If he's not that bothered then get rid.

Indeed but why even bother to select him at all, just pick Skipp and leave at home. It's obvious he doesn't want him around, he probably doesn't wanna deal with the media questions that would bring

My crystal ball tells me Ally Gold is going to piss Mourinho off in the video conference with this question!

Ndombele is just so much fun to watch and he’s never going to apparently get a chance to gain match fitness/earn trust. Mourinho is a jerk, we know this, and let’s just hope if we end up selling Ndombele, we get someone decent in return and not just another physical specimen.

And we will all look forward to Ally’s subsequent 3 articles detailing the exchange over the next week. I really enjoyed his newest article “I had a dream about Tottenham last night, and this is what it revealed...”

Just our luck that we'd bring in a new manager who has no interest in the club record signing just bought the summer before, only to have world football revenues crater and transfer fees likely plummet overnight.
I don't see how we'd possibly get anywhere near what we paid for him, and if Mourinho can't even be bothered to bring him on when we have the match won and players flogged to death it's hard to see where Ndombele will ever get a chance to win him over.

To not even get 10 mins is a joke. Clearly something isnt right when he puts winks on instead. Jose is going to waste our biggest talent and we wont be spending £50mill again for a looooong time. So frustrating.
We won!

Ah the Wolves game followed by the Burnley game were his last showings in the league ...
Loving the running commentary on him being fun to watch ... Those two games, (limited) against Wolves and the 45 against Burnley he was fun to watch?
Blokes stealing a living and some of you are still fucking enamoured with his youtub highlights and his cameo against fucking Villa.
Sell him, we bought two eights and he isn't the same class as Gio.

Look at you lot wetting the bed. We win, we controlled the game, we kept a clean sheet, and you guys are far more concerned that your favourite player on FIFA didn’t get on. I want him to succeed with us as much as anyone, he’s all flair and imagination which is what I want to see at Spurs, but the manager isn’t going to bring him on to do him a favour, it’s up to Ndombele to be patient and make himself undroppable once he does get a chance. I’m no Winks fan, but he came on as Mourinho wanted to tighten up the side to ensure the clean sheet. Lamela and Bergwijn came on because Dele and Lucas weren’t clicking. If the only reason to bring on Ndombele is ‘points are in the bag so we can carry him while he figures things out’ then he shouldn’t come on. This isn’t Teenage Bale 2009 who had been plagued by injury and poor luck despite perfect professionalism coming on 4-0 up v Burnley, this is our record signing showing up a stone overweight and with not endurance having got a big move and losing the trust of two consecutive managers. I hope he turns it around and becomes the player we thought we were getting, but if he doesn’t then that’s on him, he took his career for granted when he had everything set up for him and it’s up to him to not repeat that mistake if he’s lucky enough to get another chance. I hope he gets it, but if he doesn’t it’s his own fault.

Come on, prior to lockdown he would have been hanging onto any sort of future under Mourinho by the skin of his teeth - and even that is because Mourinho is at a weak point in his career and has to tread very carefully, peak Mourinho would have banished him I reckon.
What does Mourinho value in a player? Disciplined guys who will follow instructions, tough mental characters, and people who will work hard and go the extra mile. All Ndombele's silly bollocks so far (fitness, attitude/soft mentality, workrate) flies in the face of what Jose holds dear.
He was never starting these games, so why the shock I don't know. And it is no surprise to me either that he hasn't come on and is way down the pecking order. I think it's quite probable that Mourinho and co. are going to make him jump through hoops and see just how determined he is. If he just gives up, that is the question answered as far as Jose is concerned.
The guy has to knuckle down. He's in match squads, at some point - whether it be next week, next month, next season - a chance will emerge if he's kept working hard and Mourinho regains some trust in him, and then he's got to start showing the qualities that Mourinho holds dear out on the pitch. But at the moment, I don't see how this is surprising to people.
