Guardian Confirms The ITK

By The Boy -

Never has a deal spent so long being nearly done.

The Guardian say that Tanguy to Tottenham is a done deal, baring personal terms and an act of god.

Plus the money call was right, with the entire package being a shade over €70million, which pretty much deflates the nonsense from Jean Michele Aulas about waiting for a bigger bid.

Whilst I’m not suggesting this to the case, but had Daniel Levy placed his opening bid (widely rumoured to be in the region of €45million) in order to flush out the interest of rivals, then none were encouraged to break cover.

Paris St Germain and Juventus’ names were whored with some gusto and so unless Aulas ‘forgot’ to tell the world, we can safely presume there were no other bids.

Again, the most important point about all of this business is that the 22-year-old France international has been Mauricio Pochettino’s number one target – and Levy went all out to get him.

Congratulations to this blog’s critics who are dumbfounded by the fairness shown towards our Charlatan In Chief. You put the dumb in dumbfounded.

Never in a milion years would Levy stump up the wages for your top 3″s wages.I would perhaps try ben Arfa on a year’s renewal.

Ndombele will want trophy’s. He’s probably looked at the squad and the fact ENIC fc are seriel losers and wanted to know who else is coming in…….

There’s a sticking point right there.

Ndombele….”Ooo else is joining this exciting project?(French bad accent)

Poch….”……err, well, we got a young star from Leeds….but he’s going back there for a year…”

Ndombele…. “What is Leeds?”

Tbf they should still have had top 4 at our expense last season. Even with their complete collapse in the final month they finished just 1 point behind us. Now they’re looking to seriously bolster their attacking options while poch has been given another child he can’t use and has had to send back to the championship. I think both our rise and their decline have been majorly overestimated.

Is CCV on loan again?? I wondered for a while if our decision on Toby and Jan was influenced in anyway by CCV, but as you say, at 22, if he is on loan again.

That said, CB is a far more forgiving role when it comes to age.

Amos – 22 getting loaned to QPR, at 22 he is either good enough or not I would have thought.

Yep, that’s exactly what i thought when i saw the report this morning. I’m betting he wont get a single game at Spurs…

That shows the nonsense Poch had to endure, last season he was forced to convince everyone Amos was ready for action and was willing to play him……we never saw him again, and he put out the knackered 1st teamers for the opening match onward. Now he’s at QPR. Another of Levy’s fledglings…..

Luke amos out too, so not sure where the Kane cover is coming from? Or are we thinking:
Lloris
Trip/Aurier – Jan/Sanchez – Toby/Foythe – Rose/Davies/Sessingon?
Alli – Winks/Sissoko – Ndombele
Kane
Son – Moura

Linking us with 8 players (inc Jack Lewis and Ndombele), but also Malcolm, LeCelso (for £67m…he aint worth that!!) and a guy from West brom!! Silly season, I am willing to place a bet we get Ndombele, then the rest will be potential talents coming in, and nothing to improve first team.

I think Wan-Bissaka is a potential great full back. I wish we had got him in. however, £50m is a joke of a price, you are talking finished material money for a guy that is only just ticking the average boxes and needs a lot of work. I think United are desperate and scrambling to show they are trying to turn it around. They will have another stinker of a season if not careful.

I agree. I think he is in for second season syndrome and OT isn’t the place for it. He will be under a lot of pressure because of the price tag and wages. If it gets to him with the crowd on his back it could do real psychological damage. Poch would certainly develop him as a player. It smacks more of preventing anyone else buying him than replacing a pensioner in Ashley Young with a World Class name (like they used to do).

We should put in a cheeky bid for Paul Pogba. If Poch can get something out of Sissoko, just imagine what he could do with Pogba. United spent a bit of money on Lukaku and Pogba but now want shot of them because they’re perceived as a bit rubbish. I on’t know that Ole could get a tune out of a triangle.

If it adds or subtracts anything from the discussion then Ndombele going 5 minutes down the road to Monaco for his hols is the equivalent of him in a holding pattern. If he posts his next holiday snap before one in a Spurs shirt from say, Dubai or Thailand then he’s off the hook for sure.

We’ve got to sort out striker cover as these days it’s not “if” Kane gets injured but “when”. Unless we plan to play 433 with a false 9 when he’s out. Or we could play Janssen he’s about as bloody false as you can get for a striker! Ideally though a young up and coming striker to be his apprentice. We had one in Dembele from Fulham but Mr Bungle bungled again and let him go. Jeez the man is a gold plated twat.
