Yves Bissouma SINGS on a 5 (five) year deal

[Marshy]

I hope you're right re the level of fee but I can't see it being that much. I don't envisage there being a lot of cash floating about this summer.

See I think it will have settled down by summer, no one spent money in Jan, new round of cash will come around, and the top boys will still pay.

We will have to sell 1 maybe 2 of our crown jewels I think. TB cant swallow 65 mill every year.

Bissouma does everything that you want him to do and is well above Brightons level to be honest with you.

Hopefully he smashes one in against them tonight.

Bissouma has proved he is comfortable at Premier League level. He is a great ball-winner, he is strong, his passing is accurate, he helps his defence and good at linking play, but he is not the finished article. He still picks up silly bookings (particularly towards the end of matches), his shooting from distance is hit and miss.

If he was English I think he'd be breaking into the England squad and putting pressure on Jordan Henderson for his place. It is a shame he is unlikely to be going head to head with him in midfield tonight.

I don’t think a couple of his bookings this season were bookings at all. He won the ball both times, he is just so strong that players he’s tackling go down like a sack of spuds.

When is lad's contract up? Surprised we haven't got him to sign a new deal, even if we do plan to sell him in the summer.

Very poor the last two games, need him back to form for the run in.

Also, he needs to stop shooting.

Can you blame him? Nobody else can score.

Sometimes you have to take take things into your hands.

Sadly that’s where we are at right now.

I don't think blasting the ball into row z will help us score. If he wants to help us in the final 3rd, he could improve his passing.

Blimey. When fans start turning on Biss you know there's something up.

I wonder if he's got a pre agreement to leave, given a couple of half arsed performances and the way Naylor/The Argus have been pushing stuff about us selling in the summer

No player is immune to criticism, especially one who has the worst shooting accuracy in the league.

This did cross my mind a bit. Barber has also alluded to letting players pursue their ambitions to show potential signings that Albion are a good stepping stone for those on their way to the top.

Biss has cruised through the last 2-3 games, albeit by his very high standards. Either this or he’s tired. I wonder if giving Moder a chance in the team would give Biss the rest or kick up the backside he needs.

Have never quite agreed with the hype on here but no doubt huge improvement on Stevens in defensive role. His ball winning and forward runs have been outstanding. It is up to Potter to pick him up as no doubt had 2 poorish games. On Saturday was no more then Stevenish just very easy passing and few forward runs.
Until he took over present role I thought with his skill and williness to shoot was a natural to do the attacking midfield role

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Bissouma isn't anywhere near the levels he has been, but he hasn't been poor in comparison to others. He's our most naturally talented player and we need him back to his best. But he isn't the reason we aren't winning games

Do you still misspell his name on our purpose or are you just thick?

Not getting the Bissouma ‘hype’ would point to the latter.

I have speculated here that the strange way Ben White suddenly replaced Biss who was dropped to the bench for the Leeds game, may have been a testing of the water.

He's been fine. Yes he takes a few bad shots every now and then when he shouldnt, however the main reason his shooting accuracy is poor is because most of the shots he takes is to prevent counter-attacks. Corner or set piece is headed away, ball goes out to Bissouma, if there is no immediate alternative to pass to or if its not 100% sure to turn around and play it backwards, he is going to take the shot just to prevent the counter. As you know I'm a critic of the goal scoring abilities of the midfield but Bissoumas accuracy is nothing I think too much about.

That is an interesting tactic, blast it into row z to stop a team from counter attacking.

Its not beautiful but once in a while its much preferable to the risk of losing the ball in dangerous areas.
