Everyone who observes Kane's condition when he comes back from a prolonged absence due to injury can see he put in the time and effort to remain fit and well conditioned to do a 90 minute game when called upon. It's an obligation to his club, supporters and himself. On the contrary, Ndombele does not look fit and as evidenced from his huffing and puffing after being on the pitch for over 15 minutes, it is not because his "body just looks that way". that is a pretty big problem for a guy who also participated in a full pre season with the team and raking in 175k a week.

Agreed but if he is struggling but doing all he can to get there then it ain't his fault. Joao Felix at Atletico Madrid and Griezmann at Barcelona are both having tough seasons as well. Big fees paid don't neccesailry equate to a guarantee that they will hit the ground running. I think we'd be better off leaving him alone and letting it come when it's time to, even if that means a couple more months of being patient with the kid.
Ideally he's ready now but he ain't so we as a fanbase need to suck it up and take it on the chin for the time being
It doesn't matter how much he's been offered to play for Spurs, that's our issue not his. I don't ask he's ready right now all I do ask is that he gives it what he can until he gets there with us.
He's blessed with unreal talent. Yes he needs to ultimately be the one who gets there with us but as a club and a fanbase we need to ensure he has the support to reach those levels.
He's completed 90 minutes in this league so far and has had 3 spells out (Hamstring, Groin and other not known but I recall something about his hip but I might be mistaken). It's too early to be ripping him a new one, the factors surrounding him for me make it too harsh to so early on.
Especially, when you jump into the most demanding league and start with health problems. His touch oozes class, if he realises fully his potential he's gonna be world class. We can clearly see limits of Moura, Son, Davies, Aurier etc, and yet look how vital they are for us.
Good to see Hugo training. The economy of his movement and speed he gets back on his feet is very impressive. He's like Agent Smith in The Matrix.
can you please not use everybody hyping tanguy up to comment on my quote pleaaase thank you. I'm just saying i think grealish is the flavor for the year and thats it.
“Thick”
Yeah i noticed that. His agility snd responsiveness is first class.
Some people on here still seem in doubt, but I think it is clear from the photos that he's put on weight. That's how I interpret some of Mou's comments about him and the sense of frustration behind them. E.g. 'he's not injured, but he can't play 90 mins' and the comment about putting him on a global training programme including personalised nutrition.
All this suggests to me that Tanguy lacks a bit of professionalism - no way a Harry Kane or Cristiano would ever allow themselves to get like this. On the other hand the attitude needed is something he can still learn: he's young and adjusting to a new environment. Harry Kane has spoken about being told by Poch, when he first joined, that he needed to work harder and how the penny dropped. Sooner or later Tanguy has to realise the sacrifices needed to get fit for the Premier League. Next pre-season is crucial.

And as we know, this is not the first time he has allowed himself to be overweight.
Put it this way you think Levy would have shelled out 64M for the player we have seen for us?

Not sure I can entirely tell the difference from the two photos provided. Different angles for a start.
When was the in game photo taken? What game?
Make him live at The Lodge for the foreseeable ffs.
No idea when the second one was taken to be honest, but the fact it was after the first one was supposed to make the point. Don't you think he looked thinner when he signed, than now?
I honestly can’t tell the difference.
He definitely needs to work on his fitness though for sure. If he could last the game he’d be awesome.
