Ndombele (signed for Spurs)

[Delphinho]

Just ran down mbappe from behind and tackled him from behind in the box lol.

Wasn't a pen

Wasn't a pen

Agreed. I was shocked they didn’t give it to the golden boy tbh. He was obviously looking for it.

 

[domalino]

Playing now vs PSG and just embarressed 3 defenders on the ball making a run. Got a guy sent off. Not shown but it went to VAR and they changed to red.

He went down and got Kimpembe sent off, which was the smart thing to do, but he could have kept going there and I'd have loved to see what would have happened if he did because it was a 4v2.

Unrelated, no Ligue 1 thread this season I think, but Mbappe scored 4 in 13 minutes against this lot.

Frightening.

Lyons defenders were dreadful all game. Ndombele, Aouar and Memphis were their only good performers

If one of the twitter guys makes a cutup of Ndombele vs PSG please post it here

If £70m is the going rate we should pay it the first day of the window and not think twice about it. 21 years of age and absolute class. With the squad we have already we can afford to overpay slightly.

 

[Dax777]

Wouldn’t that make him the most expensive player ever in his respective position?

Maybe I’m underestimating Ndombele but £70m seems like a lot even in today’s crazy market.

You are underestimating him. And 70 million is 20 million less than what Chelsea paid for Kepa. And 13 less than what Liverpool paid for Allison. The prior record for a keeper was 34 million

The market has moved.

 

[doobyedoobye]

Who reported the figure of 70 million first?

It was quoted from JM Aluas as a starting figure but that was before the contract renewal to 2023. It's a long shot he gets sold.

Lyon can’t sniff at that kind of profit!

They held on to Lacazette for years before they sold him.
Didn't force Fekir's move.
Signed all of their new crop till 2023.
Own their new stadium and have UCL money coming in.
They are not pressed for funds like much of Ligue 1.

 

[AllThingsGood-]

Break the bank for him. The kid is a phenom.

And that's assuming Ferns remains injury free.
If, God forbid, we enter the winter transfer window without a single fit defensive midfielder, we could try re-purchasing Gareth Barry and even he would come with a 70mn transfer price tag.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Is this rumour because Lyon beat us at home ? I haven’t watched any french ligue 1 games on BT so far, so not too clued up on this fella

kept going after a high speed over the top assault to his shin ?

Allison cost 83m ?
