Aulas puts the ball in Daniel Levy’s court over Ndombele

[mawspurs]

Tottenham Hotspur have been heavily linked with the potential signature of Tanguy Ndombele in recent months. The French midfielder has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Mousa Dembele, who is expected to leave the club in 2019.

If we go after N'Dombele a bigger club will attempt to shell out enough to put him on their bench IMO.

At least Chelsea's loan structure is about to get wrecked by Fifa. Scum bags. (Chelsea and fifa lol)

Levy is past his best. I suspect Aulas will win this one.

Think it's more of a simple case that we will not be in the market for him as will not pay that amount of money.

The year is 2022. Spurs have just secured third place yet again, this time with central midfield made up of Dier, Skipp, Walker-Peters and Gazzaniga.

Just cannot see us actually spending money on a good CM.

Can’t see us playing those four in center midfield tbh

You gotta wonder who Levy would go the distance with these days.
His chin isn't what it was and he doesn't seem to have the punching power of he once had.
Even when he tries to go the distance and win it at the death he fucks that up.

Levy with opening bid of 8 million.

Every other champions League club an opening bid of £40 million plus

You could be right mate but I think a lot of it is that with even the lesser clubs in the PL having so much TV revenue these days there are not so reluctant to sell and can either pay better wages or set a higher transfer fee knowing that levy won't/can't pay it.
We saw an example of this with the grealish farce during the summer with levy trying to exploit a situation that he has done successfully many times before,but on this occasion it blew up in his or pochs face with the club failing to get a championship player over the line.
It's going to get harder trying to play that game but as levy/ENIC refuse to get drawn into modern football's market place they probably will look to mine for gold in a previously uncharted land like say outer Hebrides for cheap deals because he won't change his MO.

Aulas puts the ball in Levy’s court. Levy chuckles, picks it up and legs it

Not sure we could even afford that many skittles unfortunately

That is exactly it. And either he has to change or go.
Everything he has done to this point no longer matters. Everything he did doesn't work anymore and if it doesn't work, we'll have problems moving forwards.
In years gone by, managers such as Wilkins, Atkinson and Graham were very successful, but eventually their tactics, personalities and ability became out dated.
There is no reason to think a chairman is not susceptible to the same fate.

Then charges aulas a fortune to have it back.

If Levy continues on with what transpired this summer past, Poch, Kane, Erickson, Dele, Vert and a few others will walk.

He's involved in building us a fantastic stadium which should step us up to a better footing to compete with the monsters with whom we cannot compete financially. There is no club with less resources than us doing better than us, rather we have repeatedly finished above clubs with much better resources. When do we start judging whether what he did/does 'doesn't work anymore', last summer? This week? In a year or two years? In my opinion we are not near that day yet.

So best that we don't go after him, and then a bigger club will still sign him instead of us anyway?
The article doesn't really much, just Aulas saying that they can't stop these players from leaving, as happened with Lacazette and Tolisso. The Mirror reckon we're willing to bid £55m.
