An agency isn't particularly invested in Moriba's earnings 5 or 6 years down the road, but Moriba should be. If RB Leipzig were an option on the table this year, that's a better option than Tottenham given that they're in the Champions League (and playing PSG & Man City) but sitting around and not even getting B squad minutes would be a giant disaster for his development.I think the agent's plan was for him to sit out entirely - no football at all at any team for a year - so he can go to Leipzig next season on a free.
That seems...not ideal for an 18 y.o.'s development.
This is Ndombele money.
One is indeed gratified that one has been corrected."Tha's wearing" - not "thou's wearing". Just saying.
I don't trust or believe those figures though. Paratici is experienced enough to know the impact on the dressing-room of bringing in a lad on higher wages than some first-teamers.Yeah the salary figures are a bit scary and if true will cause problems in the dressing room with more experienced players on much less.
This is Ndombele money.
McDonald’s and donuts ?Juve have sniffed at Ndombele and just freed up a huge part of their wage bill...

Fabio has taken over as head coach? :nunoshock::nunoeyes:
I'd rather a cheap punt than a 65 million punt that's stuck in the canteen stuffing his cake holeI'm just bored of all these cheap punts, we never learn
No it's isn't.....
€8m = £130kpw.
€10m = £163kpw
(Ndombele = £200kpw)
Leipzig aren't paying that, Barca aren't paying that; thus we don't need to pay it either.
There always used to be a similar rule here between junior and senior football. It could affect players who were usually in reserve teams. Where if they got taken with the 1st team in senior football for a certain number of games in a season they then weren't allowed to play junior football again that year. But the slate would be wiped clean at the end of each year.Good post mate thanks.
Because it's a "new" season maybe the number of games he's played last season doesn't carry over for this? (I've no clue if this is the case just throwing it out there as maybe a possibility).
So the similarity is that they both like getting payed? This is meaningless. His agents DON'T want him to sign for us, they want him to wait a year without playing to go on a free to Leipzig (which is fucking insane).Ndombele signed for Spurs as his advisors/agent liked big fees, his wages etc. Within days/weeks of arriving at Spurs the fact Ndombele found he needed to train hard and watch his diet caused him to try to get out of his contract.
So the similarity is the agent/advisors poor advice to player on difference between French league and PL which Ndombele clearly didn't understand or want.
I think that story of wanting to earn £7m per year is bollocks for what it's worth
It's because he didn't take a low wage and stay at Barca like Pedri and other youngsters did.Do they hate them because most of Spanish mainstream media is racist? Or is there another reason?
They'd be madJuve have sniffed at Ndombele and just freed up a huge part of their wage bill...

So he's clever then.It's because he didn't take a low wage and stay at Barca like Pedri and other youngsters did.
So I went through that Athletic article, and the reason it gave for him staying one more year was this:
The issue seems to be that he's already on really high wages for a youth player, and he expects to be in the first team (and to have a new contract that reflects that). This would likely be an issue for Spurs as well, unless he's going to become a first team player right now.
I didn't see anything about a special deal with Leipzig that would get agents more money. He would have way more options to go anywhere if the market recovers and he's a free transfer though.
