If we have to sell I’d rather deal with straight cash. Get what we paid for him and reinvest in talented players rather than dealing with Inter for their cast offs because it suits them. If they can’t afford TND then they can clear off and shop where they can pay for the players.

Nice info but why would they swap him as sounds like he’s better than tangy?
Age, potential maybe? Idk, it def seems like inter fans would much rather lose skriniar than brozovic, but the dysfunction between conte and the board has played a role in this as well. Skriniar hasn’t even been in the last couple of starting lineups, and brozovic is consistently a key performer. I don’t get it either besides my first sentence.

Ndombele always had attitude and fitness problem ... Check his previous coaches and trainers interview regarding ndombele back in 2017, 2018 ...

And that’s what bothers me

If we knew all this why did we invest such an obscene amount of money in him?

I think he’s had some off the field issues lately

Ndombele for Brozovic & Skriniar is fine.

Ndombele for Skriniar is a disasterclass on our part.

Finding center backs that can slot in and look capable in a deep lying back 4 is not that difficult. There are plenty of Prem proven options we can get that already do this.

Finding players with the talent, vision, and output of Ndombele is near impossible. We need to give him longer, he's the kind of player that will change a season if things go right, like Payet's year at West Ham.

Skriniar doesn't suit the way conte plays so he wants to sell him, brozovic has some off field issues which inter board didn't like, so they want to sell him.. conte wants to keep brozovic and willing to sell skriniar whereas inter board wants to sell brozovic and keep skriniar ...

I haven’t seen much of Brozovic, but he seems pretty similar positionally to PEH. Not sure it makes sense to have both.

I hate this, I was so looking forward to getting Ndombele last year, I’m gutted he is being linked away, we haven’t even seen what he could do for us. But if he is attitude is all wrong then he has to go. Really gutted that we may not ever see the best of him in a spurs shirt.

It doesn't really if we get Hojbjerg (although some will say Brozovic and Hojbjerg would be quite a formidable pairing). We don't need another CB either, especially if we get Kim Min Jai. Skriniar would fit pretty well in Mourinho's low block set up, but so would most reasonable CBs, including all the ones we already have.

Presumably a lot of this would depend on whether Inter decide to keep on Conte which is not sure at the moment ... presumably they would wait to make a decision about that and then find out what recruitment they would do ?
