Former West Ham star, Frank McAvennie, has slammed Tottenham’s recruitment as they struggle to get the best from Tanguy Ndombele despite the big money they spent to sign him.
The Frenchman has been struggling for much of the time he has been at the club, under at least three managers.
He is now back in the team after initially struggling to break into it at the start of the campaign.
Football Insider revealed earlier that the midfielder will cost Tottenham £110million in total, including his £65million transfer fee and £200,000 per week wages.
For this money, Spurs should get a top-quality player who can be trusted to deliver fine performances for the club all the time.
However, Ndombele isn’t that player and has continued to show that he doesn’t want to be at the club.
McAvennie says Spurs have been spending money on players who don’t want to play for them and Ndombele is an example.
“The recruitment needs to be so much better,” He told Football Insider.
“They have been signing players who are not fit to wear the shirt. That Ndombele for starters.
“I said in the summer how strange everything was and he cost an absolute fortune.
“A fortune for someone who doesn’t want to play, keeps asking to leave and never delivers.
“Who sanctioned that? Well, it was Levy, wasn’t it? Those kinds of rank signings need to stop if they want actual progress.”
For me Sandro Tonali was the player to bring into grow into that role.
Mousa Dembele should av been replaced 4 or 5 years ago, among many other things. He wasn’t, it dragged on and on until he left then eventually Levy chucks an installment plan expense to get this no mark.
I said at the time, why was NOBODY else competing to sign this clown??
Levyologists have used this signing in arguments that Levy spends when in fact it was a huge error too late. It’s all smoke and mirrors.
An ex spammer will always try to throw a spanner in the works. Please don’t quote people who are ex spammers or scum (blue and red), perhaps their comments will be less bias then?
He should be our DOF, rather the “don of positive thinking’. That ‘interview’ shattered any confidence I might have had in him.
He’s not wrong
