As football fans we have to accept the game exists in a bubble no matter how absurd it is. £60m is the new £30m. We were happy to blow that much on Sissoko who’d just been relegated with Newcastle and was widely regarded as a carthorse at the time, don’t get the hold up here with a quality player like Ndombele.
******************
To be fair to Sissoko, he was not regarded as a cart horse at the time we bought him from Newcastle. He was in fact a member of the French National squad. And had been instrumental in the midfield of their Euros winning team.
When he got to WHL he went into a total decline. Lost his place in the French squad. And generally disappeared from view.
Why? I have never seen an explanation.
I can only guess that "personal problems" were the root cause.
Which is why the rumor that Pochettino is thinking of hiring a well regarded sports psychologist is IMHO a very good idea, and not just for Sissoko, but for the whole team. We have other players "in decline", like Eriksen.
After the hiatus, Sissoko came back.
Why? Again, No idea.
But nowadays he's our best attacking midfielder and strong man, and ..... I believe he's back in the French squad, but AFTER their WC.
Ndombele is believed to have indicated to Tottenham that he wants to come to the Champions League finalists and Levy is pulling out all the stops to deliver Pochettino his top target.

Let's hope so DD, we should be aiming to catch Liverpool which I think we can with a couple of signings (NDombele, New RB, etc) but not if they sign Mbappe.

Liverpool won CL and lost just 1 game in the league. I think they've hit their capacity. Its a matter of those around improving rather than Liverpool extending gap themselves.
