Yves Bissouma

I'll always remember Biss for winning us the EL. Our best player through those final 3 important rounds and absolutely superb in the final. Easily, he was the MOTM.

Such a shame he wasn't a great professional though. Unlucky with things like COVID and Malaria, but definitely not unlucky for his misdemeanours.

He had a good game, but Richie did more than every other player on the pitch combined in that game.

It was a perfect 67 minute forward performance.

Romero, Vicario and Spence for the ext door next please

Spence???????? OK his game can be up and down but at his best surely he is good enough?

He is a bad apple according to some people and therefore needs to be cleared from the changing room. It is a personality thing rather than an ability thing. He refused to shake Franck's hand or something so should be binned.

Don't see it myself, know he had issues in France and on loan.

No a priority to sell him. But if he has a good World Cup his value will peak and in a season without Europe if Porro is your first choice you could get a back up in with more potential long term.

Don’t think it’s based on that at all. At least not anymore.

Spence offers very little going forward. He is really good at defending one on ones but the rest of his game is weak for the level we want to be at. Specifically his positioning on the box is terrible and loses his man on a regular basis which cost us a ton of points over the past 2 seasons.

I’m not saying we should sell Spence. It’s not a priority to upgrade at RB. But there is a reason why 4 1/2 managers have favoured Porro & Udogie over him and a reason why Porro is linked with moves to elite teams.

Always been a BS rhetoric here though, especially recently. Done very well.

There was more to Bissouma than what we got.

As others have said, played a part in the EL win, and had his moments, but it should have been more.

Best of luck to him

The gap between a technically strong good Premierleague player like him and a one that’s considered world class will be as much to do with what’s going on in their head as anything else.

Similar players in a similar position. Bentaleb & Dembele. In Pochettino first season Bentaleb was the starting over Dembele who was a player that has great games and moments but was very inconsistent. By the following season Dembele found that consistency and Bentaleb was on his way out of the club and never really fulfilled the potential he showed when he first broke in to the side.

We literally had this conversation on here (not with you) at the end of the season and people were saying he was a poor character and needed getting rid of, quoting the situation where he 'snubbed' Franck's handshake as evidence of his poor attitude. Nothing to do with his quality.

79 games for us over the past two season, averaging about 70 minutes an appearance, isn't too shabby for being 3rd choice.

Apart from the balloons (twice) and general insubordination.

Definite bad apple. Bye bye.
