Bissouma is just as good imo

Couldn’t pay me to live there.
Sarr was bought and stayed on loan his first year. He was the start of the whole thing really.
Gil is another that was bought for this pathway. I think. He’s maybe a grey area. Can’t remember what Nuno did.
Spence was bought to play 1st team but Conte disagreed.
Bissouma is probably better if he keeps this up, but Bissouma if he keeps this up is better than basically anyone.
Rice may change now he's at a big club and not the stand out best player..... but I really took a dislike to him at the World Cup. I felt he hid from the ball in every game. He could be seen positioning himself so he couldn't be passed to and even signalling he didn't want the ball.
Maybe not a like for like player comparison, but could you imagine players like Dembele, Modric, Bissouma, Hoijberg, Bentancur etc hiding from the ball?
Most of them go out of their way to take it.
My commiserations buddy!
Bissouma is better, his press resistance is much better than Rice's and that's a very important for elite DMs.
Clement Lenglet | Football Stats | No Club | Season 2022/2023 | 2013- | Soccer Base
Clement Lenglet-2013-. (Born 17 Jun, 1995) Defender. Season 2022/2023 & career stats available, including appearances, goals & transfer fees.
Conte "liked" Lenglet.
The Frenchman made 35 appearances for THFC last season
I live there , just saying
Where’s that buddy ?
I’ve seen loads.
I think you are overrating him. He’s good but long way to go. And he’s more box to box than DM really.
He’s like an Ince type player.
Rice never gets anywhere near Modric or Dembele levels.
Modric and Dembele are not on the same level lol. Modric is an all time great, Dembele was a great ball carrier.
Ange has the kane money and a fresh transfer budget to fill that slot.
Also, although we don't want lemglet he's still better than dier and davies at cb. So conte was right.
We all know he wanted a proper cb as a priority (I.e. bastoni) and ended up with a lemglet loan
Ferguson isn’t going to start every game at Brighton this year.
He’s nowhere near ready to replace Kane. Certainly not a £100m player yet.
Brighton tax in full flow.
Let Véliz go on a Euro loan in January then see what he’s looking like next summer. Maybe 1 more loan and he could be a fucking beast.
Lack of urgency is what we do. Learning from past mistakes on the other hand...
We've known for ages that Hugo wants to go, it's ridiculous he's still here. The lad shoulda been released so he could pick his next club and get a big cheque, he's earned it.
Dier is a different animal. He doesn't want to go, still thinks he's our own Puyol, and I don't think the offers have been there...at least ones appealing enough to him/Spurs.
The rest of the deadwood, it's criminal they're still here. It's them highly paid people's jobs to find them clubs, put things in place so transfers happen.
I've been silent on the Kane situation, had actually drafted a long un but never posted it for peace's sake, but I'll just say this...the way it went down was a friggin joke, made a right mockery out of Spurs (again) thanks to the powers that be.
We've had a good start, yeah...but it's just two games. And the squad still has a few big holed that I'm afraid won't be filled and it'll show in a few weeks' time. Though Dan Dan expects Ange to work miracles a la Poch, which obviously would be a big win for him...spend 25% of what you really should but get top results.
If Dembele played for Madrid in his prime he’d also have the European cups modric has IMO
