Watch him absolutely suck next season. So much hype here for a guy that no one heard about a year ago, we all know how that ends up usually.
Nah I don't think so, he's legit imo

Tottenham normally make good purchases, no?
Don't know for sure as I don't watch Ligue 1 but I humbly agree. Tottenham have made very good purchases the last few years and from the couple of highlights videos i have seen of him I think he is the real deal.

I'm not giving an opinion of him either way since I've never seen him play, but the forum posts give me strong Iturbe vibes.
but what does that even mean really?

Iturbe never played at the highest level

Ndombele had strong performances against Barca and City in the CL which is why he's so highly rated in the first place apart from being consistently good for Lyon.

Comparing him to that jabroni is an insult tbh

Flopping.

But yes, Tottenham know what they're doing.

beyond that though. Many players are hyped and flop. He has no similarities to Iturbe whatsoever so i am curious what you are seeing and mean by "Iturbe vibes"
Like I said, nothing about him playing. Just the similar posts to when we missed out and how much of a mistake it was to let him go, and it turned out just fine.

I am not worried about it. There are countless talents like him who come through the ranks and there will be more next window but I wouldn't judge him off of Tuz posts.

EBITDA is a tough one to calculate because of gains on sales being included and that’s not really sustainable. It’s over 100M including this and about 15M excluding this. I forecasted the uefa break even for the full year and I expect roughly breakeven (slight +). Adidas deal should step up for next season, which will help. But the most important thing is a deep champions league run. If we can get to the finals this year, we will be in excellent shape next year from a purchase perspective. If we fall short, we might need to make some sales to comply because our big positive profit year is no longer included next year.

I could see a sale of Dybala if the offer is strong (€>100MM) simply because of the gain that it puts on the income statement. That would easily let us buy De Ligt, Pogba and another big name.

While it might not be Dybala, it could a combination of others, like DC and Cancelo. I seriously hope it's not Cancelo though, I'm attached to that guy.

I think Ndombele is the real deal, full package B2B midfielder. Excellent in pretty much everything he does. But I'm not sure he's going to improve Hot Spurts that much -- Mousa Sissoko had the season of his life and they already have enough of an attacking threat between Eriksen and Dele Ali. But hopefully they will end up selling the former to Real.

Would anyone consider Dusan Tadic as a potentially cheap player with big payoff?
His Ajax numbers are startlingly good. 28 goals, 13 assists in 34 games. Can play as a wide-creator or as a trequartista.
Capello seemed to think he was the guy to sign from Ajax.

I mean he has class and quality , but I don't think he has shown that consistently enough for a big club to buy him. On top of that it's the Dutch league, so yeah ...

That's true. But he did put out up some good numbers with Southampton, but it's hard to be consistent when your star players are constantly being pillaged. He was very good with Mane & Pelle. Obviously you do need to consider that the Dutch league tends to overstate production. He did put 6 goals and 4 assists in the UCL - not shabby. And he tore apart Real Madrid 2 assists and a goal playing as a false 9. He intrigues me as a player.

I'd be very curious to see how he fairs in a 4-3-3 with Tadic-Ronaldo-Costa or something like that. Obviously you wouldn't want him to be your plan A, but if you're not buying any other attackers, he could be an interesting gamble.

Romanogli will be at Juve in the near future

Killini won’t be around forever and Rugani is the new Ogbanna
Why this obsession with this romanogli dude? He looks like a decent defender in a poor meelan defense.Maybe a little step up from rugani.You would think that clubs would line up to sign him every year if he was some kind of rough gem.But nothing ,yet somehow we are to believe he is the second coming of Scirea.

he's like 31, right? and he had one single outstanding season so far. how many potentially good seasons can he have? maybe two? sign him on a 4-year contract and watch us struggling to offload him when he's done. also we already have two +30 strikers we're likely to sell...

i get the hype about him, his performance vs real was easily one of the best individual displays i've ever seen, but at his age, i'd pass.

he's 30 so not a spring chicken lol. And for me would obviously would depend on salary and fee. If Ajax is asking like 40 million and he wants 6 net, clear pass. But if we could bring him in for 25 on a 3-4 year deal at like 3.5 net, I'd be very interested.

We're missing a true creative forward. Sarri has always had one. I'd like to see that piece added, rather than an Icardi-type for example.
