Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Well hopefully he can actually play some football and we will see if he replicate his one good season in france for us at some point. We made the one season mistake with Janssen.

He had 2 outstanding seasons with Lyon including dominant CL performances against the likes of City and Barca.

New quotes with a much more positive spin - Mourinho also says he hopes Ndombele feels ready to be involved tomorrow.

Doesn't sound that bad

That's more like it Jose.

That would be nice of him, if he fancies a kickabout with the boys at some point over the xmas period. or at some point in the season. or whatever. dont want to push him into anything, it is a bit nippy to be fair.

The sooner ndombele and lo celso are settled into our first 11 week in week out the sooner we move up a big level.

100% this. But I’m enjoying the apologetic physiotherapists that seem to be a ten a penny in this thread.

As always!

I’m not so sure about that. He may well have a very niggley injury or he could well be a Ferrari with a Skoda engine

But when he scored a great debut goal for us which I think was an equaliser v Newcastle he ran straight back to the penalty spot to get on with business and look for the winner. Loved that attitude from him so imo it’s far too early to start digging him out

I see what you mean. But a strength of character is tested at tough moments, not at the moments of joy.

Ironically lifted from the same press conference, it's just that the Norwich questions weren't out until today. All totally blown out of proportion.

 

[Klinsmannic]

Norwich actually like to play football so it could be a good game for him to come back into. I hope.

Though if they are following this story they may try to rough him up a bit now.

If they're trying to rough him up, they'd need to be kicking him in the bollox, he's got a groin injury, not bruised ribs.

 

[allpaths]

I don't mind for once not permanently ruining a player by rushing them back from injury. Especially for the likes of Brighton and Norwich we should be handling these teams regardless.

I have to go back into work next thursday, might try being honest with my boss and tell him im just not feeling it so im going to take few days more, all paid.

If not taking an extra few days puts you at risk ok being out for another few months then it would be in their interest.

Good line. Think I'll use it.

In fact best I dont ever work again, wouldnt wanna risk it.

 

[allpaths]

lads your mundane, asinine office jobs are completely a world away from performing athletically at an extremely high level. It's intellectually dishonest to even try to compare the two.

 

[popstar7]

Fair point. I doubt any PL player in history has put in the lazy, no-fucks-given performance I did at work today.

Fortunately I don’t have MotD, Fleet Street and the entire internet questioning my 10am arrival, six fag breaks and several hours searching for a new sofa on work time to deal with.

That's what me and Tanguy have in common then. Neither of us have it in us to perform athletically at the top level.
