Player Watch Player Watch: Yves Bissouma

[Khilari]

Stress fracture of the shin or something, wasn't it?

Ankle!

 

[coy-spurs1882]

Him and Bentacur in our midfield could be very special!

Add a playmaker like Maddison and we may become good again

Yup. I cannot see us getting him though. I think lo celso with a fully fit Benta and biss would be a decent midfield

Not based on anything I've seen in the last 3 years. We can't be starting the season with Lo Celso in the first team.

 

[Tarricko]

ffs I despair if anyone is seriously thinking Lo Celso is an option for next season.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

I'm still so excited by this signing if I'm completely honest. We have a seriously good player there if he recaptures his Brighton form. Can't wait to see him be able to play with a bit more freedom and in an attacking side.

100% never doubted him, just not being used correctly.

Lo Celso, Bissouma and Bentancur in a high energy high pressing posession based system could work very well.

Lo Celso is another who's not been used properly at all.

Ndombele needs to go because of his fitness and attitude but if we want to play nice pass and move football Lo Celso could certainly have some use.

Just watched a reel on him. I forgot how brilliant he was fir Brighton. Extremely Dembelesque

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

he played us three times last season and he was man of the match twice cant wait for him to play with Bents consistently

 

[spursfan77]

That video of the cut on his ankle for the operation is pretty severe. As much as we'd love him back I think I would now prefer it if he came back ready for next season. We haven't seen the best of him and he will need a bit of time to get Conte's game out of his head and get back to the player we saw at Brighton who was very very good.

I agree with this, my only concern (and I’m not expert) is that would the team be defensively stable enough with him and Bentencur? Do they provide enough cover to the back line? Would love to see us go 4231 with Bentencur, Biss and say Maddison. Skip, Sarr and (don’t shoot me) Ndombele as cover..

Yes, took a while for him to be trained into the Conte system, before he was allowed on the pitch, hopefully the long layoff has got that out of his system.

 

[Monkey boy]

Be like a new signing next season hopefully.

 

[HildoSpur]

He is a very good player who just has had a season to forget and injuries. Will be like a new signing next season and hopefully our new coach can get the best out of him because on his day he is one of the best midfielders in the league.

Got a feeling he’ll be over the moon Conte has gone. If he’s over his injury, which looks worse than we were led to believe then he will be a real asset next season.

 

[Saoirse]

Why is everyone suddenly hyped again? I can't remember him having a single good game pre injury

In his whole career, or playing in dogshite Conte system where he's asked to just recycle the ball and nothing else?

Bentancur managed to look a hell of a lot better in the exact same system.

 

[HildoSpur]

Bentancur managed to look a hell of a lot better in the exact same system.

Because he is more suited to that system than Bissouma and he had a long run of games?

 

[Guntz]

He was up there with Rice as the best midfielder outside of the top 6 when we bought him.

Don't have any worries.
