[Albion] Bissouma (Gone to Spurs 17/06/2022)

[GoingUp]

Welbeck and Lallana come under homegrown talent which is handy but more importantly they have an extensive winning mentality and tons of trophies in their cabinet and played with a whos, whos in football...... which must have given our relegation fighting players a massive boost. They have been worth every penny for that alone.

Bissouma has done less than our players since he left! I would love him to come back to us with a trophy one day but can't see Spurs winning anything anytime soon.

The timing of Biss's injury is even more unfortunate for him, Bentancur has done his ACL so Biss would have been first choice for the rest of the season. Not having a lot of luck this season.

Bad news for Spurs all round.

And, as a consequence, good news for those seeking to get above them in the PL. Worth adding that Lloris is also out for a while (6 weeks?), and Forster is a great big lump that can't get down to make saves, as he very ably demonstrated against Leicester.

Good news though potentially for Brighton !

If Moises goes should we put in a cheeky bid?? Might fancy leaving for European football

He looked back to close to his best for Spurs the other day. He'd be a very useful squad player.

Oof

 

[The Optimist]

I wonder what he thinks of his decision to leave now?

As he dives like Scrooge McDuck into his massive pile of money, I’m sure he can live with it

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Certainly a mere shadow of the player we sold to Tottenham, and seemingly no more than a bit part player in their squad at the moment..

Their best player against Brentford. By some distance.

Haven't they been playing him out of position though? Or they were under Conte.

Which says it all really. Spurs have been absolutely dire this season.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'd definitely have him back if he was available for what we paid for him, but not as a direct replacement for Caicedo as he just isn't as good as him. Biss is a very good PL level player, whereas Caicedo is extraordinary. Would be shocked if he doesn't end his career with numerous top flight titles and Champions League titles.

I say this as a Biss fanboy who had his name on last season's shirt (yeah I know, present from my wife because I was going on about how great Bissouma is constantly for a while).

 

[Jesus Gul]

I'd love Biss back. Zaha did alright for that lot up the road after a brief dalliance with a Big 6 team.

 

[brighton_tom]

Its pretty clear that Bissouma's confidence was totallly eroded under Conte, and when used he was being asked to play a really limited role in their midfield. Dont move out of the defensive third, dont be over elaborate with the ball, just tackle and pass the guy next to you. You saw him have a more free role in their Brentford game, and was very decent. Im sure you'll see more of the old Biss now Conte is gone and he's recovered from injury.

They were prepared to match the silly wages tho !

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

If we got £80m for Moises would you have Biss back for £40m?

 

[Jesus Gul]

probably a wise investment seeing as he's carried them for so long

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Wages, as ever, would be the issue. We'd have to match or beat what Spurs were paying, which I guess would make him our highest earner.

While he isn't the player Caicedo is, he does have the same ability to cover the ground and get out a telescopic leg to retrieve a ball it seemed impossible to get. He is as close to a direct replacement that we could find.

It seems wildly unlikely though
