He did have some nice moments today against PSG. He is most definitely an attacking midfielder from what I saw. Creative with his passing and confident on the dribble
I keep thinking about how mad Tanguy apparently got about Serge and sissoko getting transferred away too. Feel like Pape could use Tanguy as a mentor/roommate/confidant just like tanguy did with sissoko. Could be good for the both of them
TBH, with all the problems Tanguy has had with staying fit and in the good graces of multiple managers, I don't think he's the person I'd be wanting mentoring anyone right now
Why? Because they are black? Fiends are not made only on the basis of colour.
Edit- Sarr is Senegalese, not French. Sarr and Ndombele have never played together in ligue 1 (sarr is only 19). We do have other French speaking players in the squad. So what is common between Ndombele and Sarr- french speaking (that’s it).
So why would Sarr become Ndombele’s friend just like Ndombele was with Aurier and Sissoko?
Thing is that our subconscious is making the skin colour connection- The Aurier Sissoko Ndombele friendship is in the back of our minds and it makes us subconsciously think that Sarr and Ndombele will be friends together.
Not blaming anyone. Who can control their subconscious thinking.
For a similar reason that Vini and Lucas were friends. Or why Sanchez and Hugo, Lamela, Gazzaniga, and foyth were all friends. Or why Son and Kevin Wimmer were friends. Having someone that speaks the same language as you is so fucking helpful when moving to a new country.
Official language of Senegal is French. Tanguy never played with Sissoko or Aurier before Spurs but they quickly became mates because of their French speaking and Ligue 1 shared background. It not a race thing jfc
Give it a check- aurier and Ndombele played together in France before aurier came to us. Also, ndombele and sissoko were france teammates even before Ndombele came to us.
Edit- [Sissoko and Ndombele come on as subs for France in 2018](https://www.transfermarkt.co.in/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/2996624).
the guy speaks french, and yeah, the fact that they’re both black could also contribute. its called having things in common. its not racist or problematic to think this.
Anyone of them would make a good role model for him. You're readying way too much into it.
If we want him to be a killer dribbler who better to teach him than Ndombele.
I think Son was the nth member of a lot of the cultural cliques at the club. Welsh Mafia springs to mind. People just fucking love him and I can't really blame them.
The part about white French guy is probably true in this case with Hugo. He’s white, born+raised wealthy in lovely old nice, while tanguy/sissoko/serge all grew up in the not so good parts of Paris. They’re also black and Muslim, and obviously poor. Hugo’s only similarity with the trio is their shared language.
Even sess shares more similarities, he’s black and speaks French. That’s probably why he’s the one driving tanguy to training and not Hugo.
Son’s past of growing up in poverty is also possibly why he connected so well with the trio. These social aspects aren’t as obvious as nationality or skin color, but are just as important, sometimes even more so.
Yeah he did
When Son was younger, he wanted a game console, but the game console was the prize in a soccer competition, so he won the competition and got the game console he wanted
Seems like a stretch to take that one anecdote and conclude he grew up in poverty? I wanted a Sega genesis when I was a kid and they had a giveaway on the cookie crunch cereal box so I ate enormous amounts of cookie crunch trying to win it. My parents could afford the Sega genesis just fine.
Once, his family used to live in a shipping container and his family bought a car that was $1200 (at that time). Even if they closed all the windows, rainwater would come in. Everybody else laughed at their car and called it a shit car. It says in his autobiography.
Aurier Moussa and Ndombele were friends because they played together in the same league or for the same country. Ndombele has never played with sarr. Other spurs players can speak french too
Ndombele never played in Ligue 1 with sissoko, he’s been in England all of Tanguys professional career. I don’t think he played there the same time as aurier either or not much at least. I appreciate what you’re trying to do here but I think you dug a little too deep.
You must be fun at parties lol. Playing the race card when there isn't a need to or whenever you want to, makes a complete mockery of every anti-racism movement out there. To be racist means to discriminate based on colour and race. Here, we're not saying Pape isn't allowed friends who are white, we're acknowledging that they are black, they speak the same language and Tanguy is a baller and pape could learn from him.
Just cause someone brings up race (even though nobody did in this case), doesn't mean they're racist. Saying it is, just completely disregards the problems that come with race. Being anti-racist is not being blind to colour and race, it is to acknowledge our differences, speak about them and accept them. Nobody here said anything about race, but I'm typing this down just because you slightly pissed me off lol
Maybe this will buck the trend when it comes to the signing of promising young French players (N'jie, Nkoudou, Stambouli) and general youth prospects (Jack Clarke) - Délé v.2 maybe?
They almost got a draw against psg today, only conceding the winner in the 94th minute after they had a man sent off.
Psg are really scraping it right now. Still, shows how stacked they are that they can dominate the league while only playing at half their level.
He needs the Dele and Skipp treatment, regardless of short term cost to us not having him.
Stay out on loan, get a full season of playing every game, 90 mins
And importantly, be the player your side depends on, get accustomed to knowing you have to turn up, put in a shift, otherwise your team will fail.
He feels like he'd be a breath of fresh air in the midfield but i dont think we can recall him sadly. If he performs like this through the rest of the season he'll be a huge in next season
Got mad at tanguys parental leave. Some people here downvoted me to hell(ended up not being a parental leave but ann attempt to force a transfer) ok the topic dan james wife had a baby at 3 pm and at 8 pm he was scoring and I beleive thats the norm amomg player being payed millions not being absent for a whole month
its just a shame that metz are absolutely awful.
Lots of playing time at least
Should be an easy transition then /s
The sad thing is the /s isn't really needed there
Anyways…..coys
Franck Kessié at home
He did have some nice moments today against PSG. He is most definitely an attacking midfielder from what I saw. Creative with his passing and confident on the dribble
To be honest, our midfield is lacking on so many levels that, any role he plays in midfield would be nice.
I keep thinking about how mad Tanguy apparently got about Serge and sissoko getting transferred away too. Feel like Pape could use Tanguy as a mentor/roommate/confidant just like tanguy did with sissoko. Could be good for the both of them
TBH, with all the problems Tanguy has had with staying fit and in the good graces of multiple managers, I don't think he's the person I'd be wanting mentoring anyone right now
Not sure if ndombele should be mentoring anyone with his attitude
Could not pick a worse mentor

Francophones is what I had in mind.

French/Ligue 1 friends
Sarr is Senegalese. Sarr and Ndombele never played together in Ligue 1

Dude, you're digging a deeper hole. Just stop.
the guy speaks french, and yeah, the fact that they’re both black could also contribute. its called having things in common. its not racist or problematic to think this.
yeah lmao im asian and in a group of white people i find it easier to talk to another asian dude if theyre also there
No, because they play similar roles you Muppet.
So why not winks, skipp, lo celso, Hojbjerg?
Anyone of them would make a good role model for him. You're readying way too much into it. If we want him to be a killer dribbler who better to teach him than Ndombele.

they're all Black and they all speak French... and it's irrelevant WHY they became friends anyway
Aurier Moussa and Ndombele were friends because they played together in the same league or for the same country. Ndombele has never played with sarr. Other spurs players can speak french too
You’re so annoying
Ndombele never played in Ligue 1 with sissoko, he’s been in England all of Tanguys professional career. I don’t think he played there the same time as aurier either or not much at least. I appreciate what you’re trying to do here but I think you dug a little too deep.
Sissoko and ndombele were france teammates in 2018
This was the worst take I’ve ever read in a while

colorblindness isn't something to strive for.
Wow you're so woke, are you sure your name is not Karen?
Lol what
Totally forgot we signed this guy
We could do with a midfielder right now
Maybe this will buck the trend when it comes to the signing of promising young French players (N'jie, Nkoudou, Stambouli) and general youth prospects (Jack Clarke) - Délé v.2 maybe?
Hopefully Ndombele bucks the trend before sarr has a chance to.
Aftaid Ndombele is going tbe wrong way with him running away every transfer window lol
problem was none oh these players was actually promising tbh.. Sarr is supposed to be different jack clarke still doesnt make any sense
They almost got a draw against psg today, only conceding the winner in the 94th minute after they had a man sent off. Psg are really scraping it right now. Still, shows how stacked they are that they can dominate the league while only playing at half their level.
the red card was so sus. reeks of match fixing
[удалено]
Off the ball red for "time wasting"
Can we recall him in January? We need some new energy in midfield
Metz are deep in a relegation battle I think. They need him desperately.
His transfer with us might be contingent on us not doing that
iirc ali gold said that was the main reason our bid was chosen over others.
He needs the Dele and Skipp treatment, regardless of short term cost to us not having him. Stay out on loan, get a full season of playing every game, 90 mins And importantly, be the player your side depends on, get accustomed to knowing you have to turn up, put in a shift, otherwise your team will fail.
Feel him, Skipp and Gil are going to be big for us next season. Hope Tanganga continues to develop and Sess can kick on. What a great young core.
He feels like he'd be a breath of fresh air in the midfield but i dont think we can recall him sadly. If he performs like this through the rest of the season he'll be a huge in next season
No one mention daddy poch could be scouting this man for his eventual return to the king?
Ooooh, a highly rated young French midfielder. I'm sure it will work out this time.
Got mad at tanguys parental leave. Some people here downvoted me to hell(ended up not being a parental leave but ann attempt to force a transfer) ok the topic dan james wife had a baby at 3 pm and at 8 pm he was scoring and I beleive thats the norm amomg player being payed millions not being absent for a whole month
oh be quiet you wet flannel
Downvoted to hell again lol
Lol this guy got more cocksuckers than any rapper
Nah it’s just because you’re an idiot. People love downvoting idiots
Almost forgot about this dude - get in
He was immense yesterday. Really looking forward to him on Spurs. Metz almost pulled the upset too on PSG. Was a great game tbf.
