For those who missed it, here's Hojbjerg talking on a podcast with Andy Brassell ,couple of months back....

If anybody out there thinks his mentality is overstated listen from 18 minutes. He speaks like a retired footballer.

If he has half the influence James Milner has had at Pool I'll be very happy.

You've got to think, if two of the greatest managers of the last 20 years rate this guy he can't be as bad as the salty saints fans are making out.

Be interesting to see what they had to say when VVD went to Liverpool (but not interesting enough to try to find out).

I think Potl was a decent itk, and his 'blue and yellow' cryptic is legendary (in a somewhat ironic way). Funny that JJ figured out who he was and then he went silent lol.

well happy with this signing. I always liked seeing what he did on the pitch for southampton and to be a captain at such a young age plus he properly talks and organises everyone around him. His tackling, control and decent passing always looked good as well. Southampton are a decent team but i think he will look great at spurs sitting deeper and passing the ball about to the players who will get up the pitch more. Nice to also see a deal being completed early.

Not top of my wishlist. But certainly a much needed acquisition for the position we've been crying out for.

Ibrahim Sangaré and Tonali were a couple that I thought could come in and do a job. Creative to boot.

That said, more than happy with the whole deal. Looks good business, and the fact he is prem proven is not to be ignored.

Add to this we've got him in early. Good stuff.

Being Greek I’m more than used to a horrible spelling, and having an unusual name myself I know I appreciate it when people take care with it (my first name is unusual whether speaking to Greeks or English). However, it’s really not worth getting irate about. Most people (myself included) make simple spelling and grammar mistakes in their own language on a regular basis, so unusual names in different languages with strange accented letters aren’t going to be a priority, and that’s fine. Life’s too short to get wound up by someone spelling it Hoyberg.
There’s fuckall wrong with BringBack, sunshine. I’ve known at least three in my lifetime
