Jose Mourinho and Tottenham have reportedly made a final decision on the future of Tanguy Ndombele. And the verdict is:
According to Football London, the Spurs boss has been impressed with Ndombele’s efforts to improve his fitness for the resumption of the Premier League season and sees a player motivated to prove himself.
The Frenchman has endured a difficult first year in England upon arriving from Lyon as our club-record buy, and was publicly criticised by Mourinho following our final league game before lockdown, against Burnley.
This prompted speculation that the 23-year-old might want out of Spurs already, with Sky Sports reporting he was a top target for Barcelona.
However, the club’s stance is now clear: he will be staying.
A fit and motivated Ndombele could be a major weapon for Spurs next season. Jose doesn’t strike me as the type to be easily impressed, so if he is seeing improvement in his fitness and attitude, it could be game on.

Well stop replying then! 😂😂😂
Not gonna bovva wiv ya. You’re too stupid to get what I’m saying/said.
So, you live with Tanguy Ndombele, because you wrote ‘you live it’. Now I get it and that explains everything! I’ll do a “chair” if you do a “book”. Pop up ones don’t count. 😛
See ya. Oh and if you know so much go do a “chair” somewhere.
You are funny. You replied to me by the way. I wouldn’t want to contact you, you make no sense in any comment you make. See ya😜
Read what you fkng want. I fckn live it. GO AWAY PLEASE. KNT
It’s based on Seyle’s General Adaptation Syndrome actually, but I can surmise you won’t care. You should try reading around a topic and understanding psychological concepts instead of just putting an opinion based on what you have done. Not to blow my own trumpet (and it is a cracker), but I have experience and a theoretical understanding of what I wrote, otherwise I would not have written it. Also, go look up Ndombele’s career before joining Spurs. Then come back and tell me I am wrong about anything I have written. I want this lad to lead Spurs to glory, but nothing I have read or seen convinces me he will. What you are experiencing is clearly cognitive dissonance, you can’t blame me for that. Poch didn’t trust him and Jose doesn’t trust him, his youth team team mates didn’t trust him, coaches in France didn’t trust him, professional team mates didn’t trust him, but you do. Are all these people wrong, the ones who knew him, work(ed) with him day in day out, or are you right? I don’t mind discussing anything, but at least have an informed opinion instead of writing ‘shut your mouth’. This is beneath me.
Your comments re mental health. Why don’t you just shut your mouth. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
I deal in realism. If Arsenal win their game in hand we are ninth. Put that in to perspective to us being in with a shout of the biggest prizes in football. The standard of football since Dembele left has been poor, under both Poch and Jose. I get behind players who want to play for my club. Put their heart and soul into it and show some quality every game, not just one in five. In recent years Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Son, Kane have been exceptional for my club, season in, season out. Dembele too. You won’t hear me say a bad word about them. These are the sort of players my club should demand season in season out. Levy didn’t replace Dembele, the best midfielder we’ve had in a generation. Let that sink in.The Belgians didn’t behave like Eriksen when it came to contracts. They were professional, whilst Eriksen sulked and forgot how to play. We deserve better than Davies, Winks and Lamela and I not afraid to say it. Do you think I’m going to falsely big up Aurier, Ndombele, Sissoko or Dier (that lad could have brilliant but took his eye off the ball of being a footballer) just because they are at Spurs? No way, I’m a fan but not a deluded one. I have said there is a player in Ndombele, but when he ambles after players v Wolves and Burnley he’ll get no respect from me until he deserves it. I want Spurs to go back to winning trophies and getting in to finals and for that you cannot afford to settle for mediocrity. As for mental health, you’ll know that if you are positive all the time to children, teenagers and adults, they will not be able to cope when any disappointments or constructive criticism finally comes their way. Overcoming stress is a key component of psychological development and vital for someone to manage their emotions.
The point is he hasn’t changed. Auxerre didn’t sign him from Amiens because he was overweight. Whatever is the issue with this lad, it was in place well before he came to England.
Who cares what he was like as a boy at a little club.
About Ndombele from Four Four Two, ‘“He was nonchalant,” Sullivan Martinet, his youth team captain at Guingamp, told Ouest France. “He was so strong that we were expecting more from him, more consistency. He didn’t try maybe as much. He didn’t give the impression of always being 100%. With hindsight, what harmed him was his behaviour off the pitch. We were less talented but we wanted it more than him.”
You man are too fast to “jump on” any kinda negative ness that the media write about my club. Any positivity that come out you man are also fast to knock it down talking it will never happen coz of levy being bla bla bla. Try sticking up for your team for once. You say you know a bit about mental health so you should know how important being positive is. And that goes for life in general
Interesting how you must know what is going on by making presumptions, which is what everyone does on here, so why are you right? You have an opinion, so do I, but I’ll tell you why I came to this conclusion. Ndombele has history in demonstrating a poor attitude and fitness in France. Fact. Did he not have his family and friends there either? We should have known that history and stayed away. Ferguson at Utd didn’t just buy a player based on what goes on on the grass, he got to know their family and looked at the player away from the pitch. Your last sentence makes no sense to me. A professional footballer should always be fit, unless physically injured. The clue is in the word professional. The lad is carrying excess weight. I’m not a professional footballer, but I know quite a few, I know lots of lads who are non league and I know lads at grass roots. They don’t carry excess weight. Infact, tell me 10 players in the EPL who carry excess weight as professional footballers? He might well have struggled settling in, but to stop being a professional is not acceptable. Bale moved his friends and family out to Madrid. Ndombele is on £200k a week, so I am sure he can afford to get two mates, a cousin and a cat over. Finally, If a company headhunts a worker they expect them to do their job, especially when paying such a high price. I have a mate who is out in Shangai. He was headhunted, moved out there on very good money, found the culture totally alien, but still turned up at work and did the job he was paid to do. Our very own Jimmy Greaves wasn’t liked by the coach at Milan, found the culture alien, knew very little Italian, had few friends but still scored goals for fun because he was professional. I understand mental health, all too well too, so please don’t think I don’t.
Rather harsh post there Tappaspur, but so bloody true, in other words well said.
What a load a rubbish. You don’t know what’s going on in the boys mind right about now which is obviously affecting his motivation toward his life/work. Just talking talking talking again about stuff you obviously know very little about (makes you/other people sound stupid. Not all youngsters can move away from their family/life and settle into a new life/job language straight away. He leaves training then what does he do? He ain’t got his real mates/family here to go check ect. This is all new to the boy. Players/workers work best when they’re settled stable and happy. People who don’t know anything about life/ people and how the mind works are the people who talk the most $h!t I find. I’ve been in many many meeting re people minds/mental states addictions ect, Sat in rooms full of suits talking about stuff they’ve only read in books. (Haven’t felt anything they’re talking about (millions of pounds contracts) that’s why they HAVE to bring man like me in. From this corona thing people might start to realise/understand about mental health/isolation a bit more. “What’s he got to be depressed about? His getting £100.000 of grands a week, big house car ect. Bloody ignorant some people are. Also what does fitness and attitude have to do with a professionals price tag?
Anyone who thinks Tottenham would spend all that dough on a foreign player with real quality and sell him 5 mins later is an idiot. All those who have moved abroad for work will tell you it takes a bit a time/adjustment culturally, new surroungings ect with the new firm you’re working for. So maybe he’s been comfort eating cake while he’s feels a bit lost and alone coz a lot of his real friends and family ain’t around him in this new country. Give the boy a break man. He’ll settle, get happier. and come good. That goes for all the new foreign players. (gedson Steven b ect. We haven’t seen their best work yet that will come when the surroundings ain’t new anymore and they feel part of the place. Was speaking with clasford sterling about some of the QRP boys. EZE (who he’s been banging on about for years and still banging on about him now) great player (havoc baller) we have to get that boy in and probably will. I said should we use Luke Amos and jack Clark to get him. He said no. Clark needs further developing and needs couple more years at Tottenham. Luke Amos mustn’t be sold either, the boy has it in him. Clark. Stupid people think we should buy teenagers the sell them as teenagers. Takes a few years to develop top boys in to top men. Jack Clark. don’t listen to all the rubbish the morons write son.
Anyone who thought we would spend all that dough on a player of his quality from a foreign club then sell him so quickly is an idiot. Bit like coating of Joses work after he joined a mess of a squad midway through a season. Expecting players and managers to produce their best work instantly in a new fckd up environment. Bloody STUPID people. all the new players Jose has brought in (without pre seasons) cannot be judged so quickly as in your gedsons bergwin ect. We ain’t seen anything from new Midway through the season training staff/ballers yet. Lay of the newbies you mugs. The teenage Clark boy people saying he’s shit and we should let him go, 18 years old boy is sh!t” even before he’s finished developing as a man and Tottenham player. Teenage players still learning must be given till they’re 21/22 23 even. players don’t become real players till they’re 22/23. (Marcus will be prime example) dangerous 23 year old player he’ll be) I think EZE QPE would come here and impress straight away but wouldnt be thrown is straight away. (Best to get to know some grassroots tottenham culture first around the place before we make them superstars. My man clasford sterling MBE has been banging on about him for years. Levy/Jose gonna bring in some real good players this window I reckon on frees plus a few reduced priced ones. We gonna be strong.
Fitness and attitude shouldn’t even be an issue for a £60m player. I thought big of this lad when he first started to play, there is a player there. I just hope he stays fit now McDonald’s is re-opening!
