I just wanna write one more thing: this guy- had he worked out/all basically went according to plan- might literally have been my favorite-ever player. Watching highlight reels of this guy gets my- um- excitement up lol. He does things I've never seen a player do. Because of this, I fucking despise him. My love for his talent is inversely proportionate to my disdain for him as a player and- sorry- a person. Excuse it all you want- and yes, I don't know the guy- but I'm sorry: this human being COULD be one of the BEST CMs on the fucking PLANET. No one does some of the stuff he does; no one. The guy has talent that is a gift from God and the fact that he doesn't even fucking TRY and play up to it makes me want to vomit. My son is a fairly high level (young) player- not the best kid, but on one of the top 20 U10 teams in the USA- and the happiness he felt when we first inked Ndombele was so pure. He was 7 at the time- and he would explain to me "what it is he (Ndombele) just did" in whatever highlight reel we were watching circa 2019. Now, the poor kid just shakes his head- which makes me so sad. It's bloody shameful that this piece of shit earns more in 3 days than (schoolteacher) daddy does in a year- and just couldn't give two fucks. I don't give a shit about the excuses (new culture/new managers/losing his "friends"/etc.); the guy is a lazy piece of shit and I wish I never knew he existed. Hate the fucker. Sorry everyone- just had to get this off my chest.

Would letting Japh and Gil go leave us a little light on the bench? Both were named on Sunday although we have Spence, Lenglet & Skipp to come back and Sarr wasn't named. Is that enough?
With the recent info about Conte still wanting an AM, CM, and CB, I think it’s more like Gil/Sarr/Tanganga may be allowed to leave if/when we get reinforcements in those positions respectively, otherwise they will provide cover until Jan.

I always remember that when he joined there was something that he had said about “just you wait” or “you ain’t seen nothing yet”. What an absolute disappointment he has been. There were flashes or quality but overall just meh.

He'll be back here next season, and just you wait and see how he tears the league up

I used to say and think this. Tanguy, Dele, Taraabt to name a few, they never change, we just live in hope that they do, but they don't.
Dele changed he had the hunger (football not chick king) almost unlike any youngster since Rooney and then he found social media etc and lost it its very sad to see as he clearly must be struggling with his mental health to decline the way he has and as fast as he has. Ndombele and Taarabt I don't think have ever shown hunger to be a winner.

Yeah. I can't recall such a fall from grace. It was there for him, right in his hands. He was scoring goals right, left and centre, terrorising defenses every game. Then he seemed to hit a wall. He seemed to lose that nasty element to his game and never got it back. You could make an Hollywood movie based on him.

TN:
"you ain't seen nothing yet"

Our assumed meaning:
"What you have seen so far is like nothing compared to the better things you will see in the future"

The meaning:
"You haven't yet seen nothingness in the form of a footballer, but in the future I will give you that experience"

Sorry but you really need to get a grip. Saying you wished you never knew he existed and that you hate the fucker. I know we are all very invested but chill out man.

If we sign another forward and a cb I would imagine they go. Not with how it is currently no, we’d be too light on the ground, but say we bring in zaniolo and a cb then they should go. If we bring in zaniolo and that Ukrainian then maybe sarr goes on loan too.

Wow, I got a bunch of negs saying his ability was in question... this is a little... strong, IMO. I don't particularly like that Tanguy gets paid for such a lack of effort, but hate, really?

To be fair it was obviously written with a bit of dramatic flair but it does sum up the way a lot of us feel more or less. I’ve never seen a player waste so much potential. He should have been the player we built the squad around and this summer we should be fighting off the likes of Real Madrid to keep him. Instead we’re loaning him out to a lesser club in the hopes they can put up with him enough to give us half of our money back. It really is shocking!

I think what this post needs is more bold, italic and underlined words
