Don't worry Pape is learning with Metz :auriergrin:.I almost lost my mind when we signed him. When your team is in rag order, and you go and sign a guy like this and make him an automatic starter, all the while banging on about how your incredible stadium needs to be seeing CL football every season and you want to compete for titles, you deserve nothing but suffering.
I'm on the Pape train, my dear man. Don't you worry about that. I expect him to show some people what a real footballer looks like.
What does he offer at CDM though?I'll be honest. I don't think Hojbjerg has been that good basically since the turn of the year.
He had a lot of poor games around February time and I liked him in that defensive destroyer role but recently he's looked quite weak in the tackle and some bad closing down etc.
I prefer him in the CDM role. What does he do really at CM? His passing/dribbling isn't as good as say Lo Celso's.

What does he offer at Cm then?What does he offer at CDM though?
He's not a great tackler, he's not a great defender, he doesn't plug the gap at the edge of the box. He's just not the standard required. By all means bring him on with 15 or 20 to go if you are looking to hold onto a lead, but as a starter...eek.
I'd prefer a top class CDM and a top class CM, not an adequate player shoved into either positionWhat does he offer at Cm then?
Prefer him at CDM . He did well in the 1st half of last season

Sheesh, you seem like a self hating incelI'd prefer a top class CDM and a top class CM, not an adequate player shoved into either position
How the fuck you work that one out is beyond me
Wow you are bitching again; what a surprise. We signed him for a fairly reasonable price and he played practically every PL minute last year. But we could have gone with Winks instead!I almost lost my mind when we signed him.

Pape will join next year at 19, and after 2 bad games, you'll slate him off and complain he was a cheap option.I'm on the Pape train, my dear man. Don't you worry about that. I expect him to show some people what a real footballer looks like.
People just don't want to confuse defensive mids with dungeon masters.I can't take people who write "CDM" seriously. Like opposed to what, RDM? LDM? It's such a FIFAism.
What I've always said about Hojberg, he's in the team and lauded only because he's not Harry Winks.Wow you are bitching again; what a surprise. We signed him for a fairly reasonable price and he played practically every PL minute last year. But we could have gone with Winks instead!
Get a grip. There's plenty of real things to complain about, but you're bitching just to bitch here.
The one that really hits me is when somebody says 'CAM' and actually says rather than the acronym. Makes me feel nauseous.I can't take people who write "CDM" seriously. Like opposed to what, RDM? LDM? It's such a FIFAism.
