Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

[Spurrific]

If I cant read then I'd do well to write so many posts on the subject of us being conned.

Owen Jones called, he wants his virtue-signalling back.

Sick of this bullying, you just know you'll get the majority of the support in this clash of the juggernauts because this thread is basically a collection of gammons sulking. I'm the only one brave enough to stand up to this shit

Not sure Klopp would agree. The foundation of that team is a pretty average but incredibly fit midfield.

I mean that you can improve fitness but you cant magic ability out of nowhere.

I think you are doing them a massive disservice by branding their midfield as "pretty average". We wanted Wijnaldum when he went to Liverpool from Newcastle, Fabinho has turned into a leading holding midfielder, and Jordan effing Henderson is a frontrunner as the premier league player of the year. Yes they are incredibly fit, but come on now they are a good deal better than "pretty average"

Astounding how you would refer to yourself as a Juggernaut. The measure of it.

All in good nature. Ever since @Spurrific turned 18 I vowed I'd treat him with respect.

Seems that teams are targeting Ndombele, thinking he is not up to the rough stuff. He went down a few times in the 1st half under strong tackles/fouls against Chelsea. I would expect the same for a while as he is not currently handling it well.
I would hope that himself and the rest of the team stick up for him when he gets targeted and show some aggression back. Would love to see him react to a strong tackle by instead of rolling around on the floor, by getting up quickly and getting in their faces and start a pushing shoving match and getting your own back later.
If Ndombele doesn’t like these rough tactics towards him which he clearly doesn’t, who would?
This is the best way to make it stop imo and get the best out of a great talent

 

[slartibartfast]

I do not think moving good players out of position to accommodate him can be a good move. He was bought to shore up the CM. Lo Celso is full of ideas going forward. Why would we move him back to hide Ndombele's shortcomings?

Not only that but arent we struggling to score goals and LoCelso scored a shit load last season? If LoCelso plays he needs to be forward where he can score.
Ndombele has to play if he is fit. Who with is another matter.

Why you always stereotyping us poor rosacea suffering bastards

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Disagree. I think Ndombele is a lot better than Bruno. Even right now, with all the difficulties he's having with fitness and adaptation

OK. I think you'd struggle to find many objective fans that would agree with that.

I think the flashes Ndombele have shown are as good as anyone I've seen at Spurs. Genuinely, anyone. His talent is off the charts.

But that's what they are - flashes.

In time I think his ceiling is higher.

But Bruno already looks like a really good, very complete player

Don't want to add to the bullying, just wanted to mention i saw Tanguy in Enfield McDonalds earlier with 5 Big Macs and a large Diet Coke.

Good saving on calories with the Diet Coke i thought, well played.

Massive game from him on Sunday would be great

I hope he has an appetite for it. We need him. He’s a goal threat as we’ve seen this season and need goals badly.

 

[nailsy]

These are fine words but how would you feel if you spent £56m on something that didn't start ?
How many times do we have to sign a player who looked good in France?

Three out of the last five Premier League Player of the Year winners have been signed from French teams - Hazard, Kante & Mahrez. People look down on the league, but there's a lot of talent there.

He also looked good in France versus Man City!

The people who Scouted NDombele really have let the club down as he is not a player for this season.. His fitness is way off and as a result we overpaid for him unless Levy has some serious restrictions on addons... Also positionally we needed a deeper player to replace Mousa Dembele but I think NDombele will be a box to box player to creatively replace Sissoko not a player who keeps to the ball and sets the tempo..

 

[SugarRay]

Maybe he’ll be an option next season? This one is done.

When other teams spend £100m on two midfielders, they get a tune out of at least one of them for at least half a season. We’ve done best part of that on Tanguy and Gio and had approx 5/6 good games out of a possible 50/60 odd so far. Incredible

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

He's the highest paid earner, him and Kane.

That's nice for him to have parity with one of our own/a living legend ?

 

[glacierSpurs]

I so wanted him to come good. But for me personally I feel he just doesn't come across as committed at all. Which is really a huge let down.

GLC on the other hand is putting in the shifts every time
