Spurs agree £65m fee with Lyon for Tanguy Ndombele 

Well if true means that they aren't going for tielemans great news. Then there is still contract talks with levy which more often than not doesn't go well

[Stadt]

That’s a superb signing, Dembele was a one man midfield at times and Tanguy Ndombele has got huge potential as his successor. Spurs are fairly switched on as a club - they’ll be the main beneficiaries of Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea ****ing up because as long as they keep hold of Pochettino (or replace him well) they’ve got a Champions league place secured for a few seasons 

[Super_horns]

Lampard will ofcourse get time and support form the Chelsea fans but how long will the board give him?

 

Suspect they will still expect top 4 and some sort of cup run...

Whilst I'd be happy to pile on a greedy footballer these stories are regularly reliable.

It's been proven in court and the judge ruled in her favour.

He paid her ok when he was with us ..... clearly going to Man City makes you arrogant!

Manchester City midfielder David Silva says he will leave the club at the end of the 2019-20 season.

The Spaniard, 33, has won four Premier League titles, the FA Cup twice and the League Cup four times since joining the club in 2010, playing 395 times.

He featured in 33 Premier League games last term and scored six goals as Pep Guardiola's side retained the title.

Asked if he would stay beyond next season, Silva said: "No, this is the last one."

He added: "Ten years for me is enough. It's the perfect time for me.

"Initially, City were talking about two years, but I decided to sign [for] another one, so I finished at 10 years.

"It completes the cycle. It's a nice round figure. I can never see myself playing against City for another team. So 10 years - that's it."

One of the best players the PL has ever seen.  One of the few players from the "big six" I actually really like.  X

Great player who has game changing abilities. My main concern is that Pep will see Maddison as his replacement and continue to have a little word in his ear at the end of both matches this season.

Some players look like they were born to play football and he's one of them. Makes the game look so easy. 

 

You see people saying about the physical demands of the Premier league but his talent outweighs any physical disadvantages he has

Clubs do it on the continent. Look at Zidane. 

 

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

Tell me another one. Zizu was a coach a RM after finishing playing and let's face it, you could have managed that RM team to the title.

 

Look at Henry. Most footballers who go straight from playing to coaching fail.

He was arrogant for the last 2 years with us too.

Maybe Mahrez will get some decent gametime in 20/21 then.

Pep did it too. 

 

Zidane only had 2 years manager experience with the reserves before taking the big role. 

 

I'm not saying it will definitely work but I see no issue with it. It's a gamble that may work out

There's literally loads of examples across Europe over the last few decades. 

 

People like Cruyff took top jobs as soon as they stopped playing.

Niko Kovac, now at Bayern. Jurgen Klopp. You could grow a huge list, so as above, there are many examples of success.

 

Even at Chelsea, Di Matteo managed to win them a CL title.

Probably not the best examples. Kovac managed Salzburg, Croatia and Frankfurt. Di Matteo MK Dons and West Brom. Klopp, seven years at Mainz. 

 

Guardiola and Zidane more comparable as they had 12 to 18 months managing B teams of Barca and Real Madrid.

You could tell immediately with Pep and (less so) Zidane that they are elite coaches. Lampard’s Derby underachieved considering their team and resources.
