bissouma is far more appropriate for a two man midfield
Bissouma: I wonder if an ankle tag would slow him down?
good deal for that price
A month !!!
Did not know that !
10th June.
For Ajax, yes
maybe but he is highly rated
right sided kounde
quick but short on the defender side 5 foot 10 exactly i think
Ok, maybe there is some way to guard against that? 6m loan would get part way there.
Only way anything along the lines you're thinking will work, is if there is an obligation triggered by his name being cleared.
I thought it was the 30/6 so fair enough.
Been brought fwd for this summer.....
Feels wonky though as all the contract end dates for free signings will be 30/06 still.

It's hard to find any info about what exactly he's charged for and the eventual penalty for it. Let's hope that he is NOT guilty whether he joins Spurs or not.
Premier League star bailed after being arrested in bar after 2am drama
PREMIER League footy star Yves Bissouma has been bailed after being arrested and marched out of a nightclub in the early hours of Wednesday.
The in-form Brighton midfielder, 25, spent the day in custody after getting arrested in the South Coast city.

Clips filmed by onlookers show Bissouma being led from The Arch bar in handcuffs at around 2am
Shocked revellers told how they saw Bissouma being marched out of a packed nightclub in handcuffs by police officers.
Sussex Police today confirmed a man in his 20s and a man in his 40s had been released after the arrest on October 6.
A spokesperson said: "A man in his 40s and a man in his 20s, both from Brighton, were arrested and have been released on conditional bail until November 3 while enquiries continue."
The Brighton midfielder — who has been linked with a number of big clubs including Liverpool, Manchester United and Woolwich — had been partying with a pal in the early hours of Wednesday when cops were called.
Bissouma, a likely big-money target in the upcoming January transfer window, was then detained by officers at popular city venue The Arch before being led away in handcuffs at around 2am.
An insider said: “The club was packed — it was a popular student night, especially with freshers in town.
“People were starstruck to see Bissouma in the club — he’s Brighton’s best player at the moment, so he definitely caught some eyes.
“They were even more shocked to see him later being led away in handcuffs outside the club.”
His friend, who is in his 40s, was also arrested.
The insider went on: “People were absolutely stunned by what was going on. The next thing we knew, two police officers were taking him away in cuffs. I couldn’t believe it.”
Sussex Police confirmed on Wednesday that a man in his 20s and another in his 40s had been arrested “in the early hours”.
At that time they were still in custody being quizzed by police.
Witnesses say they had been at The Arch for “a couple of hours” before an alleged incident at around 1.30am.
Last month he declared his aim to be the best in the top flight.
Asked who was the Premier League’s top midfielder, he told BBC One’s Football Focus: “I don’t want to be arrogant, but it’s me because in my head I am working to be the best. So I cannot say another name.
"I know in the Premier League there are so many good midfielders, but for me, it’s me because that gives me the confidence and the energy to work hard to show people I am here and I am Bissouma.”
The player — born in the Ivory Coast but now a Mali international — signed for the Seagulls from French side Lille in 2018 for a reported £15million.
He scored his first goal for the club against Bournemouth in the FA Cup third round in 2019. Bissouma has since attracted the attentions of a clutch of Big Six clubs with a string of impressive performances.
One against Everton last season had Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher raving he was “the best player by a mile on the pitch”. He added: “You looked at him and he really does look like a top-quality player.”
Among his highlights was a 30-yard strike he netted against Everton in October 2020, which won him the club’s Goal of the Month award.
Brighton had to fight tooth and nail to keep him over the summer amid fierce interest, and he started this season equally strongly before picking up a knee injury.
It kept him out of the 0-0 stalemate at home to Woolwich last Saturday evening.
He also missed the 1-1 draw at fierce rivals Crystal Palace on the Monday night before. He has been tipped to leave the club when the January transfer window opens.
Brighton manager Graham Potter has branded his 6ft star “unique”, saying he “does not have a direct replacement” for him.
Bissouma also previously told of his pain at leaving his parents in the Ivory Coast when he was 13 to go to a football academy in Mali.
He told The Guardian: “It was hard to leave my parents because I’ve always been very devoted to them.
"But I said to myself, ‘Maman and Papa have done their best for me, now I have to show I am a man and fight to achieve’.”
A club spokesman said: “Brighton & Hove Albion are aware that one of its players is assisting police with the investigation of an alleged offence.
"The matter is subject to a legal process and the club is therefore unable to make further comment at this time.”
The Arch did not respond to a request for comment.

We need a midfielder like Milinkovic-Savic to give us the option of switching to a 3-5-2 when we need to. Can’t go the whole season sticking to one formation, there were a few games this season where the 3-4-3 didn’t work too well
You know our Daniel....
