Need more of that kind of "1 year early" transfer success. Hopefully Micky and Soloman fall in that category, as well.Basically bought a £125m midfielder for £25m last year.

got to be one of the biggest bargains in the last 5 yearsBasically bought a £125m midfielder for £25m last year.
Guarantee it’s bissouma’s dribbling in our own half that conte hated.
Conte was risk averse to a fault.
Yeah that rigid, cowardly plodder - exactly who I meant. Danish Michael Brown minus the tackling
Holding the ball and committing players thru skill. There’s no place for such skill sets in automation dinosaur ball
Hojbjerg cowardly, seriously?
I wasn't convinced when I saw Biss last year, despite being excited about his signing. Largely down to what looked to be a lack of off the ball movement.
This season I've enjoyed watching him play and the skill set that he brings. What I've seen this season and particularly yesterday was a strong athletic ability to carry the ball, a bit of swagger and skill to get out of tight spaces and a positive forward looking player.
I'm happy to see him doing well.

Crimes to football definitely.
I don't think I've ever seen a DM with the same level of dribbling ability. Mattheus, Beckenbauer, Pirlo, Vieira and Kante were all great dribblers but were they up to this level (purely on dribbling)?
Would legitimately be the best DM/CM in the world if he could do that.
Biss & Madz double-act, innit.... + Romero bringing the straight-up gangsta-ism.
Should be an actual interpol warrent put on Wiggy for crimes against football.
Yes he absolutely could be. I know it's hard to look beyond appearance but he frequently ducked physically challenges and lacked bravery on the ball. He's a good pro but he's not the 'warrior' you think. I say this a match going fan who fully drank the kool Aid then started watching him both off and on the ball. It was like have a blindfold removed. He is no Romero who is brave to the point of reckless. Hojbjerg is a much better offensive player than defensive I think I an odd way he is victim to his own image.

He's the one that could be spectacularly massive. He could also be a spectacular flop. We'll see.
On the ball, yes. Off the ball, yes. I despair at some of our fans, simply don’t get it
For 15M he won’t be a speculator flop - even if he doesn’t start a game, someone will buy him for 10M
I'd be shocked if he flops and we move him for that much. But even then it won't be a spectacular flop, very run of the mill but I was aiming for consistency.

He's got such a Dembele vibe (I'm sure I've commented that somewhere when we first got him), looks almost slow in his dribbling but just glides past people like they're not there. Not as silky but overall a much better player.
So far it hasn't quite lead to the solo goal he obviously wants, but deeper in midfield it absolutely shreds opposition press and even positional discipline. What's the point of blocking the passing lanes to the forwards when he can just dribble straight down the middle and then deliver the pass when someone has to move up to engage him.
Glad I found this clip.

Johnson pass was good but this pass was just awesome.
