So then…rumours of PEH to Madrid I assume from past few posts.
Either
1- bullshit.
2- accurate.
If 1, as you were.
If 2, then it will be very interesting to see how posters on here respond to whatever the club does.
Sell - undermining Conte to turn a quick buck?
Keep- fucking clogger that we should have sold and penny pinching Levy has undermined Conte?
Personally, I think Conte sees him as hugely reliable and one of the first names on the team sheet.
The guy barely misses a minute.
I don’t reckon there’s much chance of Conte giving his blessing to a sale at this stage unless there is someone very special lined up and willing to come to us.

I could see him being a goer for the right price as we got him for fuck all comparatively with the old ENIC running out of contract special bargain favourite transfer tactic.
Signed for £15m or something and easily worth £40m in the market.
Don't want him to go anywhere personally.

Just about the worst take I've read about a player! Literally, you couldn't be more wrong.
He literally has the most progressive passes per 90, AND the goals and assists out of ALL our mids!!
But let's not stop there, this is his numbers when compared to others playing in the same position across Europe................
Might I suggest that the issue is with you, what you aren't seeing because trust me, I see the things he does, the passes he makes he passes my eye test and the stats simply back up what my eyes see.
I would assume aesthetics come to play when some people watch Hojbjerg.
He's not a Modric type blessed player with low centre of gravity who looks good on the ball. He's not that tall languid cool type player that Busquets is. He's not calm and composed like a Kroos. He's not technically gifted like a Thiago.
But what he does provide, and this is why hate surprises me, is the complete team player. He listens to instructions and does exactly what needs to be done for the team. Doesn't matter on the opponent. He provides a level that the team should all desire to be on. I'm not saying he's world class. He's far from it. But that guy bleeds Tottenham when he's on the pitch. He probably goes home and doesn't give a shit about the club or it's history. But for 90 minutes a week, that guy gets it. What it means to put that Spurs shirt on when he does. And for that, you can't hate.
We would be a lot better off if the rest of our squad had the same mentality Hojbjerg had. There's a reason Conte sees so much in him. And that is also the reason Conte won't be selling him.
Even if Bissouma and Bentancur overtake him in the starting eleven. Even if Skipp comes in and provides a better option. Having someone like Hojbjerg in that squad, able to come on or start games is a massive boost and a real good position we find ourselves in. Especially under Conte,

This story is utter gash . Madrid do not need or want Hojbjerg its a complete press flyer imho
I have asked a proof, not some s*** stats that i already state are irrelevant. Some people on here are so bias, they turn completely blind. Again stats are one thing, reality another. Still waiting for the video proof of the things i mention.Just about the worst take I've read about a player! Literally, you couldn't be more wrong.

He is bang average, not better than that and he is easily upgredable.
He is good bench option though, nothing more than that.
Where did you even pop in here from you blow-in? Was it collect 10 potato chips packets and get into 'soccer' or something?
Unlike most of you i actually have played football for many years in the past.
PEH won't start for any top 6 team in the league, he is that good. On his best day he is bang average.
Easily one of the weakest link alongside with our WBs currently, Emerson and Sess.
There is a reason we were utter s***** before Conte arrival.
Yeah, selling Hojbjerg makes perfect sense when we've spent the whole summer improving our squad depth to challenge for trophies and bending over backwards to encourage Conte to stay.
Hojbjerg sale = whole season ruined two games in and Conte walking. Don't see it happening.

That why you only showed up months ago you fringe?
Will people on here learn to read ? I have never suggested we should sell him or not play him at all.
But he is easily the most upgradable unit in our team in the starting 11.
He is just not good enough. I get that some people have different opinion, good on them, but they should respect other people opinions as well.
I base my opinion on what i see with my eyes. Stats are absolutely bollocks.
There was stats that made Jadon Sancho an absolutely world class, that he have created more chances than most players in the world, and all that nonsenses, and he is utter garbage for United. Same for Bruno being top 3 in a lot of stats, but he is being nothing special for United.
Again you can find all kind of stats that put some bang average player looking like prime Makelele, Gatuso and so on.
Kante is often missing from most stats, yet he is one of the best in the world in that position.

He was given the MOTM award btw.
