Bissouma should have been good straight away but instead he spent month's learning the Conte 'system' and is now a pale shadow of the player he was at Brighton.
Seems utterly bizarre to me that we were crying out for a player just like Bissouma to make up for the lack of pressing up front, then when we got him Conte decided to play him as a holding midfielder when he is essentially an 8. To compound that he then decides to play Skipp (who is first and foremost a 6) as a wide right midfielder. This is like buying an Airfix model of a Spitfire and trying to make it into a submarine. I'd like us to get Porro though because he really should be a good fit straight off the bat.
