Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[freeeki]

Sell Ndombele to Inter, sign Dybala. Sounds dead simple

 

[TEESSIDE1]

No chance of Dybala. His image rights have been sorted but they’ve quoted Real Madrid €90m.

Have they, though?

levy will pay it. You can tell he wants to give it a proper go next year with Mourinho

 

[TEESSIDE1]

Yes, Real have offered cash and players.

 

[rossdapep]

Dybala apparently wants 15m a year from Juve in contract talks.

Yeah, were gunna front up that right? In the middle of a pandemic when the club are already taking tight measures.

 

[cider spurs]

Just waiting for Ricky Sacks to declare we're interested before I can sing and dance with gay abandon.

 

[austinfh]

At least we're not Arsenal fans saying they could do a swap deal for Dybala with Lacazette

 

[JonnySpurs]

Seems like Inter's interest is genuine and is not going away

 

[freeeki]

Mate.

The annoying thing about Ndombele? He's ridiculous on FM for me. Never seen so many volleys from outside the box go in. Dominated my midfield and won YPOTY.

I say we give him another go!

 

[emiley heskey]

Problem is ndombele's wage is also high ....not many club can give ndombele 200k per week ... A front three of dybala-kane-son would be tasty but I can't see it happening because we need to give more money to dybala than we are giving ndombele... I think finance wise coutinho will be cheaper than dybala ...

Lazy feckwit. Can't be arsed to run into the box to shoot, electing to hit volleys from outside the box.

Feckin lazy.

Well I've gone from a window of wanting Hojbjerg, a CB from Korea, a RB from a relegated team and a backup striker from a relegated team to wanting Skriniar and Dybala along with the aforementioned Hojbjerg and Aarons. Nice one media conglomerates.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Well, you could sell Ndombele, Lamela, Sissoko, Alli, Aurier, Foyth and probably have the money for Dybala and a couple of other targets. But, there's no way we are a.) Selling all those players and b.) Even if we wanted to, Levy would not budge on his (likely) exorbitant asking prices.

You'd have to sell Ndombele, you could probably sort Dybala wages by getting Ndombele off the books. Juventus were the 1 other club linked last year and their midfield is terrible so I wouldn't be in complete shock if they went for him. Pirlo would probably be an interesting coach for Tanguy also.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

The only feasible way to get rid of Ndombele is to part ex him for someone we want. Clubs either won’t pay the cash asking price or no longer have the funds to do so. Likewise we don’t have the cash to sign quality players.

 

[Inq]

Can’t be bothered to risk another year on him if we have the chance to exchange him for a quality player like Skriniar. Especially if Maureen doesn’t rate.

edit: I’d imagine that would mean Foyth would be shipped out and our interest in the Korean monster would subside

 

[Timberwolf]

If Jose genuinely thinks he's past saving and he isn't in his plans then I'm inclined to agree.

We should also only do that if Skriniar actually wants to come here though. Nothing worse than signing a player who doesn't really want to be at the club.

 

[Klinsmannic]

I like Skriniar, but what if after a year he hasn't adapted to the PL? We're stuck in the same position we are with Ndombele now. I think we (fans) write players off too quickly.

I want Ndombele to be given a bit more time, at least 6 more months until the next window. Hoping Jose and his team try to change his mentality and figure out how to slot him into the team somehow.
