But no one was going to spend £60,000,000 on him off the back of two good seasons in a shit Austrian league.
Whereas we should be all over NDombele who has had not just two good seasons in Ligue 1, a huge step up from Austrian Bundesliga, but a good showing in the Champions League too.
Not as good as they'd have hoped, I'm sure. But glimpses of his promise were clear before his injury.
Point is, they took the gamble and Klopp wanted him. Whilst his performances alone didn't get them to where they got last season, spending money on the ones they wanted did.
We can't afford to miss out on signing big players that will help us on our way, especially when we CAN afford them.
I can't help but wonder if we want to have the Ndombele and Lo Celso deals done simultaneously so as to avoid either selling club being able to up one price based on the other.
Also, thank God the negotiation for Ndombele is by Levy and not me - I'd have been throwing the asking price at him straight away and been bent over by Aulas. Hopefully the current haggling is because Spurs are confident we're the only club seriously in for him... though it won't stop me bricking myself that someone like City will gazump us for lingering too long.

No. They paid more than his clause, a year before it kicked in, to guarantee first option on him. He stayed until the clause activated, and moved straight to the dippers
Still, they spent big money on him after one good season in a top league because they saw someone who would improve their squad and Klopp wanted him.
It's exactly what we need to do with NDombele.
We could quite easily just go for Kessie, who'll cost half the price, has had plenty of top league experience with 3+ seasons in Serie A and will improve our squad - but we should just get NDombele in because he's better, will improve our eleven and is one of the best in his position at what he does.
Agreed. Live in Bournemouth and although a Spurs fan, get my PL fix going to all the B'mth home games. Bournemouth would have been relegated this season if it were not for Ake, he has saved their bacon. He has intercepted and defended so many goals this season. Ask any Cherries fan who their best player has ben this season 99% would say Ake.
That's probably true, together with Ryan Fraser. Wilson was great before his knee injury as well.
Yeah Fraser has also been very good. Callum has never been the same since he came back from injury.
Brooks and Lermar (apart from all the yellows!) have both had really good spells too.
It's interesting to see how Brooks will do in his second season, I think he could easily play for a team like Everton or even Spurs in the future, great signing for £11m.
clubs like Real Madrid will just throw more money on the table and swoop him away if this isn't done ASAP. Stingy cheap bastard Levy is gonna ruin this transfer window again.
Which is why this won't happen until June 30th, probably for exactly in the middle of what they both want.
Not that I disagree with the first part, but wouldn't Madrid turn to Eriksen before Ndombele? Eriksen could sign a contract today and still be sold next week, so that's not really a problem for Madrid.
Playing for a bigger club than Bournemouth (Everton) or an even bigger club (Spurs) is what I meant.
Because N'dombele is closer to Pogba in playing style than Eriksen is, N'dombele is French and N'dombele is younger.
People on here think £ 21m difference is nothing, but Levy is probably thinking that if he knocks £10m off the asking price that's a free Jack Clarke.
I don't think £66m is unreasonable, but lets not act like its not 30% higher than it would be if he was sold outside the Premier League.
Depends on what Madrid want - proven big name start in his prime or up and comer. Madrid seems to prefer the former.
Also, Ndombele may prefer Spurs at this point in his career for playing time and then look to move on in 3-4 years. Who knows.
Not that that is a good Levy excuse.
Naby is setting the market in that regard. I think Levy would pay the £60m if Poch demanded it. Or at least I hope he would.
You put the gif and your response and the quote in a fucked up order so I'm not sure what you are saying here...No it’s just that much less
But transfer money is a finite resource. Saving £10m can be used to buy another player. It's not nothing.
