He can ping a pass, no doubt about it. Like
bus-conductor
has said and your low-lights have pointed out, he is reckless.
Not at all. Now that would be daft. But it does call into question where you got your statement from if there’s nothing out there to back it up.

If it were Potter that came in, I would just run with Tanganga, Toby, Rodon. All comfortable on the ball and wouldn't cost us Xmillion. We do need another body, but there have to be better options than this guy who has consistently shown he makes some PEH mistakes on the ball.
Very much inspired byFive 's efforts last summer I did a Hojbjerg lowlights vid when we were linked:
RE: Hojbjerg
Just to add weight to the ones
First sequence under only moderate pressure he balloons a pass to his team mate then whacks it at another team mate he's so scared of it exploding in his face.
Then next sequence twice in quick succession he has the chance to turn forwards but just bunts it backwards putting his defender under pressure and results in a goal
Third sequence, defender bringing it out, looks for Hojbjerg, who's in space, to take it off him, Hojbjerg doesn't even look to see if he can take it, just too worried in case he is marked (he isn't) so stands there pointing (where have we seen that before) for the CB to go backwards unnecessarily
All stuff we've seen plenty of this season
He's the least of our worries when we have Sissoko, Wanks, Doherty, Dier etc. on our books.
I don’t see them playing as first choice players, agree though. Everything goes thru PEH, in every single game and I’m not impressed
I could never commit to a thread, I'd be sure to come out with some disastrous takes. I will say this much, there's some silly ITK flutterings today linking us with Boubacar Kamara. He has the makings of a world class player in midfield and central defence, one of the closer player comps you could find to Kounde. Not sure if there's anything in it, but I'd love us to sign him.Doc
You two should have a joint thread where you scout potential transfer targets and rate them.
I feel that most fans like me (and maybe Hitchens?) get their impression of most players from 3 different ways:
a) watching players play against Spurs
b) a handful of big European matches
c) highlight reels on YouTube
For various reasons neither of those two methods are reliable or necessarily representative of the player.
Fixed that for you
Yeah I read that yeah someone heard an agent talking about him to Spurs.
Let's buy English. We have had enormous success with players who are proven in England.

I didn’t make it up - clubs officials have gone on record saying he’s nearly impossible to work with
Ok, I’m getting nowhere here. I’ll leave it.
Yeah, Championship buys have been mostly good for clubs the last few years. Toney, Armstrong, Olise the three standouts that would be available this year. Disappointing we didn't move for Eze.
I am to lazy to look it up , but i am sure I have heard a few similar stories, with attributable quotes. Ferguson definitely had a pop
But even the 'disastrous takes' may actually be useful for you; you could analyse why you got some wrong, and then keep that in mind for next time (for example there may be a pattern of players you rate who do well in La Liga but flop in PL).
Where did you hear these links?
