Tanguy Ndombele

[Elias]

so when we announcing Lo Celso?

Now that Argentina only have the Copa 3rd/4th playoff, hopefully soon.

I note the L'Equipe article states:
The phones heat up: Levy negotiates in parallel to bring Giovani Lo Celso (Betis Seville).

My suspicion is that Levy will not pay more for GLC than he paid for Ndombele. So if Betis really are holding out for the full release clause, he will walk away.

Plus the buzz is that Ceballos wants to join us, albeit on loan with an option to buy.

With Ndombele and Ceballos providing creativity and incisive passing, GLC becomes less crucial. Although being greedy, I would still like to sign him as well.

i think it will be much like the ohhh moussa sissoko song but instead ohhhhh tanguy Dembele....... i know its technically Ndombele but it will sound pretty much the same when sung by 60k yids....

I'd like him to get the old old Dembele song, to the tune of Black Betty:

Whoa Ndombele
He's a Yid
Ndombele Ndombele
He's a Yid

(Repeat)

 

[mummy]

No accents on it. On his English Wikipedia page, his French Wikipedia page, on Lyon's tweets, on Spurs's mentions of him...

Thanks for that.
I wonder if maybe, to be 100% correct, the 'e's should have acute accents but, for the sake of speed/laziness, it's acceptable to leave them off.
The name on the back of his shirt will be of little help, because the French don't normally put accents on capital letters. (ps I wouldn't totally trust some of the sources you quote)

Player - Tanguy Ndombele

No, Ndombele is absolutely in competition with Sissoko. They're both most accurately described as a CMs. Winks is primarily a DM, i.e. He competes primarily with Dier and Wanyama. Though obviously it depends what formation we play and they're all adaptable. Winks has a bit of a chronic foot...

[Mensa]

Wait we still haven’t had confirmation of who we are loaning him out to?

Hopefully we get that news today so everyone on here can rest easy and enjoy their summer

I do love tanqueray

I had a glass of no10 last night to celebrate the signing.

Tanguy Ndombele: the complete midfielder … as long as he is focused

Lyon write his name here a few times with lower case letters and no accents:




And also in the text of their official press release:

Départ : Merci Tanguy Ndombele

Tanguy Ndombele quitte l’OL pour rejoindre Londres et Tottenham. En seulement deux saisons du côté du Groupama Stadium, le natif de Longjumeau aura éclaboussé les pelouses de Ligue 1 de sa puissance, de sa technique et tout simplement de son immense talent.

www.ol.fr

Are those trustworthy enough sources?!

I know in regular French the final 'e' would be accented to fit the pronunciation, but I assume it must be something to do with the Congolese French origin of his surname.

In that third tweet the last e has an acute accent. Confusing.

 

[yes]

TAN-GUY N-DOM-BELE!!!!

Fuck knows the rest of it. But there's definitely something there.

So it does, I missed that. But still, it's accent-less everywhere else - I think that must have been a typo.

Why Tanguy Ndombele is the most important transfer in years

Spurs have signed a player who simultaneously solves their biggest problem, answers questions about their financial power, takes them to another level on the pitch and proves their new status away from it

Not meaning to sound ungrateful - but where the heck is the SpursTV interview for Ndombele?


They were obviously filming it yesterday.

Edit: the take away from that first interview...

> seems like a very very very chilled and humble guy. You really wouldn't think he'd just been signed for 60m quid if you didn't already know.
> playing in the PL was a big draw.
> Hugo and Sissoko clearly did some work recommending the club to him (as if we didn't guess that anyway).
>he has a massive boner for the new stadium and says it's the best he's ever seen/played in.

Came here to win the champions League , never thought I would hear a player say that.

Fucking levels, man.

Woolwich can shove their pandering, cringeworthy Adidas commercial where the sun don't shine.
