It was rumoured that Aulas wanted any Ndombele deal done by the end of the month to balance the books. I'd assume that signing Lucas has turned the screw a bit, unless flogging Mendy was enough for them.

It sounds like they'll just keep changing the story and it won't ever get done, at least with us.

Got to admit I didn’t think Lyon’s financial reporting would ever emerge as an excuse for us not signing a player but it’s a new one to add into the stable I guess!

Would it even matter if the deal was concluded and announced before or after financial year end? Surely you could just structure payment to suit whatever the selling party requires? Or am I committing fraud?

I'm sure it will take a little longer. It would be our record transfer. I expect a couple more weeks yet. This is the one we want before pre-season though, Sess and Lo Celso will need a short rest after their summer tournaments.

I think to make Poch happy he needs to be there for pre-season, Poch has made it clear several times he values people in early.

We can argue whichever way about whether Ndombele will be joining us but you can't argue with the facts and fact is Aulas said himself, if we sign a youngster who is box-to-box there's a chance that Ndombele will leave. That's now happened and one of the checkpoints in Ndombele to spurs has been hit.

I'd take it as a positive their chairman was confident enough to say that and I'm hopeful based on us seemingly being the only team with concrete reports of being in for him with every other team have a different focus.

"Tanguy Ndombele is asked by the biggest clubs, nothing is done, if he had to leave we have targeted a certain number of players, Thiago Mendes is one of them"
