Ed Aarons and Fabrizio Romano have done themselves and what remains of the lesser spotted Guardian readership no favours with a piece declaring that Tottenham are in talks with Inter over the possible transfer Tanguy Ndombele this summer.
After a brief chat with a source close to the club I this morning I was advised that this was not the case, and subsequently, I note that the Press Association’s Jonathan Veal has also given the tale a thumbs down.
Sure there have been issues with the Frenchman, but it is difficult to imagine any circumstances where Daniel Levy would stomach taking such a hefty loss in a transfer as The Guardian suggest.
The report that Spurs were supposedly looking for €50m (£45m) for Ndombele, which in itself is remarkable for a player that’s played only 1000 minutes or so for the club.
I could be tempted to unload a diatribe on you about the mainstream press, but as anyone who had the misfortune to watch any of the Coronavirus updates from Downing St will already know, most of it isn’t worth a tinker’s cuss.
Too true, clickbait everywhere. Never was so little written by so many.
It was bad enough 20 years ago with just the newspapers.. Now with the internet there is a large pool of wannabe journos pumping out even more fake news. Also majority of youtubers are terrible. Mostly amateur and poor.
Re the COVID updates,Hancock’s Half Hour used to be really funny.
Nandos. Youts them love that food
Where does he work? Burger King!
If we had made the CL we would have made more.
As a youngster I used to imagine the vim kit I mean the ajax kit in blue&white
The table below is out of date Harry
Have to say I do like the green kit…the home looks better on than on off but not too are on that one..
thats why Jose was jumping for joy, he saved Levy 10mil….nice
The cost of N’dombele could have been more if we had qualified for the CL. They wanted £63.8m,Levy gave them £53.8m plus £10m if we made CL.
People seem to think Tanguy doesn’t like going into work everyday.
Just goes to show you what a load of codswallop the press publish. wearetottenham tv were also running with this story on youtube and seemed confident it was true? I would imagine that one of Jose’s prime aims this summer is to somehow get this expensive Frenchman ticking over and integrated in the team somewhere. I expect discount Danny said something along the lines of “he cost me a kings ransom Jose – I still have sleeples nights about spending all that money and it made my hair fall out too, surely you can play him somewhere? How about up front alongside Harry.”
