to London. But where does his signing rank all time? Sportsmail takes a look.
Lol
The club should put him in the reserves. Really rile him up; piss him off royally to the point where he does something really stupid, hopefully something stupid to the extent that it will allows a smart Levy attorney to throw the book at him for breach of contract/defamation. Then we can terminate the agreement without paying out the contract.
Wishful thinking….
