I never heard of him before we bought him.
I hope in future if we spend big money we buy players that are proven in the UK.

So you wouldn't buy Messi?
Ndombele flopped because of reasons we knew and took a risk on. A risk no other big club wanted to take. Probably because he was cheaper than the option with less risk attached. It doesn't have to do with where he played.
I would buy Messi.
I've 'eard of 'im.
Ndombele flopped because he is not very good.
I think it is pretty clear that he has zero future here and zero chance at any of those clubs now. He could be deluded enough to think that isn't the case, but you would think there is someone in his life who could give him some reality. Going to Napoli gives him a much better shot at getting to those teams than staying here.
I also think, based on him in the documentary that he isn't too keen on England as a whole so getting out and back to mainland Europe might have some appeal, but that is obviously a lot of speculation on my part.
Literally his entire time at Spurs has been plagued by supposed reports of "he has one good game and then believes he should be playing at a higher level." And it's hard to poke holes in those ITK reports because they appear immediately credible. I honestly don't believe he has anyone giving him honest information. I think everything about him screams family and friends that just tell him what he wants to hear.
That I think is more credible in many ways, and you've seen it with many footballers who get disillusioned after spending time in France, Italy, or Spain and who expect a more stereotypically luxurious and resort-style lifestyle. It's by no means regular because for every diva footballer that wants to sun on the beach after practice every day, you do honestly see other footballers that really love it and thrive in England.
*who requested to be transferred just weeks after joining*
The guy honestly needs a slap.
Wow. I wish I could be totally shit and still manage to fall upwards like that.
Perfect club for him, you are not expected to be professional there so he will fit right in.
PSG are a building a fine collection of the laziest players in the world.

ask for Wijnaldum on loan.
Will believe it when I see it, can't wait for him to fuck right off.
Won’t happen, I think.
They only have about 10 proper games per season although even that may be beyond him.
