The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August

Cant say im shocked. If hes really not in it, get rid.

 

[Mr Pink]

I'm really optimistic for this season because I have complete confidence that Mourinho will sort out the squad in order to get what he needs to mould us into his kind of team.

So for that reason alone the ITK has been pretty exciting so far imo.

And if we can sell Ndombele for a reasonable fee (if he really wants out) and reinvest with Mourinho's targets all the more exciting.

There's just fuck all point in keeping an unhappy player with a poor attitude, in fact it could be damaging in terms of the rest of the squad.

 

[paulcumpstone]

Really worrying news about TN, he has shown glimpes of brilliance but has looked overweight and disinterested at times. I have no issue with letting him move on if thats what the club have decided to do. My worry is that how is a player that has clearly had a poor season not lost any value in the current transfer market with whats happening in the world. If DL is hell bend on getting his money back then i feel we will be stuck with a top earner sat on his hands preventing us from addressing the squad that so clearly needs investment after years of poor decisions

Last time we heard news that Ndombele refused to train and play for Tottenham day after José said its not true and he doesn’t have a problem with him. He also said Tanguy in lockdown worked really hard and was committed

What do you expect Jose to say?

 

[ackie]

Wasn't there a rumor that Barcelona was interested?
Coming from different sources that he has bad attitude, just get rid.
Like @Trix said, CL teams will have the money.
Maybe back to France.

On another note Gedson news is positive

When he was fit he played under Poch, in January JJetset (on Twitter) said that Mourinho really rated Ndombele. There has been some breakdown in that relationship *if* the latest ITK is correct...

Never take what a manager says in a presser or post match interview at face value.

 

[topper]

If the Goat's bleat is near the mark I would leave him to rot training with the Academy players; alas we need the money so the only sensible solution would be to sell.

 

[wallyjakeman]

Huge failure from everyone involved. So frustrating.

I think he said publicly for example that Pogba is virus. If that’s the truth he would also said to end that narrative he has agenda against him not that Ndombele is taking the piss

 

[Johno1470]

You can blame the people responsible for the signing all you want but he wasn’t like this for Lyon. He bossed City twice in CL games and others. He lit up his league and had rave reviews. Of course the club has to do a background check on their players but to me from the outside looking in, TND just has a horrid attitude and application in training and games. He wa given a huge contract and pretty much doesn’t care now. I’d happily sell but will we get the money we want? As ITK mentioned creative deals may be on the table for a few players.

Actions always speak louder than words. Jose rarely picks him, and never when it really matters.

All the public assurances are standard really. Hardly going to say publicly he has a dreadful attitude and he doesn't trust him.

Finances at united very different to us. To bring players in Jose has to sell. He knew this from the start. TN can provide us with two replacements. Thats why he will big him up in public. And pray someone bites.

 

[razzmaster]

If we could possibly replace Ndombele for Sabitzer we would be buying a less talented player but massively improving the team.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

Could be the worlds most talented player, means absolutely nothing if you haven't got the mentality to put it to good use. We absolutely cant afford(in every sense of the phrase) to carry any passengers. Hopefully find a taker and get him shifted.

 

[Gareth88]

Sell him if he isn't interested and bring two players in for the funds received

 

[WiganSpur]

If the ITK is true then it's not going to be that simple is it. Who's going to pay a transfer fee never mind his eye watering wages? They're not going to sign him without doing due diligence. I'm afraid we've been well and truly conned. We'll either have to rip up his contract or he's going to sit it out.

 

[Finchyid]

If he really isn’t wanted by the manager then he should get out, he’ll be one of the worlds best CMs somewhere.

I doubt that very much

 

[tottenhamlad]

Nothing ever works out for us does it. Record signing is a flop and can't be bothered to play. We can't scrape together any money for serious transfers according the the latest itk but 'big' clubs can.

Harry Kane will be gone next summer and none of us can blame him. No ambition on the field as per usual. Can't fault Levy and Enic with the stadium it's great but the rest of it is a shambles.
