Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Luka Van der Bale]

What if he's telling the truth??

He probably is. But it’s not as simple as we send a bid, they say no, we send another. These are flexible discussions, and we’re likely quite close to agreeing even though we haven’t officially finalised the bid.

What if he's telling the truth??

Then we're not getting Ndombele unless we bid higher.

But I suspect its bullshit.

 

[Lilbaz]

What if he's telling the truth??

He probably is. He's just saying that the first offer was €45m (probably addons after) since then we have been in negotiations but it isn't finalised yet.

 

[Mr Pink]

That was obvious, and he won't be lying. That does not mean it isn't close, I'm sure it is.

Just his last attempt to drive up interest.

It's one of those situations whereby it's not what he is saying, it's what he isn't saying which is all important.

 

[midspur]

How do we watch the 18:00 Aulas presser?

Nervously I would imagine

 

[George94]

I might have made this up but didn't he say on the radio when we were literally on the verge of signing N'Jie that Arsenal had come in for him at the last minute?

 

[Gspurs11]

People, keep your shit together.

 

[spursfan77]

[ #Aulas ] sure #Ndombele "Nothing is done in Tottenham. A first offer was at 45M € , it's not enough."

Like clockwork

 

[Lilbaz]

Then we're not getting Ndombele unless we bid higher.

But I suspect its bullshit.

Disagree. Think the overall package both parties seem to agree just how much is initial how much addons etc...
We want to minimise risk that he flops. They want to minimise risk that he flops. Hence negotiations.

I dont even think its about other interest I think he is just obsessed with looking like he's a hero and wants to name an amount so it looks like he won a negotiation even though hes losing a top player.

Thats the difference between him and Levy, Levy wont give a shit if Aulas wants to announce this or that because hes not concerned with the perception.

 

[ilya]

If this somehow still goes tits I'm totally done and out of this transfer section.. at least for a 20 minutes!

 

[Hercules]

Aulas ?

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

I was nervous that would be a lot worse. His statement still makes it likely this will be agreed eventually, and that’s all that matters.

 

[Yiddo100]

Aulas ?

I’m shocked

 

[CrouchPotato]

To be fair when everyone announced fee agreed JJ said it was premature. Fairly certain we are close to a deal, just not completely over the line

 

[Hercules]

We have LOoonnng past that first bid!

He failed to mention the other bids, and the one he allowed his player travel for a medical. Yeh rite?

Not at all unusual to finalise after medical, get full results, and then wrap it up.

He seems to enjoy the attention and playing with the media (poch can be said to do this too). Good luck to him.

Just need a few other chairmans to talk bollocks so you give us more nuggets of info

 

[Primativ]

Pretty sure he did the same with Lloris and 48 hours later he was a spurs player.
