in 2021/22 - Bissouma had better defensive numbers.

Editing this as I posted the wrong year for Bissouma - in 2021/22 id argue they were very similar indeed.

in 2020/21 Bissouma is better at most defensive actions for sure

I'd love to see this with Rice vs SARR

EDIT - After a larger sample size of games

It is absolutely insane how this club is unable to offload players. We have so many players and literally 7 days to accomplish it. We had all fucking summer. Then we have dier just happy to waste a season collecting wages to sit at home.

Thats the trouble though, some of our Highly pampered rejects would rather stay and collect a wage then move on and actually play football, Fair play to Winks for not doing this!
What are the rules around us sending out players out to other clubs , IE we say to Dier you either take the Offer we have for you to go Fulham, or we are sending you to go and play for Wrexham , could the player turn down a loan move if we are paying his wages in full?
 
Dear god would it really cost the club that much to pay off Hugo’s last year and let him sort out his future for himself?
There is no indication this has anything to do with the club interfering. The news a few weeks back was that they aren’t requiring a fee due to his service to the club, and to make it easy for him.

This seems more like Hugo not being happy he isn’t wanted as a first choice at any decent sized club.
 

Conte "liked" Lenglet.
The Frenchman made 35 appearances for THFC last season
Better than the alternatives. Tanganga always injured or out of form. Dier and Sanchez useless. Lot's of issues then and still now.
 
You know even I thought that surely not even Daniel Levy’s Tottenham would be arrogant and incompetent enough to conclude absolutely zero pieces of business after selling our best player for £100m.

But suddenly that seems incredibly realistic.

How, literally how, do you go two weeks after selling Kane and do FUCK ALL not even one bloody outgoing? How? How??????????????
 
Probably to do with the role Bissouma played for Brighton - will be interesting how it compares to his attacking role this season.


This is per 90 Rice vs Bentancur in 2021/22 - not much in it

This is per 90 Rice vs Bentancur in 2022/23 - again not that much in it

Rice sliding further down the “best in the world” table with every passing minute.

Someone needs to do a Rice v Moussa Sissoko one.

More attacking vs more defensive player, no surprise Bentancur wins at take ons, goals assists vs Rice. He is a number 8, maybe a 8/10, he is just not shy at tackling either.

Bissouma vs Rice is interesting, Bissouma always looked better at Brighton than Rice did at West Ham. He is a much better ball player as well as being a hard tackler. However Rice always seems so smart in terms of positioning and off the ball.

Our midfield with Bissouma, Bentancur, Maddison, Lo Celso, Hojbjerg (for now), Skipp, Sarr matches any other team in the league. It’s other areas we have issues.
 
Conte also had a ton of money, he decided we should get Richarlison for 60m and Porro for 40m. The idea that Bastoni was a "proper CB" is a hilarious, he would have had exactly the same issues Lenglet had.

Hilarious that bastoni is on another level to lenglet. Bastoni had an excellent game vs man City. Is highly regarded in italy to this day, and wasn't a player in poor form who a big team were trying to cast off. In fact inter wanted to keep him.

While we are blaming conte for richarlison and porro (who remains a useful player by the way), let's do the same and congratulate him for bissouma, bentancur, romero, and udogie...
