Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Archibald&Crooks]

Someone couldn't be arsed to read the rules part 3496.

The reason we ask that people DO NOT post any ITK before approaching either myself or Rob is so that we can at least try to protect people from the idiot bullshitters (sadly we have to do this for everyone, even if they appear to be posting in good faith and we're sorry about that but it's how it has to be). I've deleted the posts concerned because once we start to allow posts like that before at least having a chat with the member concerned, it's going to be taken as open season by other posters. "Well I saw it done the other day" will be the excuse.

The rules are all there for a reason, read them, you might find this place actually runs a bit smoother for it. And at the very least, I might not constantly have to spend MY TIME dealing with stuff because some people can't be bothered to familiarise themselves with how we roll.

Participating on SC at all implies you've agreed to abide by the rules so the smart play is to actually read them.

I'm old enough and ugly enough to have seen many bullshitters with seemingly more solid CVs make things up on the internet.

It is absolutely nothing personal at all, this is the only post I've ever seen Liono make and I'm sure he is a terrific guy but sadly the days have gone when you can leave your front door open and let the old guy next door in without doing some background checks.

Yeah wasn’t having a go to be honest, I probably worded it wrong which made it sound that way. I do like the random ‘potential’ ITK though, sometimes the regulars info has the ‘here we go again’ vibe to their posts.
That’s why I like Trix, Herc and JJ posting in here as they can give more insight to their info rather than ITK statements pulled from other sites where the ITK themselves cannot expand further.

No posts in 6 years, Madagascar picture, name Reggieberbatov. Head says no, heart says yes. He's ours.

Don’t really participate but always read the ITK. Lifelong spurs fan nothing nefarious. Sorry admin can’t be arsed to read the rules. Innocent pass on of information if it’s not for here then that’s fine. I shall continue to read in silence it suits me. I actually dug out my password to post this..

Would you rather trust someone who posts shit every day or someone who may post the occasional snippet of genuine sense/quality/truth? Fingers crossed on this one.

willian was literally signing the contract before jose rang his agent directly. skanky mofo.

Think we then went and bought eriksen because of losing out on Willian....

I think I may be falling in love.

I think I may be falling in love.

Fear it may be a short romance though.

Wasn't Juve interested in milinkovic savic. I can't see them singing both. We need Ndombele more as we have played without a midfield all season.

 

[matty74]

Jesus what are juve building a team just of centre midfielders

Doubt they will want, or be able to sign, both. If SMS were our consolation prize, I could live with that.

 

[Univarn]

I want to be excited by this but I also don't feel like this is new news? Like stories that we and Juve had both submitted initial bids and been rejected were floating around pre-Aulas stating he was talking with PSG. I also don't see a new article on Lequipe's site yet (I guess it could be in their paper edition?). I don't know, GFFN are pretty reliable even if they are not always up to date on translating everythibg. Retaining skepticism.

 

[dtxspurs]

Maybe it’s a little dirty but I would 100% bring up the Moise Kean situation and make sure Ndombele is aware how damn old that Juve squad is. They’re in for a big rebuild here in the coming seasons.

Probably not Pochs style, might be Levys though..

Apparently City are back in for him as the Rodri deal isn't going as planned for them

He's a backup target to Rodri but doesn't solve the problem they are trying to solve by buying Rodri? He's not a DM. Doesn't make sense to me.

Agreed.

@Duskwen still has me back down to a semi, though.

Pep probably thinks he could shape him into a No. 6. Hopefully Ndombele isn't interested in changing roles and will be put off by it.

I get your point, but B Silva wasn’t a typical CM when they signed him.

My guess is they (a) feel they need greater physical presence in midfield (b) see him as an excellent prospect who it would make sense to invest in anyway (c) they could well convert him in time

They’re a massive threat here IMO
