I hear you, but I've made a point lately of watching what Hojbjerg gets up to in his games, and I'm really really unimpressed. I can't believe we've scoured Europe and come up with him as the answer. He's not exactly dynamic and the ball's a hot potato if anyone's near him. It's like watching Dier in midfield all over again.

That's actually not horrendous, I thought it was more like 50m Euro?
Now I have to go and check
Actually excellent value for money (£45m).
You're right €50m
OK, let me clarify that, he won't be spitting bis dummy out at us because Bayern want him back.
I think your personally being over critical but I get he’s not what some would want because he’s not excellent at much ( his ball winning is excellent though ) but for me he’s a good passer, he can move it quickly and he can pop it over top for a runner.
He’s defensive quality is better than anyone at the club but I do have worries about him staying in position as he likes to go on a run forward.
I see it as a good easy buy at a affordable price than will instantly improve us and let us move on to the problems at full back.
I do see why some wouldn’t be excited by it though
I'd have Choudhry from Leicester over Hojbjerg.
Also HG player and younger.
Leicester have signed William Carvalho too so he won't getting much game time unless they decide to sell Ndidi.

If Hoijberg is the best we are gonna get I'd rather just give Skipp a go and hope for the best
We have wasted enough money on average players these last few years already

Kessie is actually 4kg lighter than Partey, and 1cm taller. Are you surprised?
Hojbjerg to Spurs confirmed! :mourfacepalm:
Paid very little attention I'm afraid, was concentrating on Castagne because of the link. Is he any good?
Are you serious? The guy is glacial.
Very much so. Kessie looks like one BIG muscle
I don't know. Assuming he's better than Castagne since he's their starter
Have watched about 25 mins of it. Roma's defensive organisation is insane so far. And what I wouldn't do to have Dzeko here. What a baller.
Yeah. I read he has agreed personal terms.
They will have 3 DMs
Carvalho
Ndidi
Choudhry
I don't need a big name or an exotic name, it's just that I think we have made far too many of these type of signings lately and they are killing us. I posted some timings to watch Hojbjerg in the match thread from their game against Arse on Sunday, if you can find that post and still have the game, check out the clips, he was atrocious, his panic passing contributed to both their goals.
Maybe Carvalho as 8. He's been playing 8 for Portugal ever since Neves took charge of the 6
Possible.
I've not seen him play much recently. He's been on the bench for Betis
