The problems surrounding Tanguy Ndombele look set to continue, in fact, unless something rather seismic happens, the situation looks likely to come to a nasty head.
23-year-old Tanguy got off to bad start at Spurs, continuing the grand tradition of Spurs’ signing players with a backstory, opposed to someone who can assimilate without any great fuss. Arrives, holds up the shirt, all smiles, count to ten and wait for disaster to strike. José Mourinho was characteristically unsympathetic with a player taking a rumoured £200,000 a week, yet incapable of maintaining acceptable levels of fitness.
The Portuguese has naturally been accused of mishandling the situation, but what is one supposed to expect from a professional athlete? Plus, this is not a new situation. Ndombele already has form for being overweight and the discord that comes with it.
The bottom line here is that the Frenchman is on far too much money to be doing anything than working his socks off. IF he isn’t keeping in shape, and IF he isn’t busting a gut in training, then he hasn’t as the phrase goes, got a fat leg to stand on.
