Okay, as it needs to be spelled out in simple terms...

You posted a virtue signalling sneer about people virtue signalling on social media ...on guess what - an element of that very social media.

I wouldn't expect you to admit that I'm right - it's not your style. It does sum up very neatly the majority of your contributions though.

Jesus, how the fuck do you manage to interpret my comments as virtue signalling you spectacular donkey. I wasn't trying, under any circumstances, to show that I possess laudable virtues that substantiate what I said. It was a simple comment that I thought that even someone of your limited cognitive powers could grasp.
I really overestimated you.
 
We need Willy Wonka running THFC. He can spot a bad egg - and he knows what to do with them.

Mate Denmark population 5. Million Mali population Mali 22 million! They have more players playing top flight. This just feels a bit Eurocentric, Mali have players at Palace Wolves In Italy in that stupid Saudi money pit. Bundesliga and the Swiss first division. I don't think its deeper than the coach isn't fussed, and despite your preconceptions he has options. I'd like us to have some more if I honest the we can quietly replace.

It’s not about populations or how many players Mali have playing across Europe it’s about the quality of the players.
Who would win if Denmark played Mali?
Name me 1 better midfielder that Mali have than Bissouma? Let alone the 6/7 it would need to keep him out of the squad.
After research because I didn’t know any other Mali players tbh they have one guy who plays for RB Leipzig who is worth 20m on transfer market and they have a few who play in SA 3/4m on transfer market.
I appreciate transfer market isn’t 100% on how good a player is but I just using it as a rough guide btw Bissouma was 35m.
Ive nothing against Mali I don’t want/mean this to sound like a pop or a rant at them I just think Bissouma is being left out for other reasons than his football ability or the system the coach is using

It's a fair thing to ponder...... It's not bigotry.

Honestly 100% agree.

It’s not crack and it doesn’t stop him performing. He didn’t do it at work and as long as he’s professional at work and playing well, I couldn’t give a fuck.

But he hasn’t played well for ages and his Spurs career this far has been a let down - and if you disagree with this, take the rose tinted glasses off and actually think why a fit Bissouma wasn’t picked to start vs Arse at home last season.
This all makes it easier to be pissed with him over this incident because it’s just symptomatic of someone who just doesn’t have an elite footballers mindset.

He had several really good performances down the stretch of the season. He hasn’t played well consistently for ages I agree with you on that.

He had the 7 game streak at the start of last season and then was good against Newcastle at home which was our most superior performance of the season - helped by Newcastle being in the midst of a dreadful run. What did he do after that?? That Newcastle game was in December.

I saw him tear us apart at our place for Brighton the season before we signed him, but that was vs a Conte team that didn’t press high in midfield. We’re now facing teams that are continually looking to expose Ange’s system with a high press and Bissouma’s often languid style + lack of concentration directly lead to goals conceded last season.

Bissouma is not good enough to be our anchor week in, week out in this league and under this system - end of story unfortunately. He could take heroin and I’d forgive him if this wasn’t the case..
 
Yeah, that’s him done I’d say.

We should be doing everything to try and find a buyer for him in the last few weeks of the window.
Only issue is if we did sell him we probably wouldn’t replace him, and he’s our only (semi) competent 6/DM.
