Mourinho went mad andbanned them from the training ground and sent him to train alone when he refused to warm down properly.

If true - which again has not been proven - Mourinho didnt punish him for what he wears - he punished him for refusing to warm down properly.

With regards what he wears - I dont believe it matters what anyones choice of clothing is - all that matters is his attitude in training and his attitude on the pitch (I am not saying ability - as clearly he has this in abundance). His attitude on the pitch if you wish to say it is because of his 'ghetto' looks / lifestyle - I think that it is a very much tainted view. I dont believe any of his issues are to do with that, every player is complex - Ravel Morrison and Michael Johnson for example all didnt make it - having been tipped for greatness - they both didnt fail for having a ghetto liefstyle. With NDombele there are many many factors which may mean he isnt performing - new league, new club, manager sacked, new language, pressure of living up to price tag, new lifestyle, new position, not being a guarateed first team performing - all this has a an affect mentally. Maybe rather than trying to suit you own narrative you should consider all the above as possible reasons.

Which still doesn’t make ME racist or racially insensitive- I believe based on the preponderance of evidence I’ve seen that this stereotype in this case is accurate...might be wrong in my conclusion but it being a stereotype doesn’t make it illegitimate discourse. Generalities must often be relied upon to make meaningful conversation

By saying it, in my book, it makes you extremely racially insensitive.

I think the fact you're using the stereotype to criticise an individual is a form of racism.

Feck it. I'll have a go.

I reckon he'll feature at some point v Sheffield United.

Almost certainly in those 3 games, we'll need him.

Modric could'nt play CM when he came to us so what did the manager do?

He bedded him in on the left because he knew and understood the dynamic such talents bring to a team.

Modric was playing CM for the Croatian national team before joining us. He just needed time to adjust to the PL

Yeah, but the original point was the wearing of hats layers etc this week in training (not by me by the way).

The fact in March is was 8 degrees explains the hats, snoods and shit.

Exactly, we had two games where we were starting from scratch, it makes sense that Jose would want to playa fairly similar system and keep from chopping and changing the midfield up, being that we a still havent quite found the role to fit Tanguy's full abilities it stands to reason that he wouldnt be thrown in for the return to work it out on the fly in two massive games where nobody knew what would happen.

Anything beyond that is the usual guesswork and projection, in this case there's some wild projection.

I fucking hope so. If he doesn't god knows what else people are going to talk about in here now his weight, fitness and clothing have been discussed.

 

[HedgieSpur]

I don't think anybody is clamouring for him to start and I also don't think it hurts to make players REALLY bust a gut to want to play. But as I said previously, I'd like to see him play as a 10 and start with 20 mins here and there and see how he gets on.

 

[cider spurs]

Yep.

Clearly these next few games coming thick and fast, will either eradicate some fears, or add fuel to the speculation regarding his supposed fallout, refusal to play, we're selling etc.
.
I'll go with the hope to see him utilised in the very near future as rotation becomes crucial given quick turnaround of fixtures.

Yeah it’s only the TR forum where that’s a no no.

Though they’ll still be received with derision I imagine ?
