Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
A look at the club from the outside?
He signed for Spurs on the back of the club reaching - but losing - the Champions League final under then manager Pochettino (the man reportedly responsible for the club signing Tanguy)
After 10(?) games into the new season, Tottenham sacked 'Poch'
At that time, the honeymoon felt over. The wind had been taken out of the club, the players, the manager, the fans, after the disappointment in Madrid
Mourinho was appointed, playing Europa League football
Enter the era of the club when fans in their droves were switching off, rather than watching the team. Cast your mind back to that era for a moment
Mourinho was then sacked and former youth team player Mason was brought in to manage the remainder of the season
Mason departed and former Wolves manager Nuno took the helm, playing Europa Conference League football
By this point, the 'boiling piss levels' throughout the fan base were through the roof, often spilling out during games inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and onto the pitch
Spurs sack Nuno and appoint Conte
The Italian coach sends NDombele back to Lyon during the January transfer window
Tottenham start pre-season training, heading into the 22/23 season playing Champions League football once more
Tanguy returns from Lyon and begins pre-season training

PFA Young Player of the Year - Wikipedia
Now, look at this list and tell me which players at 19/20 who was better than Dele?
At 20 years old, Bale was a bit part player for Spurs who netted 3 goals in a season.
Dele netted more goals that Rooney @ 19 / 20 years old

Rooney for one was waaaaay better than Dele at any age. Goals are great but not the entire picture at all.
Rooney at 17/18 could carry a team on his back and was one of the most exciting, explosive players in the league.
Dele was a second striker who had moments & a knack for popping up in good positions. Never did he look as talented as someone like Rooney at all.
Rooney at 19 was going to Euro 2004 & was already England’s main man and making teams look silly. He looked like he’d become the best player on the planet.
Tanguy N,domdele
I've still got a feeling he's gonna stay.... at least til Jan! Then we'll see...
We spent £60m on a player who couldn’t make a dent against Mura and Morecambe. Tom Huddlestone miles better than this fraud.
If he stays it will be because nobody came for him, like last summer. There isn’t room on our squad list for him. He won’t make the cut. We already have too many foreign players. No chance Conte includes him.
I called him a troll and called Ndombele lazy, wait until he finds out I'm black
This thread is VERY illuminating.
Being called "a troll" by posters who have no qualms mentioning fried chicken, a gorilla + lazy in regards to a black footballer.
No-one called him a gorilla, you lying POS.
I remember when I was at highschool in the USA and a guest lecturer at assembly told us why watermelons were racist. I nearly pissed myself laughing. If a yank accuses you of racism over fried chicken, just ignore them. they lost all sense of proportion 20 years ago
It's remarkable how completely unfazed you are at continually being wrong, or misunderstanding. You have no shame. It's breathtaking.
You are the living, breathing epitome of the inherent truth in the expression, "quality over quantity."
Unplug, and introspect.
Black AND stupid.
I like you as a poster, but you could use losing this too-smart-for-you, smug attitude.
And no, I didn't call you, specifically, blinkered. It was a general statement. Nor did I preach. I just stated my approach to how I think about people. But sure, you can parse my words any way you want to support your conclusion about what I said, in spite of the fact that I already explained what I meant. Someone as smart as you shouldn't need to resort to that, though. It loses you arguments that you would otherwise win.

Someone said about eating a Gorilla burger.
No one called him a gorilla.
You waving race cards about here is a new level of wankery...... Shame on you.
