Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

[DJS]

Awesome to have this confirmed!

Still found it weird we left Winks with 8 then he went on loan so it was empty all last year, but at least he has it now!

I'd make him captain if Kane leaves. He is increasingly becoming the obvious choice.

A no for me. To be a captain you need to deliver on the pitch first. I am excited to see him this season but first he needs to make his starting spot his.
Guess Sonny would be captain if Kane leaves. Not that I think it would be a perfect match either.

Yeah personally don't think Sonny's an ideal pick, but I'm 95% sure he'd be given it for symbolic/experience purposes even if he's not the most natural, vocal leader.

He's been at the club for ages, has captained us before, captains South Korea, and Ange has openly waxed lyrical about how highly respected Son is throughout the group and how he ties the group together by being mates with everyone.

No give it to Cuti, he would probably two foot the oppo Captain at the coin toss

Really good to see Bissouma an integral part of the team, I think he will settle in very quickly. Would avoid giving him the Captaincy for the moment so he can concentrate on himself first.

 

[sundanceyid10]

He is going to beast mode it this season

Hope so I think the best of him is still to come.

 

[CanadaSpurs]

That’s the premier league font on the shirt

Right you are, and it ended up being a still from the official announcement video .

 

[Syn_13]

Club making a thing about this and having feature a lot on social media means that we've got high expectations of him. Clearly Ange must see him as being a key player in the squad. He was fantastic at Brighton and we've only sees glimpses of that so far. Looking forward to seeing him play this season.

Did he have an injury today?

Strange he didn't play at all. Assumed he was a nailed on starter.

I think he's starting v barca. It was about minutes today. Perhaps they feel he's fit enough to recover by Sunday, and some aren't.

 

[Danny1]

Got a knock in training.

 

[Johnny J]

He offers a lot more than Hojbjerg and his fitness and form will be critical to our success this season. Particularly with Bentancur out.

missed that

 

[bubble07]

Hopefully we see him in action tonight

missed that

 

[delawarespur]

Was fantastic

 

[Joe Bjorn Hotspur]

Also showing leadership as well in tonight’s game: you can tell that the likes of Sarr look up to him. Very strong and some might disagree but he could be that Dembele replacement we’ve missed. Please stay fit

 

[delawarespur]

Was fantastic

Would like to add, it’s his ball mastery and carrying that is really useful against teams who will press us. I’ve said before I honestly don’t have a preference between him and Højbjerg, but these characteristics make me rethink things and are probably necessary as we’re gonna be facing a lot more teams this season that press like Barca as opposed to lion city/shakhtar/west ham (under Moyes).

He is a rolls Royce of a player. I watched that thinking peak Barca would love to sign him.

Just so composed and happy to take the ball any where. Not to dog on hojbjerg too much but bissouma does all the things that hojbjerg doesn't that makes him such a frustrating player. So much composure on the ball and confidence to take it on in any position on the pitch.

 

[mil1lion]

His footwork in close quarters really impressed me tonight. I didn't know he could move his feet so quick with the ball. I honestly think a midfield of Bissouma, Bentancur and Maddison could be one of the best midfield in Europe.
