Me and
N5 Spur
was taking about him a few months ago in the players to keep an eye on thread.
By that would Faes be a good pick up?
Fuck you and your fucking toxicity.
No more fucking division. Only circle wanks and meditation from here on out.
Aaaaaand BREATHE.
You'd have to look at other metrics to really base a centre back on those set of stats.
Some teams are going to be more defensive or attacked more in games which will boost up numbers.
I saw some statistics that really made me question my eyes. From the 2019-2020 season through last season, here are some Hojbjerg stats:
1. Most recoveries in the entire PL
2. Second most successful passes in the entire PL
In other words, he is among the best at taking the ball from the opposition and circulating the ball to his teammates.
At heart, he is a defensive midfielder that also has good passing abilities.
Some people want him to also be press resistant (of course!), but there aren’t too many players in the world that are top at recovering the ball, top at passing the ball, and top at being press resistant.
The top press resistant players that I can think of at the top of my head (Frankie de Jong, Veratti) are not as good at recovering the ball. They tend to be deep lying playmakers (#6s).
He's a winner. I like it.
Let's bring him in. Irrational confidence is the #1 trait you look for when trying to win at a club that never wins
We'll put this one under "Maybes"
Not saying you’re wrong but they bought mendy and 1 he’s shit and 2 no where near the prestige of loris
(BC mentioned maybe loris has knocked an offer back already)
Were those per 90 stats?
Hojberg's best ability is availability. He probably played a lot more minutes than most players so if those stats are volume stats, it makes sense.
In truth, press resistance is the most important skill for #6 in the prem. You can make up the ball recoveries via a team system and pressing forwards.
Should come free with a name like that
Just won the Tiger Cup
And when that doesn’t happen you’ll be back here saying « I was a toxic, pessimistic bore and I was wrong ».

Neither were we what?
Ask your average barcode about their Keegan years, challenging Fergie etc, and it's all gushing pride......
I'm not suggesting go full blinkered like they or Dippers are prone to doing, but like I said in my OG post "Never" remembering it "with anything but regret" is a damn shame.
Satisfied? Nope.
"Never" remember it "with anything but regret" is a far more extreme take-away though.
Gotta be honest I don't see this current Arse crop as some mega, generational group. Interesting season ahead.
I called this wrong. I was certain Kane would see out his contract and then have the pick of clubs and an enormous contract all for himself
He loses all that signing for Bayern
You have to wonder if these players are just fine seeing out their contract here or have terrible agents. Maybe both?
Players that should be moving on....
Hugo
Perisic
Sanchez
PEH
Rodon
Tanganga
Maybes
N'Dombele
Reguillon
Lo Celso
Gil
Should bes
Dier
Davies
Nothing concrete about any of them. Closest we got is Spurs accepting a bid for Sanchez from Moscow.
Chelsea and Saudi Arabia have a "special relationship".
Perisic is still useful, we shouldn't move him on before buying another winger.
