Catastrophic mistake in terms of scouting. When you are about to make your biggest ever outlay for a player, the due diligence has to be ratcheted up to 100%. Instead it would seem that Poch said ‘I want him’, and the club backed him without thoroughly examine his psychological approach to being a professional footballer.The mistake Tottenham made was not doing enough background checks on his character and the support he'd require...it was basically all left to Sessoko. I still feel he is a brilliant talent but obviously not of the required mentality. For the record between Ndombele and Lo Celso I feel both were flops Lo Celso being the biggest.
it’s sad all round. Huge financial blow for us. And whatever reputable reputation he had before is obliterated. Everyone in the world knows that he is lazy and unmotivated. And that is just what we see on the field. Would be curious to know if it shows up the same way in training.
