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

[WATFORD zero]

All players are passing through and using clubs as a stepping stone. Dunk didn’t think ten years ago that he would spend his career at the Albion. It’s just how it worked out. We got better and better and matched his improvement. If at any point he had outpaced us he would have gone. You don’t get to keep players who are at a higher level. We have now reached a point where the jump to the next level is the most difficult of the lot.

I agree with all of that except that Dunk outpaced us and should have gone 3 years ago. If Arsenal had signed him then, they wouldn't have had to pay as much as they did for White and would have had far more points in the seasons in between. I really think he was an opportunity missed by the top teams, but I am so glad he was.

Having him in his prime has been so important to us, and I absolutely love seeing us captained by a local lad

How very elegantly judged, and put

Absolute plum (Richard) on 606 moaning about Bissouma sale without seeming to realize he had one year left. Neither Savage or Sutton seem to realize either. Oh well. Wankers.

I’ve certainly been disappointed with the amount of financial illiteracy from a number of our fans on social media. £35m is not cheap considering his value would be £0 to us next June having refused to sign a new contract. It’s not really that complicated is it?

Pretty crucial to our survival in PL .

I find the whole fan obsession with transfer fees quite weird tbh. If we had sold Bissouma for £100m there’s still no guarantee we would sign a ready made player for £30 m or whatever it might be.

It's very simple, people. Trust Tony. The man's a genius.

Unlike Barbie who's been sidelined in all club activity until we return and need antagoning.

£35M - or £25M? We don't know - but that £10M is one hell of a difference!

Depends on the rest of the deal. Fact is it doesn’t matter to us.

Fukken Spurs have done brilliantly here. Bissy will transform their midfield.

I wish him well because he deserves a shot 'up the table'.

Fair play to the club for not tricking him onto a long contract and lying to him about letting him go. He moves in his prime and will get CL exposure. The complete opposite of how Beaky treated Dibley.

It’s a good match and Conte is going to make Spurs a proper team next season. Albion come out of the deal showing themselves as a very good stepping stone to champions league football with little fuss when the opportunity presents itself for a player. As long as we keep getting those players in (I’ve got a feeling kozlovski is the next one after caicedo) we should be continue to punch above our financial weight.

I wonder whether we will replace Bissouma with an out and out defensive midfielder? I know we have players that that fill in that slot but no one who you could say that it’s their natural position.
If we do I reckon the most likely is Mohamed Camara at RB Salzburg. Approaching last year of his five year contract and a Malian international. Would be known by Bissouma through the national team and Mwepu through his club. Looks very dynamic and just the type of player at just 22 that we would go for.

Transfermarkt think that he extended his contract in 2020 until 2025.

Still a very good shout though.

Just like the Godfather film and hold a gun to his head and assure him if doesn't sign it his brains will be splattered all over it ?

He (or his agent) or both were never going to sign another contract as he has earned a better playing deal.

Good luck and will be interesting see how he progresses in a team with far better players than us albeit we have beaten them twice now in the Premier League.

Like for like How many of the spurs team are better than ours ?
I will concede that Son and Kane are

On paper or transfer wise most of them, however which turn up on the day we play them is another thing entirely

Most of them on their day, they had one of those when they blew us away in the cup

Position by position
Lamptey over Royale
Dunk over Dier
Sanchez over Loris debatable due to his Trophy’s but he’s ageing /diminishing in ability
Cucurella over sessignon

Barcelona have made a £34.4m offer for Robert Lewandowski.

Let's nip in with the Bis money (+ maybe a little more) and bring him to the Albion instead! Wages may be a problem of course
