Ndombeles got all the tools. He’s just got to put it all together for an entire season. We say 1/3 of a season where he was phenomenal and but he struggled to keep form.
probably the same fucking no chalance .. but you can't compare them because Pirlo was the main playmaker and protected by 2 mid def. Tanguy is more a 8 in a team who keep the ball .
Why not get in 9 outfield players to build the whole team around this guy who 3 different managers couldn't get a tune out of and who Sissoko was considered more useful for in the French squad?
He has been a complete flop at Spurs and I have zero confidence he will get any better.

if he was a flop , i can't imagine your opinions about the others flop in this team ...
Could he have been better, sure. Could the whole team have been better? Sure.
Calling our best midfielder a flop is harsh though…
Its not harsh, you pay £60m and you expect a top player. For the money we spent, he has been a flop. We could have got a much better player with that money.
Hopefully this season he will finally reach his potential, he cannot hide behind Mourinho‘s toxic reputation anymore. Let’s not forget that he was completely left out of the squad by Mason for the last game of the season. He has got to shape up.
Agreed. It’s a shame because he looks incredibly gifted and has genuine flair/creativity. Unfortunately, at times he’s also looked like a fat lazy cunt with a shite attitude.
Hopefully he pulls his finger out, no one wants to see potential like his go to waste.
My worry with him is that he doesn’t take football that seriously. A serious player would be fucking fuming that he didn’t go to the Euros while a donkey like Sissoko did. Is he that bothered? Hard to tell with him because he never speaks up. Two years into his career here and he hasn’t really shown any character or built a rapport with the fans.
Most new signings try to endear themselves by working very hard on the pitch, but he hasn’t done that. I just don’t get the feeling that he really cares about succeeding here, or in the game in general. He seems happy to just do the odd dribble and collect his salary.

£53.8m rising to £62.8m maximum, but I honestly doubt he has too many incentives in his contract.
If we keep signing players with attitudes like his and hanging on to them for far too long, we're only going to get worse as a side.

That a 29 year old novice with lingering CTE did about as well, if not slightly better than that egotistical washed up cunt, is not a good defence of said egotistical washed up cunt pocketing £15mil a year.
The squad has issues but nowhere near as big as the lack of coaching it received made it out to be.
The guy was BEYOND TERRIBLE and he shouldn’t have been hired in the first place.
Many players will improve just because Nuno is competent even though I hate his style.
Or 90 minutes. He’s only completed 90 minutes with us 9 times!
That’s utterly pathetic.
There have been quite a few tweets from the club but none of them with him out of breath. Must have been the first 2 minutes of training!
Compare to Dele's twitter chatter about wanting to kick on.... Not very encouraging is it.
If a 3rd manager can't get a tune from him, then it's time to write him off. But I'd give him this season to prove himself, one way or another. Same for Lo Celso.
