It’s a good point, and you then have a very strong player dropping in if you need it.

Think there is a bit of a blind spot with Alzate. He is an excellent prospect, but he is prone to a big mistake per game. I just don’t think Potter feels he can have that much risk in the centre of midfield with Bissouma and Alzate. He wants Bissouma as his risk taker, and he wants dependable...

What can you do? :rolleyes::cool:

Interesting comparison, Tadic made 134 PL appearances in 4 seasons, missing only 18 games across that period. He was a key player under Koeman but under Mark Hughes and Southampton selling many of their key players, he wanted a move back to Holland. As I said above, you don't move to Ajax...

Classic strawman, create an diversion argument that isn’t there. I’ve never once said he’s an ‘excellent’ PL player. I have countered your assertions that he’s ‘mediocre’ or not good enough. You don’t join Ajax if you’re mediocre. If they’re looking at him, which they may well be, then it’s...

‘Mediocre’ Propper is going to join little old 4 times European Champions Ajax. :lolol:

We’re talking in context of our squad, development setup, and transfer and salary limits. At the moment, while Alzate and Bissouma may well take his first choice spots, it isn’t set in stone and Propper is likely still very much in Potter’s thinking. If we’re making moves to be top 10 and elite...

So I gave you a mention above but wouldn’t disagree with your post above. We may we’ll be strong enough in midfield this season that a talented player like Propper isn’t first choice. Still see him having a big part to play though, especially in tactics where we might got to a 3 in CM.

So Jack Cork got 2 goals in 114 apps for Southampton, 2 goals for Swansea in 80 apps, and 3 goals for Burnley in 105 apps. He doesn’t miss a game for Burnley unless suspended or injured. He doesn’t really score or create goals but he is the dynamo of their team. Just because Propper doesn’t do...

Lallana and Gross aren’t competing for a role in the side with Propper imho. We didn’t miss him because we have an excellent squad building, doesn’t make Propper a poorer option due to good quality alternatives. So positives all round. Whether Alzate and Bissouma become first choice remains to...

It’s very revealing really how people watch the game. Propper is without doubt a Potter type player, I just don’t think people realise the work he gets through because it’s the type of football that isn’t on their radar. This isn’t a criticism of said fans, every club has them, the ones who just...
