I like it, cut out the middle man :eriksenlol:
There arent many scenarios where we can lose eriksen and il feel better about our chances next year but getting lo celso and ndombele would certainly be one of those.
Ndombele + Mendy for £112m?
Hey Totts, any thoughts on whether the kinda 'hush' around Ndombele at the end of the week might indicate good news for us?
I'd have expected constant links to pop up if a deal was still far off...
Oh hello. Further to Alasdair Gold's tweet last night and Hoddle's comments on BT Sport:
Spurs legend and BT Sport expert Glenn Hoddle has told football.london what he knows about the summer ahead for Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham Hotspur.
Pochettino has taken Spurs to the Champions League final as well as a fourth consecutive top four finish in the Premier League, yet question still remain about his future with the Argentine saying in recent weeks that he might move on if Tottenham were to win on June 1 as he might not be able to better such a season.
The manager has also frequently said that his future could depend on what chairman Daniel Levy's plans for the next chapter in the club's project are and if the Spurs will 'act like a big club' to match their new stadium and facilities.
BT Sport pundit Hoddle believes Pochettino is going nowhere and understands he will have money to spend this summer.
"He might just be boxing clever a bit. What I know from behind the scenes at the club there has been money available, there will be money available in the summer," the former Spurs manager told football.london.
"If he wins or loses, this is something he has been building and if he goes off to some of these other clubs being spoken about it's a rebuild, instantly it's a rebuild at a lot of clubs now.
"He'll be looking back at the five years he's had and if they win [the final] I think he's suddenly jumped to the top of the tree. He's the creme de la creme, but he would like to go for the Premier League [title] and get the consistency of challenging himself and the team, with the new stadium and that stand, the training ground, the squad, a better squad in the summer and buying better players, maybe not better but stronger players for a deeper squad."
Hoddle added: "It's all there. He'd have to start from scratch from these other clubs. I think he's the type of guy who takes pride in what he's doing and if he gets the right players in then he could do it the other way around if they win.
"If they lose I think it will drive him on. They still haven't won a trophy. Tottenham Hotspur have got a problem with winning finals and that why he hasn't won anything yet.
"It will be fascinating if he goes straight to the top and wins the Champions League, but I don't see him resting on his laurels and going off. He'll have other challenges to develop a consistent level of success at Tottenham. That will be his next challenge."

I'm the opposite. I think I've only seen him twice but his style of play reminded me of a fast Van Der Vaart. Was impressed.
Double swoop for NDombele and Mendy would be nice

Even better trifecta
He’d be signing more than a 1 year deal. I hate it, but Manure will be making the necessary changes to challenge for CL the following years. I’m not saying they’ll be successful, but surely that will be their story to DeLigt
I'd love to see us move for him. With no new contract for Toby as of yet and his desire to return to Ajax, surely it would be a no-brainer to use Toby in a player swap plus cash.
£25 million for Toby and £35 Million cash could be enough? I keep reading the valuation of De Ligt is around the £60 million mark.
De ligt could be in our back line for years with the potential for his price to increase dramatically. Something Levy must be aware of. Plus he has already partnered with Sanchez.
Of course i'd love Toby to stay but at this late stage with no new contract it's looking less and less likely. The absolute worst scenario would be another Prem club picking him up for £25 million. I have this horrible thought of him in a Manchester United shirt.
De Ligt has great potential ... but his failure to tackle Lucas is why we're in the CL final and Ajax are not ... that's the sort of mistake a 19 year old makes just lack of experience. With that obvious lack of experience he could get destroyed at Utd, under the immense pressure of hold together that shite back four ... probably with a brand new keeper as well ... that's a very big ask.
Sure he'll make a huge amount of money but career wise I'm pretty sure like so many before him taking the Utd money will be a curse not a blessing.
