Ndombele (signed for Spurs)

[Colin Bells Boots]

After we played Lyon, Pep was enthusing about another of their midfield players, not Ndombele.

Who was that player please anybody ?

Think it might have been Aouor .

I had never heard of him before the tie .

 

[northwichblue]

Yes Aouar

PSG might want him now after missing out on De Jong.

Thus raising the price and City don't do bidding wars and paying huge sums.

If so, think we'll be moving on to other targets.

Fortunately it seems like they're going to buy Allan from Napoli for €100m instead, and are also negotiating for Leandro Paredes for about half that.

If the Allan deal goes through they won't be in for Ndombele, but it might set the market price for a defensive midfielder very high.

is he a defensive midfield player ?

They havent failed it since we both did, so maybe they have no reason to fear it.

They haven’t had the accounts done for the Neymar and mbappe deals yet though have they? That will be this years? No way they pass that

You may well be right, I don’t know, seem to remember it being said last summer they had to bring in €80 mill to cover those deals, don’t know if they managed it or not, cant remember any sales. If they do fail ffp we’ll see if they were right or wrong to not fear it.

Its every 3 years the ffp accounts have to be up to date so think thats next year.

PSG have a great mixture of academy kids and bargains mixed in with their big stars. People like Kimpembe, Rabiot, Areola, Diaby & Nkunku all take up big squad roles and yet came from their academy which will be saving them an absolute ton on fees and wages compared to people like Mahrez/Gundogan/Danilo/Bravo for us.

Then there's the cheap players they have - Verratti was only 12m, Choupo-Moting free, Meunier 5m, Bernat 12m.


It's a very different model of team, their marquee players cost much more than anyone we've ever bought, but they back them up with a lot of cheap or academy players because they just don't need a deep squad like we do with Ligue 1 being the level it is.
