Just wondering what happened to him? He seems to have disapeared. Has anyone got any info? I was looking forward to seeing him being used after a good showing in pre season. Didnt do any wrong against the mighty Colchester either.

Who would he be playing over?

Not saying he is better than holistically Jan or Toby, but both have been poor and undeserving of their places this season.

Sanchez and Foyth are both ahead in the pecking order. I don’t expect to see Tanganga this season unless we start getting massive injuries at the back

Toby, outside of the Bayern game, has been fantastic all season.

In my opinion Toby has been awful all season. Same as most of our defence. I'm not saying Tanganga should of replaced him but Toby would be nowhere near the team if was my choice. Apart from his first season and upto the injury against teal Madrid a couple seasons ago tobys time with us has been seriously overrated. I think it speaks volumes that he was available for cheap this summer gone and no one came in for him. Same as eriksen. Overrated.

Blimey doesn’t say a lot for the rest of them. Must of been absolutely horrific!

Seriously he’s been nowhere near fantastic in any single game this season let alone all of them except Bayern!!

I think Tanganga has had an injury, maybe one of the youth followers could confirm?

I think he may have shot up to next in line/competing with Foyth before that. Good player.

I think by the end of the season he'll be one of the four
We'll sell Toby, Jan will sign a new contract and it will be Jan, Foyth, Sanchez and Tanganga.

He was training with the first team last week before the Liverpool match.

Toby has played 3 or 4 good games this season, but he has been completely uninterested and woeful in the rest. He's coasting like Eriksen.

I was seriously impressed by Tangangas incisive forward passing throughout pre season, he passed like the Toby of old on many occasions. For someone so young to do that from Centre half against Juve, Bayern etc showed great character and confidence.

He's on the Poch " train him with the 1st team, let him get roughly 30 minutes of cumulative football a season for the next 3 years and then sell" development plan.
