Japhet Tanganga kommt auf Leihbasis zum FCA | FC Augsburg
Der FC Augsburg und der englische Premier-League-Klub Tottenham Hotspur haben sich auf eine Leihe des Abwehrspielers Japhet Tanganga verständigt.

“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to play for FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga. The Bundesliga now enjoys a very good reputation in England, which is why more and more players from the Premier League are taking this route. Now I want to help the FCA achieve its goals and prove myself in an environment that is new to me,” says Japhet Tanganga.
“Japhet is a very well-trained and flexible defender who is characterized by his physicality and strength in duels. With Japhet, our team gains a player with experience at the highest level who will continue to develop at FCA. “With his qualities, he will give our team more defensive options,” says FCA sporting director Marinko Jurendic.
so we announced obligation and they announced option?
yeah not sure why, it said in the Augsburg statement that "Both clubs have agreed not to disclose the modalities", so we probably wont find out until next summer.
Amazing it took this long to get him a loan. Levy really needs to think how badly he screwed up this guys development by not getting him regular first team football at an earlier stage. He coulda been a HG defensive option for us for years, but instead he’s now looking at a lower league and lower career ceiling.
I frigging hate how Levy has handled our youth. Fucking disaster.

Augsburg is more his level. I hope he stays healthy and can prove valuable to them.
Spurs said conditional obligation - so likely an option which becomes an obligation only if Japh hits certain targets (eg 75% of games played)
It was reported that it's if Augsburg stays up OR if he hits an unknown appearances threshold.
I'm interested to see how he does there, and indeed where he plays.
No-nonsense defensively minded fullback always struck me as his highest calling.
Agreed but substitute 'coaches' for Levy
Poch ignored Tanganga other than giving him a couple of pre-season games. And that's not dissimilar to other youngsters treatment. And refused to loan out youngsters.
Mourhino gave Tangaga his debut and a few other starts, but no run of games.
Conte not only ignored youth but interrupted youth training sessions,
Its clear that the youth development should be under control of a DoF not a coach unless coach wants to actually play youngsters
I think CB - he played LCB or RCB throughout youth , never FB. Aggressive CB with decent pace, slightly short as a CB at just under 6 foot. .
Yeah, I just see that set of characteristics playing more strongly where he has more mobility out wide.
His best Tottenham performances were as a fullback. We'll see.
TBF I think he's a pretty versatile defender.
I think he can play either FB role and LCB or RCB, and it maybe that versatility hasn't actually helped and he needs to learn one role, but I'm sure if he manager is short of defenders Tanganga will always be an option -
I think and hope that the deal is if he plays a certain amount of games the deal becomes permanent.
Not in the Augsburg squad today but back in full training now after missing the start of the season with a knee injury and then falling off a bike
Just a friendly but Tanganga starting his first game for Augsburg today after being out with an injury. Hopefully can have a decent run in the team in the second half of the season like Winks did with Sampdoria last season

Is he starting up front?
Good luck to him, hope we get some cash for him because he will never make it here.
Team sheet is just in number order (apart from keeper), I think he did play in midfield though in a 5-3-2, came off at half time so prob not quite fit yet
I'd honestly forgotten he had existed.
They've got an obligation to buy haven't they?
Was it ever confirmed what fee was agreed?
