Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Amo]

seeing him grimace in pain as he ran onto the pitch against wolves did make me wonder if Tanguy's a lot older than lyon led us to believe? The Tangoe add from the 90s came to my mind.....you know when you've been Tanguy'd

Exactly what people suspected about Winks.

Let’s see who the new manager will be before do anything. He may want him.

Unlikely.

Where did this rumour of the 3 french lads refusing to travel come from? Anything credible or is it a 2+2=22 in the same way that Lamela having a Cocaine addiction was?

Trix said he reckoned that was the case, purely opinion not itk, when it was asked why none were on the bench even.

Interesting. Cheers.

He can't even stand up straight! I suppose Fergy famously said Henderson can't run.

I would sell him this summer if we can get a good fee for him and I say that with great disappointment as I absolutely love watching him play but he just doesn't seem to be able to cope with the pace of our league off the ball or maybe doesn't want to put in the required shift. he looked to have sorted his fitness at one point and then somehow got unfit again as the season went on (I mean cardio fitness not injury)

 

[Goobers]

He has given us some moments and performances that have shown what all the hype are about but not enough. Having said that when I really think about it I would rather he is win the squad list next season than not.
Also I think the new boss should have the final say on him - personally I almost feel like he is too talented to let some other team have but ti will take patience and coaching and a system in which he can fit. I can't imagine being left out of the les bleus squad would have helped his mentality though.

I can’t see Sissoko or Aurier refusing to travel. Doesn’t sound like them

racist

jesus christ I said in the same post its disappointing as I love watching him.. Its so sad that you cant make a valid criticism about his lack of stamina which even when Mourinho was putting faith in him he was always the first taken off because he tired quickly. Without then being called racist because he is black. Gareth Bale was also lazy at times this year does that mean i'm racist as well because he's welsh? get a fucking grip you virtue signaling idiot.

racist

Can we stop this shit now please? If there is any actual racism on this site please report it to a moderator. But that does not include every negative comment made about a player’s abilities or attitude who just happens to be black. How the hell is a fight against racism to be fought if the issue is diluted to pure farce? Enough now.

? was a joke based on the other ridiculous racism shout

 

[sausage]

Apparently Deschamps selects him because he's a positive dressing room influence amongst their squad, something he greatly values considering the toxic disharmony and shenanigans displayed by previous French teams

Not the first to say it though

Crazy that I think most of us would have pegged him to be the opposite, before he joined

to trivialise racism is ignorant we’re not talking about calling people the N word or anthing like that. We’re talking about thoughts, treatment and preconceptions of people based on race and the way it is institutionalised. It’s idiots like you shouting us down and making it into a joke that sets us back. Spurs fans and society have a problem with racism and the refusal to acknowledged and even shout down the experiences of those who have faced it. There are lots of preconceptions about black players that are racist and displayed Openly look at the daily mail and is coverage of black players as mercenaries or flash kids. It’s horrible and has to stop.

 

[weststandyid]

no one is trivialising. good that you have a sense of humour.

The thing is any incoming manager is going to look at our midfield and will be pressed for an answer of how to play Lo Celso & N’Dombele together. That’s 120 million pounds together and any manager playing attacking football has to have a plan to get a shot at managing Spurs.

I hope he turns it around. I’m not the most confident but I’m still interested by his long term potential and we won’t get much for him this summer if we sold.

I would rather N’Dom than Lo Celso who would be my first out the door. He just isn’t good enough

What about someone saying they suspect NDombele faked his age? Would that be considered racist?

GLC for me based on past couple of years. As much as he's been below par this season, at least we have evidence that he can control the tempo and is without a doubt more mobile, tenacious and tactically able.
