I remember how much flak Dembele used to get from a certain section of the fans though. There were many who complained that he, 1) did not score enough, 2) did not create enough chances, 3) was a poor forward passer.
Quite a few fans don't seem to understand that the task for a DM is not to be the offensive spark but allow those players who've got the talents the freedom to express themselves and support them.
It's a little bit the same regarding Højbjerg (no, he's not close to Dembele, so that's not the point): he's a DM whose task is to support attacking players... NOT to be that attacking flair player, simply because he isn't that kind of player. N'Golo Kanté is a top class DM but you'll hardly seem him have much direct influence on the offensive.

Hojbjerg's attacking output is pretty decent for a guy of his type. The issue people have with Hojbjerg is he can have a poor touch, skews passes, can be ghosted past by decent ball carriers, whiffs a good few tackles, doesn't have much range in his passing, waves his arms a lot when it's he who's at fault. On his day he keeps these flaws to a minimum, but he has more instances of these things creeping into his performance than a top player allows. He's a good player and I quite like him, he can also be very poor at times. That's kind of where we are with a lot of our players.

You can't accept the realities , certainly not on Locelso. Whatever PEH limitations he is available to play. Locelso and Ndombele are very likely done at Spurs. I had high hope for Tanguy knew little about the Argentine. But its been an epic flop.

Can't accept what realities? I have said we should sell both Lo Celso and Ndombele.

There are very few times that one of Ndombele or GLC have both been unavailable. In those cases PEH starting is fine. That should be his role playing when the better players are not available.

If team's didn't sign 'rivals rejects' then De Bruyne, Salah, Lukaku wouldn't be in the PL and smashing it.

Unless... We just sign Chelsea rejects :levyeyes:

I would take 70% of what we paid for him. What would you take?

We have to stop worrying about what we paid for players and focus on what they are worth now.

We have too many players that shouldn't be here- Dier, Dele, Winks, Moura, GLC, Sanchez, Royal, Bergwijn, Ndombele, Gollini should all be gone. Rodon, Davies are options as back-ups but can go as well.

If we focus on what we paid not what they are worth we will continue to float around 6th-8th and never come close to competing with the top teams in the league.

Doesn't have to be Real or Barca but if teams in La Liga or Serie A aren't interested in him than they are idiots. He has shown he can be very successful in La Liga and is very good for Argentina as well. He would be successful in those leagues no doubt.
