You sure Poch said that? I can't find any quotes when I googled it. Also Ndombele Started (and finished) his first 2 games under Poch, there is no way Poch plays him (especially for a full 90) if he thinks he is unfit and overweight.

Franck Kessie would be ideal in that midfield and by the way Mr Levy, he wouldn’t cost a fortune. I’m sure Conte and Paratici will be all over this one
Your first para is nonsense - 'there have been games' actually refers to the all but about 10 PL games which he has completed 90 minutes - the vast majority of other games he has not.
I will leave you to search back to the time of his first pre-season and start of first season when Poch referred to him turning up over weight - and reasons why Poch took him off in most of games Ndomble played under Poch.
Like many players Ndombele can play in a low intensity game environment - same as Sergei Rebrov who with his partner Shevchenko destroyed many top teams in CL - however Rebrov could not perform for Spurs and Shevchenko was a flop for Chelsea, In Rebrov's case, his CL form might be explained by him only playing about 4 Ukrainean league games inn a season so he was always fit, rested and in peak condition to play CL games and usually with a complete rest (other than training) before the next CL game. Likewise Ndombele can easily play low intensity French league games and one off high intensity games against the likes of Mancity - but not a string of high intensity PL games. If really pushed I'm sure Ndombele could - but after 2 years of failing to play in multiple successive high intensity PL games its clear that he is not.
And it should also be clear that a player who cannot perform regularly cannot be carried forever - particularly when we also have to carry Lo Celso who equally underperforms in a similar midfield position.
Yup perfectly sure.
And you don't say that after those 2 games Poch yanked Ndombele off continually - not the sort of treatment you'd expect from someone who had just bought Spurs most expensive player, you'd expect Poch to have wanted to keep Ndombele on and for him to dominate midfield. The fact that Poch hauls him off continually (as successive managers have done) should tell you something, even if you don;t want to hear it.
Meh. Tap-in and penalty merchant.
Hahaha.... How crap was that roll on the floor goal celebration! :contelol:
How can we sell Dele and Alli? Last I checked it's the same person.
I think he thought briefly of doing a fancy double forward somersault with pike but pulled out of it at the last minute.
That made me warm to him. It's like when your halfway through a wave to someone and you suddenly realise it isn't who you thought so you pull out and go for a self-conscious ear scratch instead

their doing it again. That hate speech where sensible people who can not have watched him say the name Tarkowski and Spurs and transfer!!!. The man's a complete donkey its like changing Eric Dire for Eric Dire. Even Gary to a look and picked the useless Goddfrey over him. He is worse than useless. At long last we are being linked to Kessie and Vlahovic and people want us dragged back to Will Hughes level cloggers.In terms of transfer fees you can probably get the first 4 for 70-80m
Romanogli: 10m
Pau Torres: 50-60m
Brozovic: 10-15m
Kessie: Free
Vlahovic will be the pricey one - 70-80m I'd guess.
Bring in Romangoli and Brozovic in Jan and get Kessie on a pre contract for the summer.
Then go all out for Torres and Vlahovic in the summer.
Like spurs9 , I googled and couldn't find, so either you back up your claim, or own up to it being bollocks. And we both know you've got form for this don't we.
Ligue 1 isn't particularly "low intensity". And neither is playing against the likes of ManC and a much stronger Barcelona in the Champions League.
More bollocks.
Not really sure what Rebrov in 2001 has to do with Ndombele in 2021, and IMO Rebrov was an intelligent little football who was wasted on a shit manager like Hoddle who preferred Gary Doherty up front.
but for the record he played out of 30 games seasons in the Ukrainian league:
99-00 - 20 games
98-99 - 22
97-98 - 29
96-97 - 30
I think this much layering of bollocks is called a bollocks lamination.
Again, in your efforts to be a fucking wise acre you are missing my point. An important point.
None of our players have performed well in the last 3 years. This isn't all about those players, especially when we have good evidence of them performing well regularly prior to us signing them. We've had 4 managers in two years. One of them totally scapegoated Ndombele publicly. Hardly conducive.
What I have said is, with regards to a player we know has talent and has performed well, consistently previously, it might benefit him to be be used consistently in a similar way to that (ie as an 8 in a CM3 - as we know Conte uses a CM3 at times) in a team that is actually fucking coached properly - to work cohesively as a team - instead of the mish mash of garbage coaching and tactical application we've had from the last 4 coaches in the last two years.
I also said, I accept It might not. And if that's the case then so be it. We move him on.
Pau Torres reportedly turned us down in th summer. I don’t think things will be different in Januare.
Westham were quoted stupid money in the summer
Honestly, his form started going to shit as soon as he dropped "Alli".
And speaking to France Football, Messi admitted: "Ligue 1 is a league which is much more physical than LaLiga."
"Here, the teams seem more powerful to me and the matches are very close, with few spaces."
Messi says Ligue 1 is more physical than La Liga as wait for league goal goes on
LIONEL MESSI says Ligue 1 is more physical and it’s harder to find space compared to La Liga. The comments come with the PSG summer signing still yet to find the back of the net in the league…
