Ex-Spurs Player Tanguy Ndombele

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Don't care if I get a ton of dislikes, disagrees, or whatever the fuck they are. The sooner this half hearted, half arsed over-rated chancer is sold the better for everyone. Absolute disaster of a signing so far. Take your useless, cunty mates Sissoko and Aurier with you. Shit munchers, all three of 'em.
 
But his highest calling is breaking the defensive lines in the middle of the park and unleashing his passing range in a sudden scramble situation for the defense.

I agree but how likely is it that Ndombele hasn't flourished because he hasn't found the right tactical niche in our midfield, as I think you were arguing?

I think most of us hope there is a player in there and that our next manager can find him. But if it happens, I think it'll be more about his confidence and part of that is having a manager who believes in him fully and gives him license to play without too many tactical constraints. Of our past managers, I think of Jol or Redknapp as types who'd be better fits for him than the very disciplined Poch and defense-minded Mourinho.
 
Since it seems we are likely to have PEH and Ndombele as two starters in our MF I would look at going with a 4-3-3, or maybe a 4-1-2-3, system and bring in a player like Thiago (I love him so always use him as an example) to play in the middle, deeper than the other two to control things from the center and allow PEH to run around as needed and Ndombele to move up to the front 3 as needed. Similar to the role Frenkie De Jong played for Ten Hag at Ajax. It leaves us without a traditional DM but one lof the things that has driven me nuts is our lack of control of the ball in the MF, so bringing in someone who can dominate the ball in the middle, break the press with long balls over the top, dribbling past guys or short passes we would be better off.
This was supposed to be Winks :levylol::mourshock:

Anyway, I think you propose a good solution requiring a player that is very hard to find.

I wonder if a back three doesn't create a more forgiving structure for some of the pieces we've got. Victor Wanyama was able to be something of a PEH-type player as a nominal 6 in Poch's pressing 3-4-2-1 or whatever you want to call it.

Inzaghi's Lazio kinda-sorta plays like that.

The problem is that our non-Toby CBs suck ass, but decent CBs are easier to find than Thiago's.
 
No he isn't.

Incredible Sissoko gets to go and play with that lot. I wonder what they think of him in training - does everyone just laugh at him?
 
Yeah Kante, Pogba and Rabiot is a truly terrible midfield 3. Some of the shite you come out with...

A really compared to the defense and forwards I would say that is a poor group and that is 3 guys I notice you left out a few others.

The forward and defense groups are world class in starters and depth the MF isn’t. That is a fact.

but keep crying because of a personal issue you have.

He’s been a diabolical signing hasn’t he. Utter shite and so bloody over rated. Would happily sell him off and use that money to invest. I think GiO been a massive disappointment too. We have spent 120 mil on these guys. A complete joke.

Don't backtrack, own your nonsense!

You said that French midfield is terrible. So are those 3 terrible?

Yep I was willing to give both time but 2 years later we are right to be expecting more.

I'm not suggesting we get rid because our priority should be getting Winks and Sissoko out the door first and we would get nowhere near 60m for Ndombele now so may aswell give the new manager a shot with him.

Kante is great, Pogba can be good when he is motivated which is not nearly often enough and Rabiot is pretty meh for a team like France.

No backtrack here compared to the abundance of wealth they have everywhere else the midfield is terrible for France. The fact that you won’t mention the other guys but focus on 3 guys shows it as well. Not a chance the forward or defensive version of Sissoko gets into this squad.

I haven't given up on them just yet, but you can't spend what we did for Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sessegnon and get how little we've gotten through two years. Disastrous.
 
I hope he goes. Sick of seeing these cunts who call themselves “fans” mug him off every single fucking day because he’s not dominating 2-3 opposition midfielders. And muh 60m.

These muppets haven’t learned a single fucking lesson from the Rose, Son or Dembele situations.
