I agree. Please leave before the transfer window closes.

Must be our worst signing ever considering how much we paid. 60m for a rabona and a few cool looking dummies.

How on Earth are we going to convince anyone to pay anything for him, never mind pay up his absurd (reported) wages? Send them the youtube clip of the goal vs Sheffield I guess ?

Perfect example this. Just because you have talent doesn’t mean you’ll make it in the premier league. What he has in talent doesn’t make up for the fact he lacks serious motivation and determination. Such a shame!

i just don't see where he can go once you take everything into consideration. a loan swap for someone at psg(insert messi jokes) is about the best i can come up with.

We need to strengthen our psychological tests on potential signings as picking up someone that's so obviously mentally weak for such a big price seems pretty negligent.

Be lucky if we half our money on him.

This is it. Arsenal have released 5 players on high salaries this calendar year because no one would buy them.

At this stage my guess is the best we can hope for is loaning him out and saving on some salary.

In the long run this looks like his signing will be a very expensive mistake.

He is going to be our Winston Bogarde with the wages he is on. He will sit on the bench with the biggest smile on his face.

For those that dont know who Bogarde was, he "played" for Chelsea prior to Roman takeover. Came with a great reputation and big wages at the time. However, he had no motivation and sat on Chelsea's bench happily until his contract ended.

Got to wonder how his lack of fortitude and mentality wasn't flagged at any point when we presumably profiled and scouted this guy.

Do our scouts just watch the same YouTube videos of isolated skillz that suck the fanboys in?

I guess that's why we now have paratici running the show.

If it's true that the club heard reports about Ndombele's former coaches and teammates questioning his attitude, that should have been enough for Levy to pull the plug on the whole deal.

Tremendous footballer who will go on to be superstar, but a terrible signing for Spurs. If I recall, the story of his signing was that Levy locked him in a room (metaphorically, I'm sure) until he signed. Surely we should have realised that, unless he signed up with unreserved enthusiasm, that we would have issues with him.

Will go down in Spurs history as just another Kevin-Prince Boateng. All promise, no delivery.

I've been calling him a fat lazy fraud ever since he got here, and reading all the comments here, it seems I'm not alone in thinking that. I can't wait to see the back of him. I only hope his agent can find another mug club like we were to buy him ASAP.
