Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Monkey boy]

I actually think it'll turn out fine. We either see a new revived Tanguy or we sell and buy someone else. Simples

Yeah because it’s not like we’ve ever had difficulty doing that.

Jack Pitt-Brooke seems to be under the allusion we would sell him. If we do, do it outright and use the finances to buy a Grealish or SMS. Think Grealish/ SMS in a midfield 3 with PEH and Lo Celso would be really effective.

So many acronyms here ? I hope we sign ABC, JFK and ABH

 

[Snarfalicious]

Only player I’d want to replace Tanguy with would be Grealish. This is obviously an exaggeration but that’s who I can think of off the top of my head to fill the role, provide something similar to what Tanguy could and also provide a HG talent. Doubt Grealish would agree to come to us right now, though.

 

[SpursAddict]

Surely he starts tonight

Grealish 100000% - he is quality. Savic, maybe, Højbjerg, no way.

3 completely different players?

That was what I thought when we sold Carrick....and Berbatov

Well it won't be if we blow the money on somebody dreadful

Surely that should be 'JPB thinks we'll sell'. If you're going to abbreviate may as well go all in.

I really can't stand this lazy fucking nonsense.
A few points.

1, It's taken more than a few of the Premier leagues greatest imports more than a season to get up to speed in the English premier league yet people want to throw this kid under a bus already.

2, He is at a club that has sacked the manager and in turmoil on the pitch, who the fuck is going to thrive in an enviroment like that in their 1st season in the PL?

3, It's not fair to throw players into games after considerable spells out and then to castigate them when they are not up to speed, quite often it takes a run of games to get into the groove.

4, Wolves have run rings around us the last few seasons no matter who we've put on the field.

5, Against Burnley Mourinho clearly changed his shape at HT after getting it totally wrong in the first half and also had Skipp next to Ndombele.

6, He is not a CM in the mould of what Mourinho likes in his teams, just take a look through his past teams.

I think these are a series of excuses to be quite honest. I mean I know players adapt differently but look at Giovani Lo Celso for starters. I'm not saying it's all his fault but when he has been given his opportunities he hasn't really grabbed them with both hands like Gio has.

It's fine to say the environment hasn't been perfect but also that he needs to take more personal responsibility for his performances.

I'm not making excuses, people are made up in different ways.

It's great that Lo Celso has settled in so quickly but I would like to point to Modric or even Bale who took their time to settle down with us and Madrid but went onto become amongst the greatest footballers in the world.

I've seen more than enough from Ndombele to earn my patience because I'm of the opinion that he could go on to be of the level that Modric and Bale went on to attain.

Of course he might not but I think that we can afford to invest a little bit in this player.

Grealish or SMS both are great player but grealish is still not at the level of SMS. The upside of signing grealish is we got a HG player whereas upside of signing SMS is we got world's best box to box cm at our club

We don't have the pull for SMS unfortunately now.

 

[jay2040]

What a waste of talent. I believe we've handled Ndombele horribly.

By paying so much in wages!

I don’t see Milinkovic-Savic coming to us, personally. As I mentioned, I think Grealish is also a long shot.

Apples on oranges. They were nailed on starters who had our entire play go through them, Ndombele at this stage is just potential.

 

[swarvsta]

He is starting tonight!

HMS Grealish has sailed.

 

[dontcallme]

HMS Grealish has sailed.

Why? Villa are very likely to get relegated. Surely he'll see this as the time to leave.

 

[cozzo]

Grealish reminds me of Bentley who could easily lose interest at some point and priotises his social life ahead of football. Can't see him clicking with Mourinho.
