I’m on the fence re Hojbjerg. I agree with many posters that’s he’s an excellent player to bring on to see out a game but he’s a round peg in a square hole when he starts games.
Part of me would keep him as squad player but when I think about it that would leave us with:
Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Skipp and soon to be Bergvall. Plus Lo Celso if he ever stays fit.
Lo Celso may or may not leave in the summer and Hojbjerg is better than Skipp. However, we’re still a quality player light in central midfield and if we manage to sign one that would put Hojbjerg as 5th or 6th choice. If he’s happy being that player then great but under no circumstances should we be keeping him if it thwarts our need to bring in another quality addition to compliment Bissouma, Sarr and Bentancur.
