He really wasn't. he just wasn't the utter dogshit that Sissoko was.
He really hasn't. He's been at best, as consistently in and out of form. And that's the story of his career, in which even his best form is only a mediocre player.

funny but also true, our whole midfield could use a massive upgrade really.
I completely disagree so not much else to say really.
Elite mentality
Played well for his country again

He's such a frustrating player. We know how good he can be and how he can quietly control the midfield but his inconsistency means that surely we can upgrade on him in the summer. We might not get a player with a ceiling as high as his but i would take a player who puts in 7/10 performances regularly over someone who puts in a 9/10 every 7 or 8 games with a load of 5/10 in between
No one was consistent under Ange because he was a shite manager with shite tactics, can you understand that?
Pretty patronising end to that reply no?
Some players had been consistent when they weren't run into the ground by Ange. Bentancurs inconsistency predated Ange. By the sounds of it we'll likely be keeping him but we can improve on him IMO
I think it's a case of waiting to see what Frank gets out of him. Out of all of them really. We know Bentancur can be excellent. Is there more consistency to be found in his performance? Time will tell.
I get that mate but for me he's been here long enough and hasn't shown it consistently. Hopefully if he does stay he proves doubters wrong but I would be worried going into new season if we're relying on as a main starter
He did have the injury where he was out for the year. I've often wondered if he ever actually made a full recovery.
He also had an ACL injury and those are usually described as "2 year recoveries". 1 year to just get physically fit. Then another to just get comfortable/not scared about relying on that knee again.
He's not the most mobile player and Angeball asked for an excessive degree of mobility from his position, I'd back him to be one of the most improved under Frank. He's a really technically sound footballer, I think he's underappreciated.
When he's playing near his best you won't find too many midfielders who are as complete as Bentancur, especially in our shopping trolley. He has defensive tenacity, covers ground well, is safe in possession, can even take players on occasionally, scores some goals and gets some assists. Really fantastic midfielder as we have seen in stretches previously, he's just had a lot of problems being in and out so frequently as of late.
Id back him to make a return to form with some regularity of playing time and in a system which protects the midfield a bit more than the frantic Postecoglu setup.

130k a week. Ffs. Levy is such a fucking miser. He could easily earn another 30k over more elsewhere...
Big fan of bentancur!
