I'm sure some of the body language experts will find something wrong.
I know it's pre season Tanguy but is that the belly of a honed athlete. :)

Reckon Tanguy has the thighs of a track sprint cyclist.

He’s just walking from a car to a door. There’s really nothing more to it. People are acting like he’s been carried to the training ground on a chaise lounge, quaffing wine, and being hand fed grapes like the hedonism bot from futurama.

We all know he’s bone idle. But there’s no need to pillory the guy for how he gets out of his car.
I was expecting him to quickly throw out cones for himself and start doing shuttle runs tbh. Shit attitude

Ange turns Tanguy into a monster and 90% of this forum will need to eat a big ass piece of humble pie.

Let's see how he gets on under AP before jumping to any conclusions/insults.

Who really gives a fuck about it all...

Just wait and see how he goes in pre season and what the big man thinks of him...

Won't take long before coming obvious....
Yeah not really too much point speculating about Ndombele tbh.

Come the friendlies (or probably before then) we'll have a very clear idea whether he's in Ange's plans or if we're fishing for another loan.

The thing some people forget is he is OUR player and until his not we should get behind him as hard as it might b for some
Why get behind a player who disrespected his team mates and the fans and himself on his last appearance for us and for most of the whole time he’s been with us 🤷‍♂️ if it was like a one time thing fine but for me he’s lost too many strikes to want to get behind him anymore, just want rid.

That’s your opinion on one of our players. Doesn’t change the fact that his still our player and as long as his still our player we should get behind him regardless

Cheers bud. Looking at this you can tell that even with the new signings there’s still a lot of work to do… CBs and maybe AMs being the most obvious.

Having read all of the hate I just watched the Ndombele car vid and...it's just a bloke getting out of a car in a laid back fashion. If it was Bissouma or Porro no-one would've given two fucks.

Like, hate the guy all you want for his laziness on the pitch, but the overreaction to man-getting-out-of-car is just plain weird.
I'm going to judge him on the pitch
But..... it's going take a lot persuading to convince me his worth keeping.

Fair play if he does but no one needs to eat humble pie. He’s shown the club and supporters a complete lack of respect for the last four years. Let’s hope he can repay us a bit.

Because he's soo cool, he can get away with it in summer.

My perspective is that everyone gets a blank slate. Any ball player must have been drained by nuno/Jose and Antonio ball
I'd love nothing more than for his to turn his career around, I just can't see it happening at all.
Maybe Ange can get through to him but he just doesn't seem to have the mentality and drive to push on.
It feels like he thinks he should be able to breeze through on skill alone, which he undoubtedly has in spades, he just strikes me as a bit of a wuss.

It's a sweeping statement but he makes me think of that kid at school who had all the skills and tricks but as soon as he got clattered, took his ball and stormed off.
Wants to play for fun, not really take it seriously and put in the effort required.

It's a shame but we've got plenty of players, probably with less talent, who are more willing to put the effort in to try to earn a place under Ange, so I think Tanguy won't be around for long.

Ironically, your overarching message here is exactly why I’ve said we will eat that humble pie. It’s extremely hyperbolic to say he’s shown a complete lack of respect for 4 years.

That debate has been done to death though and we don’t need to revisit it, but there’s no need to exaggerate. He showed a complete lack of professionalism during one game of football, the rest of his time may have been very average with glimpses but that’s about as bad as one could say about his time with us. The two loans are irrelevant, albeit he is coming back with a winner’s medal.

Like I said, let’s see how he fairs under AP during preseason and the season ahead if he decides to keep him. He may prove to be useful.
