I am a very insecure young man yesDo you need one

Pound for pound our worst signing for many a year £55+ million and £200 grand a week yet some of you fucking idiots want to give him more time. No wonder Harry is thinking about moving on when this disgrace of an athlete is on the same wage has him. Fucking criminal
You are a good poster and I like you.This is getting very annoying but it's so interesting how some of your minds work.
So Tanguy is a guy who has made it through youth football, and then in Ligue 1 (call it a farmer's league but it's still producing some of the best players in the world) and performed very well in the champions league against elite opposition. He is not only passing and dribbling well but playing good defensively.
He gets a big move to what's considered the best league in the world. He's 23 with his best years ahead of him.
Now a whole bunch of retards genuinely believe Tanguy has suddenly adopted a new mentality. Something like: "Oh nice I've got my contract. I'm going to relax now. No need to develop any further. I hit and past my peak at Lyon last year aged 22. And oh yeah I realised that it turns out that I actually don't really like running lol!"
Maybe.. just maybe the following factors may play a part-
New league. Pace of the prem is much different. Not easy to adapt. There have been numerous players who have taken a season to settle.
New country. New settings. New language. Away from friends and family (or at least some). Not easy.
New teammates. Takes a while to get on the same page. Now consider we are a team paying the price for severely underinvesting for years. Our squad has detoriated and now we're relying on a new signing to undo a whole load of shit and clean up mess made by the pricks at the top.
Injuries. Adjusting to a new faster league is harder when you suffer injuries. Try building fitness when injured. Try doing that when you're rushed back and your manager is throwing you under the bus for knowing your own damn body and limits.
New manager. New instructions. Or lack of. Doesn't help when he's a cunt who deflects blame. Point to his success and I will point out how long ago it was, how much money it took and also tales of Salah/KdB who are 2 of the best prem players EVER.
God forbid you actual brain dead fucks ever have to analyse anything beyond the surface.
And even considering all thing, Tanguy has done some lovely stuff for us. Few goals and assists. Sexy turns and dribbles. If you have zero hope you are blind. Comparisons to previous "flops" fail because even now Tanguy is putting up crazy numbers (best CM dribbler in Europe ffs).
I seriously don't get why from a footballing perspective any fan would want him sold. Technically the things he does are beautiful. Why the fuck would you not root for him? Makes me think you twats not only know nothing about actual football but don't care for it. Like your here for the fun tribal shit, social aspect, Spurs brotherhood etc. We have a player with a wizard abilities. Aesthetically when on song it is a delight. Why would you want some other cunting team to enjoy that delight and not us?
It's much easier to learn fitness than technical ability. Remember how Lamela reinvented himself? He did it so well most of us have forgotten that he was a serie A lightweight luxury player type winger who then became our best presser under Poch.
Anyway stop being dumb guys.
I hear you bro.You are a good poster and I like you.
Most if not all Spurs fans know and appreciate the above points you have just made.
The main problem is his mentality, Jose pointed out that in the press. He may be an excellent player, atm he is luxury player the team can not accommodate. But I am one of who wants to give him time.

Yeah, if spurs sell nomdbele already and bring in a Mourinho type of midfielder and play hoofball for two more seasons with the dressing room continually getting worse, I may finally stop watching until levy and Enic leave.
In the present economic situation no club is going to offer an acceptable fee or match his current wages. We are stuck with him.Mourinho is not the forgiving type. He'll be out the door fast
