Ex-Spurs Player Tanguy Ndombele

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If he comes to fight and actually does it and convinces Conte. He's welcome. I don't believe it however. He's a lazy bastard that has come this far on talent, never had to fight for a place in the starting 11 . Now that he has to fight, he shows that has hasn't the brain for it, doesn't know how.

they'll know whether he actually cares or not within two minutes of his first session... conte will have asked for 50% (or what ever more) and his beep test wont lie (assuming the beep test is a football fitness test?)

50%???

LOL.... Pretty sure the pre-requisite is 100% effort.


He's already been seen dragging at the back in jogging drills and saying he "won't put any pressure on" himself.

"I won't put pressure on myself"

My reply would be "when was the last time you put pressure on yourself?"

Fucking joker.

Erm, if I buy a sports car and it conks out halfway down the road, I think I'd be pretty fucked off.

The analogy sucks. Tanguy's a professional athlete, we paid a premium for the silky stuff but the basics (like running round for 90 minutes like everyone else manages) are expected of conference league players for god sake.

There's a whole bunch of creative types out there in football, all of them seem to manage to play past the 60 minute mark consistently. The fact he can't manage that should be a source of great embarrassment to him as a professional.

The idea that a player being talented means he doesn't have to work is laughable. It's modern football, there are no passengers, unless you're Lionel Messi maybe .. and Tanguy might have talent but it's about a fraction of Leo's.

If someone like KDB can be a creative genius but also run himself in to the ground for 90 minutes every week, there's not a fucking chance Tanguy gets away with it because he can do a pirouette now and again .. total bollocks.
