I would like Hojbjerg sold and this lad is undoubtedly better. I can’t understand how having this type of player fits in with us playing more attacking football.
Tell them we won’t buy Lenglet if they go for amrabat
He’s quality
I imagine a Pivot with a couple of maddisons in front of him (kind of like ManU play Casimiro with Bruno and Eriksen), he knows and plays his position really well, can drop back and make a 3 if needed, Hojbjergs like a headless chicken in comparison imo.
Why’s that? Genuine question.
Do we have holding midfielders? I think Skipp is the only one I'd class as that. Hojbjerg doesn't have the mobility or awareness to play the role effectively and his best game is further up the pitch. Bissouma is also someone who likes to press further forwards, and bit like Kante. I think a player like Amrabat makes a huge amount of sense because they'll get the best out of the other midfielders we already have like Bents and Bissouma. Whether he's a priority depends on how the manager wants to play
If we were to sell Hojbjerg, for example, along with a few of the loanees, especially for an important role in the team, I could see that we would. If Ange wants a single pivot 3 man midfield, then he’d be a very good option to spend money on. He’s not £40million apparently, more around £20-30million.
