Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[ButchCassidy]

Well he ain't going to Fulham

They were mad for considering selling him on deadline day - the gap between them and relegation is not as big as they think it is IMO.

 

[spursfan77]

Come on lads, get on with it!

 

[y1dk1d]

Don’t see him leaving today

Poosticks come on Athletico! we gave you Bloody Matt Doherty you owe us.

 

[bbunc]

Well, at least we got Johnson (knock on wood)

 

[Metalhead]

I can understand it if he doesn't like a proposal or the club isn't offered a reasonable fee but it's a shame where players will be left hanging around the club with limited playing time and no future at the club.

Trippier too.

Keeping him around until January, giving Bentancur a few months to get up to speed, would not be a terrible outcome.

 

[Danny1]

Good luck getting in the Danish squad without playing any football Pierre.

Yea not terrible but Gallagher would be one hell of an upgrade and so suited to Ange's style of football so shame if we can’t get this sorted out.

So, who would Gallagher start instead of then ?

In the first instance I would imagine he will play infront of Sarr but ultimately we we will have the following as rotation:

Bissouma - Skipp
Bentancur - Gallagher - Sarr
Maddison - Lo Celso

I think it’s one too heavy personally and would allow Lo Celso to go as I think Bentancur could play there if need be, however we know how important the midfield positions are in our Ange team. There will need to be a lot of rotation and also the fact that both Biss & Sarr could miss up to 4 league games to the AFCON.

We have also heard that the reps of PEH have been told he will see minimal minutes if he stays.

Not really up to him is it? Atletico aren’t paying and Fulham don’t need him now.

 

[AJW]

guessing they were low balling. Frustrating

Crazy that Atelti where supposedly keen all summer then last minute decided not to pay the fee. My assumption is that they didn't get the money they were hoping from Felix, from everything i've seen Barca got very favourable terms.

 

[wiggo24]

Shame he wouldn't go to Fulham, but imagine that might be us done for the day.

I think we will still try for a CB until late but yeah I think its unlikely this + Conner comes back into contention.

They thought we’d be desperate to get him out at the end and while we are, we were never going to sell for cheap just because it’s us.

 

[dimiSpur]

Sounds like Atletico tried to low ball Levy. Was never going to end well.

I always find it amusing how clubs just leave things to get so frantic on deadline day and rush about like headless chickens.

 

[spursfan77]

Shame if he doesnt go, we wont get much over £10 million for him next summer.
