I get the "Shady" part now.
I see we've reached that part of the debate where you're deflecting from your own weak argument and speaking nonsense once again
Have a good day mate.
Bergvall was promised being part of the first team squad.
Add to that all the PR stuff for a 17 year old.
He's not going on loan next season.
His second red was also extremely harsh judged against some others
We can only hope his “luck” changes now and he can get back to entertaining fans with the way he plays football
Google searches suggested to me that those brought up in malaria plagued areas such as Mali might get over malaria in say 2 weeks, although it will impact on fitness which as an athletic footballer its effects on Bissouma is a concern.
Malaria is also known to recur, again a concern
Only good news is that malaria is NOT transmitted by human contact, so no isolation necessary.
The 'tightness around thigh' is as big a concern to me as anything as its been 'tight' enough for well over a week that Mali didn't start him.
All in all I think its 50/50 whether we see Bissouma on the bench (as Mali did) or a complete rest to get over things as Spurs will look after long term of Bissouma whereas Mali might only be thinking of a couple of matches forward at AFCON.
True, but all clubs will be able to find one player's card being more harsh than another.
Players need to give their all, but do so that they are on the right side of being carded. Once is unlucky, twice in a short time might be careless ?
I'd wait until end of his current loan before assessing Devine and making an assumption.
If its another loan we need to find a club where he'd be playing against higher level of players so that he'd learn something new. At Port Vale (L1) he was finding it too easy, and rated as one of Vale's best players consistently, Plymouth in Championship is a level above but in first couple of matches he seems to be coping very well so by rest of season he might have 'done' the Championship level, so only loan he'd learn much from might be a lower kevel PL club.
But if he does finish the Plymouth loan well he'd have a solid season at L1/Championship level which is similar experience to Wharton (£22m to Palace) had, albeit all in Championship. And to add to the Wharton comparison, Devine has been a constant in England youth whereas Wharton has been in and out of squads for example missing out on E u19 who won youth world cup last year. Whereas Devine despite being played out of his best positions as a RW was one of best performers for E u19's.
If Bergvall goes on loan its unlikely he ever becomes HG/Club trained for UEFA purposes. I'd hope we bought him as we think his experience in top Swedish league is similar to which he'd get at L1 in England or even Championship. There's a couple of Sweden internationals in March and June which might be a good judge as to where the national team coaches think he is, as well as Ange looking at him in pre-season.
Twice? also unlucky.
Becoming a mess? The mess kicked in around the same time as the fall-out form the chav game and was compounded by cards, further injury and AFCON........ The MF has been in turmoil since game 8 or 9 of the season.
We're only just getting players back....
Bentancur been out for virtually a year and had 1 good game in 3
Maddison finding his feet again.
Sarr half a game.
Rather than the start of a mess we (hopefully) should be finally seeing the return to a settled MF line-up.

That's something that a lot of fans could do with repeating over and over until they get it through their skulls...
Maybe a symptom of over-exposure of football with endless analysis to minute detail, but any goal against must see blame apportioned to someone, whilst at the other end every attack that doesn't end in a goal is due to a poor decision or someone f***ing up an opportunity.
If all of these purists who think everything should be perfect got their way then you'd just see a bunch of 0-0 scorelines.
The same manager that just this weekend criticised the refs for expecting VAR to do their job for them?
Didn't he literally say we had to accept his the decision in the same press conference?
Fucking arm chair experts deciding it's "stupid" or "completely unacceptable", and "he's a liability" because mistakes happen with people playing a sport at speed faster than most of them will lazershit the curry they ate whilst watching the game.
Hollow platitude obv given the comment I pointed out.
when does 'unlucky' start to become the normal 'ooh I picked up a red card for only the 1,000'th this season ?'
Not sure he was criticising the refs anyway, think his gripe was more against VAR
All part of the same mechanism..... That being the officiating.
...And even if he didn't intend it; what he said is still an indictment of the on-field ref's.

Yeah maybe, anyway my overarching point is that the refs are always gonna be inconsistent and bias in some respect, what can we do to change the narrative? Not give them an excuse to be like that and we certainly don't need to act like diving on a booking is being hard done by.
