Ndombele (signed for Spurs)

VVD & Laporte now that would have been speacial
Who'd play at RCB? Both have played almost the entirety of their careers playing on the left and it's where both are in their best form. Van Dijk is right footed but not quite as comfortable there, Van Dijk-Laporte was never an option. It was Van Dijk-Stones or Laporte-Stones.
 
We don’t seem to want to compete in the transfer market do we? A player who could be with us 10 plus years who would bring a hell of a lot if he came? Strange.
Maybe hes not the one we want. Maybe they won't sell in January, Maybe he doesnt want to move to us in January , who knows?
 
This guy needs to be our priority. If we were going to spend 70mil on De Jong then use that money for Ndombele instead and get it done.
 
Does Ndombele remind anyone of a Mendy/Fernadinho hydrid?
Think he must remind some on here of a Messi/Ronaldo/Zidane/Makalele hybrid the way they carry on. Reminds me of Mané tbh, spends more time with his torso on the ground than his studs.
 
I thought this lad said he hates defending? If so why is everyone piling on him to be our new pivot?
after last night it is probably because he is not that good anywhere else, it is up to him but he has not got the imagination or spacial awareness to play further forward

Shiny toy syndrome. Every potential new transfer eventually ends up becoming the best thing since sliced bread, the last piece of the puzzle, the solution to all our problems.
 
Don't see why hatred of defending means you can't play holding mid for City. We have possession 60-80% of the time, lad is going to spend the vast majority of his time on the pitch attacking, just needs to put in a tackle too every now and then. We're not asking him to play Maureen or Conte ball here!

Exactly. Our DM is often as offensive as other teams atacking midfielders. Fernandinho scores a couple crackers every season, and creates loads of chances, even if he’s a DM

Even fucking Ederson is starting attacks! He'll be fine here.
 
Yeah, I don't think Ndombele's comments about wanting to play further forward will be an issue. He'll see the upgrade in our squad from Lyon's, the Premier League compared to Ligue 1, Guardiola as a manager, etc. Fernandinho wasn't a defensive midfielder when we bought him, and Ndombele doesn't exactly score a ton of goals either.
