Ex-Spurs Player Tanguy Ndombele

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Think we all need to realise as a club Ndombele joined and has had 4 managers now in about 2 years. He joined a team that just lost champions league final. He was earmarked as more what we needed to get us over the line and I think the team has crumbled around him.

Had we been playing good football, he could've slotted in and we look at a player who is a key part of the team. .

Sorry mate you’re wrong. Yes he had 4 managers, but from the very outset he didn’t turn up. Poch couldn’t get him on the pitch. Most fans were slagging Poch off at the time but when TN finally made the team all we saw him do was amble around. We all made excuses for him but he has consistently managed to produce substandard performances throughout his time with us. He doesn’t give a shit. It’s as clear as day.

I'm just gonna concede the Ndombele argument. Happy to just be wrong about it, can be blinded I guess by players.
There's no doubt he is quality on the ball, he resembles Dembele a lot in being able to keep the ball, he's shown aswell he can have quality in attack.

The one negative he arrived with is the single negative you can't have in the Premier league and that's fitness. If he was fit, he probably starts every game. Mourinho got something from him but the team itself was so poor both with out negative tactics and single defensive errors. Ndombele hasnt made a single mistake that's led to a goal so he can't be painted with that brush.

Until I see him go to another club and do fuck all like he has with us Im not going to be convinced we couldn't have got what we needed from him.

Happy to be wrong and I'm bit commenting on him again until he either plays again for us or leaves
 
How can you NOT want to try and play professional football when given the chance?
It just doesn't make sense.... unless the guy/Tanguy really IS A bit thick!
 
Other teams have tried with him & failed . His problem seems to be a mental fitness more than physical

Agree, he's addicted to a junk laiden diet, IMO.

His diet is too rich in Uric and Arachidonic Acids, I'm certain. When you try intensive sports (like a Poch pre-season) with an excess of these types of acids, you are likely to be very sensitive to impacts.

You can see with Ndombele, that he would look up for it, then after a couple of runs where he gets 'tapped' on the ankles, he would just pull up half lame. Jog for 5-10mins and if tapped again virtually hold the white flag up.

That's the result of junk foods being percolated during exercise, IMO, then impacts into areas carrying this excess uric brings inflammation as the needles irritate/damage the tissues on impact/twist/turn whilst awaiting recovery, which the N6 heightens in perceptual pain to ensure the host is aware something is wrong (etc).

Pretty sure this is the nub of his problems, junk fuelled impact snowflake.

This

Mason fucked us bad - was hoping Nuno can rectify that

Nonsense.

Ndombele is a poor professional, who has not been any different since he arrived.

He is either not committed to the cause or has issues that are beyond what a manager should have to sort.

The guy has the talent to be in the top 3 PL midfielders, and certainly in the creative category, but he just drains energy and capital.

Move him on if possible because we might get 6 months of quality in 5 years at this rate.

they maybe beyond the manager to sort out, but the "Club" should be looking to sort them out
if the club was paying him £2K a week not a big probelm, but we are paying him £200K a week so since pre-season we have paid him £2M for what ? the club need to invest money into getting him/us mental health help

He has the best of everything you can possibly get and enough money to pay for whatever help he wants as well as fucking English lessons....has he? I doubt it.

He wants out, he can fucking go.
