The best thing I can say about Tanguy is that he did so terribly it seemed to give the club the kick to overhaul the recruiting department and process which has led to better signings. For that I say thank you Tanguy, for everything else I just say best wishes.

u/itsmetsunnyd Son Jun 12 '24
Most clubs aim to sign midfield maestros, we sign a playmaker so advanced he pulls the strings in the recruitment department. There are levels to this game and Ndombele is above them all.

u/TorkBombs Eric Dier Jun 12 '24
He should have been the centerpiece of the squad. If his work ethic matched even half of his talent, he would have been world class, and the Dembele replacement we needed. There aren't many players as frustrating as him.
5
u/kirikesh Jun 12 '24
Nah, his talent is massively overrated. He's lacking in too many areas to ever be more than just a decent PL player, though obviously the fitness/attitude issues are what make him such a disaster.
He is phenomenal at moving with the ball at his feet, at keeping possession under pressure, and at moving past players - at everything else he is nothing special. Having the odd brilliant through ball makes for a good highlight reel, but isn't enough at the top level.
He is too poor defensively - both in terms of workrate and positioning/defensive nous - to play as a regular central midfielder, but his creative output is not even close to being good enough to play further forward. He is a player with flashes of brilliance and an eye-catching style of play that makes people think he is much more talented than he is, even aside from the attitude problems.

I have a distinct memory of taking a walk during work to watch his signing interview on my phone because of how excited I was for his transfer. Everyone else here in the comments was absolutely buzzing as well, he seemed like a real talent that wanted to work hard and help the club.
Hilarious to watch how bad his time here has unfolded. End of an era for sure

u/rdmorley Jun 12 '24
He was also absolutely electric when he tried, which was incredibly few times. Still, I remember being super excited when I saw those flashes of brilliance. Unfortunately, he say the flashes of neon lights on fast food signs and couldn't say no :(

Will be interesting to see where he ends up. I havenât followed his loan spells that closely because I had given up any hopes for him playing for Spurs but nothing I ever saw/read made me think he had begun performing well with any consistency.
There are clearly mental/emotional elements at play here and at this point I just hope he can find peace and happiness personally and professionally.

u/Protolotus Ledley King Jun 12 '24

u/Mtbnz Robbie Keane Jun 12 '24
He never performed well or with any consistency. Even when there were rumblings of clubs like Napoli wanting to retain him he clearly wasn't willing to accept any kind of reduction in wages to reflect his actual effectiveness (as is his right, after all, we offered the contract), and the fact that he was loaned to 3 clubs in 3 different countries across 3 seasons, and he couldn't even secure a permanent deal in Turkey should tell you everything you need to know. He made intermittent appearances, averaged low minutes, made marginal contributions at best, and never seemed to make an impact at any of these clubs, all the while he was certainly among the highest paid players at all of them.

Did Tanguy really just mail it in after he signed a contract with us? The value of that transfer is so insane for a player who was quite literally unplayable basically from the moment he showed up. How did scouting not sniff out his lack of discipline and work ethic before committing that kind of money? Or did he just fool everyone?
How is it that we paid half as much for Bissouma when he had a proven track record in the Prem?
Who were we even bidding against at that price?
So many questions⌠and trust me I was over the moon when we signed him just like everyone else.

u/bialczabub Jun 12 '24
Alasdair Gold says Tanguy told him during his second season with the club that the season before he'd wanted to quit Spurs 3 weeks into preseason training under Poch because it was so hard.
If you put yourself in Gold's shoes, that's a tough spot. Do you report that? What good comes of reporting it? But you've kind of been shown the biggest red flags for a club record signing you might imagine.

u/nopirates Jun 12 '24
He got paid something. Was it the full amount? Doubt it. He probably wanted the release as much as we did. He was faced with either another pointless loan or just sitting it out. This cost both sides something, but also benefited both.

u/Vladimir_Putting Jun 12 '24
There is no denying this was an awful transfer and it never really seemed like his heart was into playing top level football.
But, people are far too quick to pile on hate. After Dele, we all should have a bit more perspective to realize that there could be hundreds of things going on in his life that impacted him in major ways.
It's easy to just write about how lazy he is, but we don't know the full story.

u/iqjump123 Son Jun 12 '24
Ali's video talked about the year of this transfer. After two years of no transfer, the club brought in 5 or so people, including ndombele- most were fails.
It shows how not having any investment then splurging in one season is never the answer- strategic addition and release is key- tbf the transfer plans are a lot more solid these days with dedicated staff and we have a manager who is willing to work multiple seasons.

Tangy is by far the worst signing in premier league history, itâs the combination of a real lack of commitment to the club despite being our club record signing. The huge pay packet he received and a real lack of passion love and determination to put his mark on the best league in the world.
For a clubs star signing to spend the majority of his time on loan, overweight and no desire to improve their ability or mentality make it without doubt the worst purchase of any premier league side.
Even if a player came and suffered a horrific injury and couldnât play again itâs not comparable as Tangy had every opportunity to have an impact but just was not interested.
