Tanguy Ndombele wound up Tottenham fan with his slow trudge off the pitch as his side trailed to League One Morecambe at home on Sunday, and now the Frenchman wants out.

Nobody is going to want someone with his mentality and his wage demands. He's earning around 1000x what his effort and committment deserve. Taking 5 minutes to saunter off the pitch when we needed every minute was quite disgusting and immature. He seems to have no idea whatsoever how much it pisses fans off to see his lethargy and 'poor me' attitude when he should be living the dream. Get rid of the miserable, lazy, entitled fuck.

The thing is, I truly wish him nothing but the best going forward. It didn't work out here but at the end of the day he is still a person. The thing is, how bad does he want out? Does he want out bad enough to take a paycut and go back to france or spain?

There will always be a big ego manager out there that believes he's the one able to turn the player around. The issue will be financial considering his wages and what we paid for him.

It's my guess that we could be stuck with him for the remainder of his contract due to his huge salary.

So him actively wanting to move is great news for us. But at the end of the day money talks, so we'll still need something like an acceptable offer.

Nice sentiment but wanting him out is different from wanting bad things to happen to him. He has the ability to make his own luck in life but hanging around Tottenham with his current attitude is contributing to the misery of our whole fanbase, players and staff. So from spurs point of view he needs to fuck off, and quickly, pretty please.

As I said in a different thread, investing in the squad isn't just about buying - it's about selling as well, and if selling at a loss ultimately means we move forward, Levy needs to suck it up and accept that buying Ndombele was a huge mistake. I doubt Conte has any patience with a player like him so as far as I'm concerned, whatever it takes to get TN out the door will do before he poisons the place. I've got some hope that someone in a slower league will want to take him.

I don't understand why people think our struggles to sell are due to Levy's asking price.

Arsenal lost 6 first team squad players last year on high salaries after failing to find buyers to take on their high salaries. Phil Jones has sat on his £150k a week salary and barely kicked a ball for 2 and a half seasons as no one will buy him.

Levy did suck it up on Aurier and paid out part of his contract so we weren't stuck with him for the last year of his contract. Ndombele has 2 and a half years left on a £200k a week contract. That's £25m in wages plus bonuses.

Finding a buyer to pay that salary is the challenge, it's not Levy's asking price.

Given that we released Aurier on a free and spent £25 million on a replacement who is much worse I wonder if Levy will be keen to do it again!

Or we need to be creative. Man City paid a big chunk of Adebayor's wages to get him out and we might just have to do something similar with Ndombele if we don't want him stinking the place out for for another 2 1/2 years.

Very possible that we'll need to go down this route. A £20m offer with us getting £10m and £10m going toward his salary isn't great but better than just having him here taking up a squad place and a huge salary for 2.5 years.

Yep, think we're destined to pick up a fair chunk of his wages if he's to leave.

Found The booing of our own player embarrassing, was like being at the Emirates.

Not as embarrassing as him taking 5 minutes to stroll off when we needed every minute to get back in the match. Tanguy only thinks about Tanguy (same as most children).

We were losing at home against Morcambe with 20 minutes to go and the guy is walking off even slower than he moved during the game, which is almost impressive. I'd never advocate booing poor performances from individuals but he obviously doesn't care about Spurs. Respect doesn't have to be earned, it should be the default position, but he's lost it.

Surely, a prudent CEO would always deny their big ego manager making such a mistake!
