Juventus and Real Madrid were interested I believe. But unsure on if they actively pursued him.Who was in for him besides us?

The litmus test is, do we look even slightly good when he plays?
The answer is no.
Might come good but as we all know it’s not about talent, so unless he starts giving a fuck, not much will change.
The way Mou sets up team is really not suitable for him. At this time, he seems lazy defensively and off the ball, but every time he was subbed on to chase the scoreline he oozes class with every touch he gets. And already got involved in numbers, like assist to Son vs City. He would perfectly fit the way Poch wanted us to play, and I hope Mou will also utilise him, because now we are giving up midfield vs everyone. I still think he's a gem and it was briliant transfer.The litmus test is, do we look even slightly good when he plays?

Personally I wasn’t impressed with him under Poch either.The way Mou sets up team is really not suitable for him.

Most of the greatest players we have had over the past decade were not great or even good in their first season.Personally I wasn’t impressed with him under Poch either.
I’ve seen flashes of stuff and he has talent but so far I cannot in any way call it a good transfer.
Might come good, might not, it really is that simple from what I can see.
I’d give him time but I wouldn’t really batter an eyelid if he moved on and we got someone else in that doesn’t need all this specialist treatment straight away.
So tired of these kinds of players.
Look I didn’t see anyone saying the same about Nkoudou, Njie, Janssen, Sissoko, Stambouli or evening Moura to be honest.Most of the greatest players we have had over the past decade were not great or even good in their first season.
Most of them never showed fuck all, Ndombele has contributed to goals already and showed flashes of a top class player.Look I didn’t see anyone saying the same about Nkoudou, Njie, Janssen, Sissoko, Stambouli or evening Moura to be honest.
I’m pretty tired of it to be honest.
No one looks good in Mourinho’s ancient tactics.The way Mou sets up team is really not suitable for him.

Nkoudou played 323 minutes in all competitions in his first season.Most of them never showed fuck all, Ndombele has contributed to goals already and showed flashes of a top class player.
I’m not gonna excuse his fitness because he needs to do much better, but the talent is clearly there unlike most of the other names on that list.

Ndombele is already on 1200 and the season isn’t over.
Im sick of people sitting here justifying writing off certain players who were not given a chance while blindly defending others because they may or may not come good in two years.
I've said this from day 1.maybe he should be tried in an advanced role..maybe a number 10 since he is amazing once he is on the ball and he has shown that he can strike the ball quite well
He simply doesnt have the fitness or the work rate to be in the midfield
Lo Celso, Winks and Sissoko in the midfield (start trying Skipp too ?)
Mourinho did say this though:
“I asked Mourinho a couple of days ago why after six months of the season, following a full pre-season, he still couldn’t rely on Ndombele to play 90 minutes and he simply said it was all the niggling little injuries that had messed up his fitness."
Tanguy has had hip, hamstring and groin injuries in the short space of time he's been with us. That combined with a new league and new speed to adjust to could easily act as a bigger hinderance to his progression both during games and during training than we know. Difficult to say without knowing the extent of it all.
