Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[EQP]

I think him and Harry are highest salary earners at the club, so will be good to get that 200k off the wage bill if this transfer happens.

 

[ssamme]

Ndombele and Zaha will be a lot of fun at Galatasaray

And the one that got away Zaniolo

 

[Goldman]

From the BBC Sport gossip section:

Galatasaray hope to complete a £11m deal for Tottenham's 26-year-old France midfielder Tanguy Ndombele. (Mirror)

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Good bye sweet prince

 

[HildoSpur]

Worst transfer in the club's history by a large margin. Good riddance to him when he finally goes.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Am I right in thinking 11 million would be his current book value if he cost 55 million?

No lo celso is very close

Lo Celso at least looks like it's possible he may yet come good for us and didn't cost what Ndombele did.

Yes

 

[mark87]

Am I right in thinking 11 million would be his current book value if he cost 55 million?

No he signed a six year contract

 

[Jamturk]

Worst transfer in the club's history by a large margin. Good riddance to him when he finally goes.

Shit happens Soldado, Rebrov, Maguire, Veron etc.

It's part of football, just need to balance it up with Bale, Modric, Walker, and dare I say it Kane.

We're still well in profit.

 

[hutchiniho]

No lo celso is very close

No, Lo Celso at £32m and on less than half the weekly wage at 72kpw. He also looks like he could play a part.
Still not a brilliant way to spend our money but it crazy that NDombele has been taking home the same as Harry for the last 4 years.

 

[sidford]

He's meant to be on 200k pw so to get that wage off the books will be a big boost and will only speed up finishing the cheese room so I for one am delighted we're selling him

 

[Japhet]

I mean there's loads. I'll give you Pogba to Juve for free, buy him back for £100m+ and then send him back for free for one. But yeah, it's a shame. Another wasted talent.

Or Lukaku for 97m and barely kicked a ball before being punted out on loan.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

‘Cut their !!!£85million!!! losses’ that is.
A thoroughly unbelievable waste of money.
Can’t be many more expensive transfer mistakes in football history.
At least we get £11m back and no longer have to pay him like the best player at the club.

Eden Hazard cost Real Madrid around €140m and he turned up to pre season overweight and injured, played 54 games and left out of the back door for nothing.

Coutinho cost Barcelona €142m and whilst his stay there wasn’t particularly successful but not as disastrous as Hazard’s move to Real, Barcelona had directly supplied Liverpool with the funds to challenge for titles, including beating us in the Champions League final.

There are many, many worse than Ndombele.

Yes there are but he is without doubt the worst in OUR CLUB's history.

 

[spursfan77]

I’ll be delighted when he’s gone in all honesty. Once he has, I doubt I’ll give him a second thought until one day when on here we are discussing our worst transfer mistakes.

For me, this is what it’s all about. Finally getting some dead weight off the books properly so money can be freed up and reinvested (in the cheese room obvs).

 

[wrd]

Disappointing if true. Lo Celso came back and has (seemingly) proven there is an opportunity here if a player is willing to take it.

Might just be an opportunity for for one of them though, numbers game.
Very unlucky knock for Ndombele in pre season training, he was meant to start day after.
