Swap deal you say? Christian Ericksen anyone?
Who?
Swap deal you say? Christian Ericksen anyone?
Mate there's a reason Pogba is widely regarded as being one of the best cms in football on his day (which is true, but not nearly consistently enough, obviously). There's also a reason why Zidane, for example, have been wanting him for 3 years now. The winners of the biggest honors today, i.e Zidane etc want him. Not the old guard who still favor intangibles such as 'fight' and every other similar platitude like José, who won the biggest medals 10 years back, when essentially the last generation of "soldier" footballers who thrived under managers such as Capello and Mourinho quit. Today's footballers are just different. Most of them need an arm around the shoulder & stuff like that, not public bollockings in the press every other week.He should never have signed Pogba in the first place, he's poison. If Ndombele is acting like a lazy prick then Mourinho needs to get him out asap. What's the point of having someone who appears to be a good footballer but can't be arsed. Look at Ozil. You can't keep these players if you get a chance to sell them.
Because he has been that effective in the restart!
Isn’t Skriniar really highly rated? Why would Inter part with him?
Exactly this. If it’s true they offered semedo, coutinho, and umtiti, that package is soooooo much better than any combo of brozovic, skriniar, and fucking perisic. And I also believe that we should keep him at ALL COSTS unless he is forcing his way out, and it’s quite possible we’ll never know.If Ndombele is pushing this and the club have had enough, I’d much rather go back to Barcelona with our tails between our legs and take Semedo plus cash. There isn’t a single one of Inter’s trash I’d take otherwise.
Be mental to sell him, and even more so at a loss.
he got 45 minutes against Bournemouth, we looked better when he was on than when he wasn’t. The fact he didn’t play beyond that is on José not him, he could have praised him post match but chose to destroy him again.
Not his fault Mourinho can’t judge technical players unless someone else has developed them fully before he turns up. its his blind spot even if he is a brilliant tactical manager. There are numerous examples that have been mentioned.
I dont believe this Ndombele, especially at 45m... just cant see it at all the guy has so much talent, skill and potential it ridiculous, only way i see if this could ever happen is if its been agreed and determined by all at spurs is down to his attitude and mentality and the staff simply cannot see be changed. He had his settling in period per se now and if things dont change then maybe yes next season.
