It's all dodgy as fuck over at Barca these days.... Shame on La Liga for letting it slide.
Levy bending over but Aulas is not using vaseline this time
Probably works out that we get 100% of his wages off the books - but it looks better for Lyon
That's true, it's become very apparent that being 'good' in a European league will not necessarily transfer over to the EPL. Pick your own reasons for that.
Hopefully these two youngish players have what it takes with regard to fitness and mindset, you would think that after the recent big-money misses those core skills would be uppermost when Conte looked at players. He must know that's what we need, as well as ability, to make us more competitive.
we must keep bergwijn FFS
You mean like the god patrons of TFC have managed to do so well?
Agree a loan with obligation to buy would be better, provided the buy price is £30m+, but if Lyon won't do that the gamble is someone else will pay that in the summer
Say what you want. When it comes to our transfer issues, they unfortunately are speaking the truth. Do you think there are Non-League players turning Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea down? Do you see Man City, Liverpool or Chelsea woo-ing players for two years and then being turned down? Players fight to get into these squads. When they get in, they fight to stay.
Sadly some Spurs fans have a small fish in a big pond mentality. To them, it's 'Spursy' to be fighting for fourth place. When we end up above Woolwich on the log, we have won the league. When we win NLDs, we have won the League.
I don't mind being mocked. But when it's for the truth, it really cuts deep. Unfortunately, in this case, their mocking does cut deep.
Take it to the Ndombele thread, bloke...... As cringe as all the excuses are, at least they'll be on-topic there.
Nobody wants Dele. Thats shocking. Not a single club.
If Conte didn't want them; he'll tell us all in his next presser so until them let's park this fan-fiction bullshit.
I don't think Lyon have ever paid more than 20-25 mill for a player, it's just not how they operate. They buy low and sell high.
I don't remember another player who fell away from being one of Europe's top talents, there was a time he was considered one of Englands greatest prospects, he was doing commercials alongside elite players.
Some people believe he was just found out, I don't think that's the case, my theory is he got rich young, lost his passion for the game and just treats it as a job where he can mope around giving 50%
Real shame
Agree. We also criticize Royal for his lack of attaching proficiency, but we need to take into account that he is a fullback and has trained as such. A wingback trains differently from a full back. I would expect Royal to be better next year just on account of appropriate training.
But could be a good place to show that Ndombele can still play, even if its not at a PL level, and hopefully someone like PSG will buy him in the summer ? (they can afford his wages)
This is surprising to me. Why not get him the hell out if we can?
Also side tracked along with Lingard by modelling, playing computer games all night etc as I heard it
It's a huge mistake.
ESPECIALLY since Ndombele is likely to be an utter cunt about leaving once his value dips below "fancy" clubs.
Lyon activating a purchase option means the whole remainder of that contract is their problem. Massive opportunity spurned.
we didn't want to scare lyon with the option to buy him
