Think conte has left him off the leash a bit like the Denmark manager does he’s actually a very good footballer all round but just lacks that top level dynamism
Wow - comparing Roy Keane to PEHHojbjerg reminds me of Roy Keane, an incredible leader, massive engine, puts his body on the line, capable of good passes but his technique lacking to be consistent. His leadership skills are wasted in this squad sometimes, Dier, Davies, Kane, Lloris, Son run the dressing room and have been here longer so it's difficult for PEH to be the dominant figure but if we had a weaker team, he would boss this football team.
Manchester United should have spent 70m on Hojbjerg instead of wasting it on an older Casemiro.
Not sure if PEH had gone to United or if we would have sold him to a rival but he would help change the culture of Manchester United.
Wow - comparing Roy Keane to PEH
Keane was one of the greats - by comparison PEH is an ok player
You don't think he can be a leader in our dressing room because of Dier, Davies, Kane, Lloris, Son (none of whom are massive personalities) but he could help change the culture at a club that has Ronaldo? They also have a bunch of players that cost loads/earn loads/have been there a long time/have way bigger egos than our squad.Hojbjerg reminds me of Roy Keane, an incredible leader, massive engine, puts his body on the line, capable of good passes but his technique lacking to be consistent.

Hojbjerg is a leader for Spurs, hes one of a few players Conte wants out there almost every minute of every game but all our boys are nice boys, Hojbjerg doesn't have to challenge anything. The dressing room at Spurs has been in good order since Pochettino first arrived.You don't think he can be a leader in our dressing room because of Dier, Davies, Kane, Lloris, Son (none of whom are massive personalities) but he could help change the culture at a club that has Ronaldo?

I love how good you think PEH is but I personally don’t think he can tie the laces of a player like Roy KeaneI love Roy Keane as a person and a player but his talent was his drive, combativeness, leadership and stamina. PEH is excellent at all those facets of the game. Keanes influence wasn't with skill or quality on the ball like Hojbjerg. PEH is a bit of a throwback.
PEH could play for any team apart from Man City, although Guardiola loved him at Bayern. Those Real Madrid links earlier in the year weren't by coincidence as well.
I don't think we quite realise how good Hojbjerg is, and at Spurs we want all our midfielders to be slick on the ball, but at the same time I understand he's not going to win any team the league. He could be a workhorse for any team in the world though and boss a lot of midfields.
Agreed. To be fair, there were few others I've ever seen who could own a pitch through sheer force of will and determination. He must have been an absolute **** to play against, but it's what made him eliteI love how good you think PEH is but I personally don’t think he can tie the laces of a player like Roy Keane
I remember going to Old Trafford many years ago in an FA Cup tie and for about 30mins we probably had the better of it. Suddenly Keane decided that this was bollox and it was HIS pitch
The game was over from that point. PEH can’t do that

I’d image Dave Mackay was similar…Agreed. To be fair, there were few others I've ever seen who could own a pitch through sheer force of will and determination. He must have been an absolute **** to play against, but it's what made him elite
