Going to be fun when we draw them in the Champions League.
It’s weird that EUFA rules allow on loan players to play against your parent club, unless otherwise written into the loan deal. Knowing our luck he’ll have a worldie and help knock us out

We could insert a clause to limit this though. No information on whether that is the case, at least not yet.

Maybe it's us who are weird in not allowing loaned players to play against their parent club . It's allowed in Italy and UEFA allow loaned players to play if the loaning club do not object in UEFA competitions, be interesting to see if Spurs have barred Tanguy from playing against us in CL if we get Napoli.
Looks like it might also be allowed in The Netherlands unless rules have changed , found this little gem..

Jan Vertonghen

Prior to establishing himself at Ajax, Vertonghen was sent on loan to Eredivisie strugglers RKC Waalwijk in the 2006-07 season.
While the defender would ultimately suffer relegation with the side, he also had a major say in the title race – sadly, for Ajax, it came at their expense.
With four matches of the campaign remaining, Vertonghen scored as Ajax were held to a 2-2 draw at Waalwijk.

The Belgian’s parent club would go on to finish second. On goal difference. By one goal. Oh, Jan.

Didn't know this Jan story! It was allowed in the Premier League until 2004 when Lua Lua scored a late equaliser for Portsmouth against his parent club Newcastle, which sparked the rule change. Led to the famous Bobby Robson line "he's hurt us today".

My take is we've got Napoli to try him out and baby sit him for a season and they're paying us a peppercorn rent.
The option fee is window dressing perhaps to mask how desperate we actually are to shift him out but Napoli won't pay the fee and he'll be back again next summer.
Not complaining by any means if they're paying his wages or even only some of his wages it's a result but mark my words he'll be back.

Not a single fat joke has been even vaguely amusing. That's part of the annoyance.
Zippy is on the troll here and everyone is biting, that in itself is the entertainment even if the jokes themselves arent, dont induldge it and the jokes would stop!

That said, i did laugh the first time someone referred to him as "Ndombelly" that one got me....
