Son, Maddison and Romero being handed the official leadership roles over all three remaining members of the "leadership council" of last season says everything you need to know.
Well, that's the thing with rebuilding, if you can't execute it, including the things that are hard, you'll fail just as badly, with just as dire of consequences, as trying to win trophies in the immediate term.
Do or do not, there is no try.
A lot of long running burdens have been relieved by turning the page on the Poch/Jose/Conte saga and starting fresh. The burden of properly running the club in the best interests of its competitive fortunes is permanent. If Levy starts fucking up the new chapter, welp, here we shall go again.
I have no idea how you decided that Hojbjerg isn't a helpful player or a good influence, I doubt Ange feels the same considering he still gives him minutes despite having one foot out the door.
Hojbjerg seems a decent enough character (as do Dier and Lloris), but he's ill suited to Angeball and will only be a square peg in a round hole.
Two words:
Shop. window.
I like PEH but he does not fit fit Ange ball and is the most saleable asset. When the game is won then show the world how important he is.
I don't buy it, we're not putting Spence, Ndombele, or Dier in the shop window. I think if Atletico fails to put a decent bid Ange will use him a fair amount.
That's what I'm afraid of.
Ange is clearly willing to sell PEH, there seems to be no doubt of that. He may be perfectly content integrating him into a role on the team, but we know PEH, we know football, we know coaches, his risk-averse passing and shitty fucking tattoos will grow like weeds on the teamsheet if he's allowed to stay. The club needs to make this an Ange team, they've got to get him out of here.
(I know, I know, PEH needs to accept the move, etc. I'm just going to be fucking pissed if he's starting a run of games doing his typical bullshit after the window closes. Spursy as fuck.)
Albeit, with alleged force of entry!And 50% with his third leg!
If we don’t sell PEH, he’s actually a decent squad player to use exactly how he was Saturday.
Nowhere near the quality of our starting options, but will do in a pinch.
Will say the way our midfield looks so far, he isn’t close to those standards. But doesn’t seem a malcontent.

100% spot on. He's an active part of the last three years of utter stagnation. Good bloke bang average footballer.
They want 120m.
Which, translated from transfer-ese, means he's not for sale.
Brighton aren't hurting for money, they don't have to sell a player if they don't want to, especially not one under contract until 2028.
Not really, it's Brighton, they'll probably sell him for 140m to Chelsea next season.
Sure, when they're ready to sell.
Get ready.Imagine if we don’t buy anyone and we sold Harry Kane. Just imagine
