FFS....

With the 9 subs (is that official now?) I thought he'd at least find a place on the bench. Each game he's left out I just get more and more frustrated to be honest and it's more so because we lack an incredible amount of creativity in the middle as it is.

He easily has the attributes to do for us what Pogba did for United today.

The guy is stealing a living?

For me, if a players reaction to being left out of the squad is that he wants away then he's not got what it takes to make it here.

Get rid.

He may well end up not in the squad but has anyone other than that Spursitk account actually confirmed this?

All you have to do is compare nDombele to Dembele, one is a professional who served the club immensely well, the other when compared is an expensive fraud.

Don't know why people were expecting Tanguy in the squad seeing as he has been in none of the pre-season ones so far.

I think it's clear that they dont think he is ready to be around the team atm. That could be a fitness issue, it could be that he had time off for his kids birth and came back overweight? or it could be that hes unsure if he wants to stay at the club and his family bring up a child in England.

Whatever it is, we can see already imo that Nuno realises we cant carry anyone at the moment. Results are vital and only those committed to the cause are wanted around the team. He's trying to build a spirit and a togetherness in a squad that was absolute poison towards the end under Jose (see Hugo interview!) You cant do that with those that have questions. If he's out of the squad then personally its what I expected.
I'm not going to sit here and slate him without knowing the truth, when he played last season I thought he was good and beginning to settle. Hes about to have his 4th manager in 2 years, just trust the management to do whats best for spurs. There is a huge company line atm that we are Spurs "a great club" and that we shouldnt need to convince players to want to stay or come to the club as we are a great club. I feel were sick to death of being pissed around by players from the poch era that have reached the end of their cycle with us etc and realise its time to build a new team.

I just want to see a team that gets spurs fans together like we were two years ago and not fragmented like this

People really have it out for Tanguy

Probably, although I wouldn't say it's all unjustified. He's our record signing and should really be taking the league by storm. Instead we haven't seen him all pre-season and are being fed rumours that his fitness isn't up to the desired level and that there are attitude problems.

Given all the stories that have come out in previous summers, I'm not going to discount all of those rumours and neither are a lot of others. I'll draw the line at name calling, but I will say that I'm starting to get fed up with a professional athlete who seemingly will never fulfil his potential.

That is just so out of context. After that he has said that he does not want to be here anymore. I never said that Aurier has had bad manners or acted bad did I ? but when you state openly that you want out, you need to go in my opinion.

Would you rather he did a Kane and lied? Anyway I'm being facetious, I just think your first statement was poorly worded

I'm sure we will seem him play this upcoming Thursday. Along with a few others who are getting back to fitness. I do not expect him in the squad. But nor to I expect Romero or Gil in the starting XI, or potentially even in the squad for tomorrow, as they're getting up to speed. Like Tanguy, I'm sure they'll feature on Thursday.

It's a shame that this signing hasn't lived up to it's potential. Sadly for all parties it really is starting to look like a bust now. And if it's possible that NES has no belief in him, then that's that. Try to find him a new home. Which is easier said than done, given his massive wages. Bit of an all round mess, really.

That Hades thing about Ndombele and Kane is someone making an educated guess. Ndombele hasn't featured all pre season and Kane only got training with the squad yesterday. Even taking out the City nonsense he wouldn't be up to speed.

Let’s be honest. This guy is stealing a living. His supporters are delusional and in denial if they think he’s going to turn it around. We need to get rid ASAP, be it via loans or some sort of swap deal.

He’s another Mesut Ozil. Talented but lazy.

I think this is it in a nutshell….he has all the ability but I think he’s severely lacking in the mental application, for whatever reason. I just don’t think he’s able to turn it around. Getting shot would be best for both parties….there is definitely a player in there, just not for us, unfortunately……

I think they’ve got him fit. I think what they haven’t got him to do is play, and by play I mean be 100% committed, in specific patterns in and out of possession.
