If rhodri is hesitating we should at least be making a call to ndombele!
The fact we are not... maybe speaks volumes.

I will call it now, N'Dombele won't be playing for Spurs next season.

Sad interest has seemed to cease for this guy. Really felt he was the replacement for Fern when talk heated up a few windows back. Think he'll fit in handsomely at somewhere like Spurs but he'll be off to Madrid or Barcelona within a couple of years after. If he can avoid injuries he's going to be the guy in that position in world football.

Why do you reckon we are looking at others instead of him?
I have a difficult time seeing how Ndombele would fit into Spurs wage structure. They can afford it, but would they want to put him into the Lloris, Eriksen (if he re-signs), Alli tier straight away? And would he want to go somewhere where it’ll be extremely difficult to transfer away to a Madrid or Barca if they come calling?
Basically, if he’s affordable for Spurs from a wage and fee perspective we should be all over it.

If Spurs get this done. Then we really are putting everything in the Rodri basket. Let's hope it pays off.

Agreed. City must have another target. Spurs have to wait until City, Liverpool, Chelsea and United have done their business. It is why we didnt buy anyone last year.

Think people are really put off by the French league. And tbf Ndombele does have a rawness about him... But I think that is also one of his assets in terms of long term potential.

I thought he played well against us in the CL, I liked him, but if we’re not in for him there must be a good reason.

There's a likeness to Yaya with him, both in skill and in consolidation of movement. He could be awesome, but also awful, if his lack of movement is exposed. Just like Yaya.
I'm not sure we need to take that risk anymore and we'll go for a more mobile team cog, rather than someone who can turn it on when it suits.

Cheers. I really know very little about him.

I've thought similiar. He was brilliant against us in Lyon. However, watching him carefully I've seen him tire towards the end of matches or within a frenetic game. He is an excellent passer but it seemed to go a bit ropey as he tires.
He's by no means a real slouch though from what I've seen but your right about his mobility, its not like fern. However, I think he is strong and intelligent player.

People a bit in danger of being carried away by seeing him in two — two — good games that happened to be against us.
He's terribly inconsistent. He had plenty of poor games in the league last season, along with a number of good ones. When he's good he's very good, but when he's bad he seems to go to sleep altogether. Think Aymeric Laporte against Spurs and then cube it, and you get some idea. Just not good enough for us overall, I fear.

That was his problem is in former club. He admitted he didn't have the right mentality. He had troubles in two of his previous club. He said he didn't like to defend but now he has understood he needed to change to make a career.People a bit in danger of being carried away by seeing him two — two — good games that happened to be against us.

Imo, his talent is not in question. It is all in his head. He almost always puts on big performances against big opposition (it was a problem for all Lyon players though, good against big sides and sloppy against poor sides). The big question mark would be if his future coach thinks he can teach him to give his all consistently, even against minor sides.

Sounds like he’s be a liability in the Derby.
Probably not for us but I think he would improve Spurs midfield under Potch.That was his problem is in former club. He admitted he didn't have the right mentality.
