[Football] Bissouma to Real Madrid

[dazzer6666]

He's been instrumental in our success this season and Last.

It’s only recently that some on here have been blowing his trumpet.

 

[Don Tmatter]

Is Moder his replacement or to play alongside him?

 

[portslade seagull]

Would like to think that Bissouma would not be sold seeing that he is currently our best midfielder. Can see Propper going along with some of the fringe players

 

[um bongo molongo]

To those saying he’s not that good - which England player would be ahead of him if he were English? Better than any current England player in his position. Way better than Rice or Dier for example (I should say for context I believe Rice to be massively overrated though!).

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Naylor is saying as well as rather than replacing Biss.

An incredibly quick progression by BASSouma. Just 15 months ago he was an energetic loose cannon, taking pot shots into row Z, never passing to team mates in over ambitious dribbles.

Now bossing EPL midfield contests, he’s everywhere .... in a positive way.

£60m and not a penny less.

That would only be on the assumption that Albion do not want to sell.

If £47m gets Bruno Fernandes contract then your figure is way off mark.

I'd put it in the 30s with a few add-ons.

Interesting list that. Highlights the likeliood Biss would be in the England squad if he was English IMHO. Way above Doucoure, Ward-Prowse and Anguissa, that's top top work.

Fernandez is now rated the most valuable midfielder in the world, they got a bargain.
Maguire £85m
Pepe £72m

Who knows in the crazy world of football?

And if Real, United and Liverpool genuinely are interested he won't be going for a bargain.

Don't show stats on NSC. They are under the impression Solly March can not play football and it hurts their little heads.

I have no issue with March’s defensive work. In fact I could never work out why Hughton didn’t try him at LB or LWB. My issue with him is in the final third where his doubling back frustrates me, when he does cross he never hits a man with it, and his shooting (one fluke every two years apart) is woeful. He’s the sort of player who’s good enough for a side hovering just above the relegation places, which is us right now. But if we have ambitions to go higher, he’ll need to be upgraded to someone who provides a genuine attacking threat, including more than one or two assists a season.

Maybe this is a string to Graham Potter's bow, something to be celebrated?

I can recall at least one EVIL cross Solly put in against Sheff Utd in the 2nd half - whip, pace, bending away from the keeper just in front of the 6 yard line. Sadly Maupay and Connolly were just stood their on their heels, slack-jawed, watching it fly past them in the box. As usual.

I'm not saying March is the next Ronaldo, but our reliably un-instinctive 'strikers' rarely do him many favours either.

I don’t disagree with this but I’m not sure which of the chicken (shit crosses) and egg (shit movement from the strikers) came first. If I had to capture a Solly cross for eternity though it would be a promising looking ball from a good position that drifts ever so slightly over everyone, without quite enough pace to make it to the touchline. For his shooting, I’d just draw a powder puff.

Well, looking at those two then perhaps I should reconsider my judgment. I'd have Maguire in my team- for a quarter of that...

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Favour with a U please !!

Not if you're in Madrid.

it has to change soon doesn't it .....half the time he looks up and there's no one there and when he does put a beaut in they all miss it ....

Yup. Decent backup for Webster.

Solly put in several quality crosses in the game, no where near their goalie, met with a lack of movment or alertless by our strikers. He's improved his game so much, in the end Sheff Utd had two players on him wherever he operated. On redcafe, they still talk about him tearing Wan-Bissaka apart.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Bissouma go in January. With Moder coming back into an already packed midfield with good players not getting a game, somebody will be off. Given that Moder is supposed to be a defensive midfielder maybe we already see him as a replacement. Maybe if one of these big clubs are interested, and if we have Moder lined up to replace Bissouma then we could see if the deal could involve a swap for a big name striker, someone who normally wouldnt be on our radar.
