So, I'll ask again - differently: Why would a team want to loan in Ndombele? He is not the calibre of player for a team competing for a CL spot - so that rules those teams out. He does not have the fortitude for a team in a relegation scrap - so that rules those teams out. And mid-table squads have no need/interest in bringing in a player mid-season, they are not moving up or down - so that rules those teams out.


He is not playing like a player who is ready to give any team 100%. No matter which league, or where they are in the table.

Its going to be a struggle to move him on - due to wages, but also the evidence of his play. We need his agents out there selling him to other teams, and convincing them that he still has the desire to play at a high level.
Because he has talent. A mid table team might cash in on a midfielder and get him on loan. With no relegation to worry about they can take a risk. If a team is fighting relegation and they have a small squad they might loan him knowing he might produce some quality to help them survive. He's actually not much of a risk on loan and the transfer market for a lot of teams is about taking chances. You make it sound like he has no future in football.

He's not a bad player that's why. He's just not at this level (a team wanting top 4 or challenging top 6) and not worth 200k a week. If he was 50k a week I think there would be plenty of mid table teams, teams fighting for survival and teams in lesser leagues who would show interest. He has quality as we saw for his through ball to Kane against Liverpool or his finish against Newcastle, teams would take a chance on that type of talent. I'm not sure they would be put off by today as they will see the bigger picture. He needs a change of club and I would not be surprised if he did well at a lesser team under a Redknapp type of manager.

No you ore so wrong he is a poor player - he hides in football matches, he doesn't show for the ball, plays for himself and not for the team his effort is minimal - he has some skill but he doesn't affect football matches he plays in areas where it doesn't matter a turn in your own half beating a half hearted press might look good on a youtube highlight reel but in reality offers nothing, he has no understanding of how to impact football matches a midfield player in name only as he is no appreciation of defending or digging out his team mates

The sorry thing is he has some attributes that could be useful but he doesn't want it - someone will take a chance on him and he will score an occasional goal and people will watch it and tell us what we missed but he is basically another Taarabt - what a waster

I wonder if Watford might take him on loan for the rest of the season with us paying half his wages.

Same reason we brought him in. We thought we could help him change his mindset and if that happened, we got him cheap. now the question is there any one that fancies themselves a better sports psychologist than our team whether it is their real skill or their arrogance.

if Ndombele doesn’t want to play for us, he isn’t going to want to play for Watford, Newcastle or some other mid table club. That is a ludricrous suggestion.
He will just sit here and take his cash, like the **** has sat and done for 3 years. He just doesn’t care, he came out after FT and just meandered around, chatted to Winks and waited for everyone else to applaud the fans

Not all leagues are as intense as the PL. Someone will get a bargain off us but it won't be in the PL. Back to France or Italy surely.

Yeah PSG would be the only option in France due to his wages. My point is we don’t know if PSG even have space in their squad and that’s before knowing if they want him.

I think it’s disgraceful he was booed off, but then again a lot of spurs fans prejudge him on his appearance and body language. There’s been this whole furore about him and his “attitude”, lazy etc. The Spurs fans perpetuate it. He won the trust of Mourinho and was undroppable underneath him often running the most and dictating play for us. But for some reason when a new manager comes in they don’t like him. Time and time again the same useless guys are given opportunities to play there way into bad form. It seems like he has to have a stellar game to impress. Think getting dropped for the cup final really hurt his confidence.
Is this a joke post?

I'm ? confused.

Unless he's hoping for a move to a conference club I don't know who he thinks he's going to impress with performances like today's.

We're absolutely fucked. No chance any bigger clubs will want him, and no chance he'll want to go to anyone below our level.

Bloke is in embarrassment to sport. I don’t care if you have talent. The club has paid him £200k a week and that is £199.5k a week too much. The most useless player I have seen play for spurs in 40 years
