Jose will probably have to experiment a bit but I agree, PEH is going to add some steel and protect the defence to allow those in front to attack more.

I thought ND was supposed to be leaving...knowing Levy that won’t happen until the end of the window so that he can plead poverty during any other player acquisitions and then sell ND to achieve zero net spend....either way I don’t see ND figuring in our team next season.

I can see Hoji losing his shit with Serge, Sissoko and Ndombele. Two dumb footballers and one lazy one.
But the prospect of Hoji, Ndombele, Lo Celso is mouth watering. I can't see Ndombele staying though. Levy will want to break even or make some money this transfer window.

We agree on most things RD, especially Levy and ENIC.

Well he's saying all the right things.
Level headed, ambitious and a motivated leader. Now...we need about 7 more of these.

A showdown is coming; there is supposed to be one scheduled for the return to training at @20th...it's said the club (note not Jose) is determined to keep him.
Hoji is a leader, a vocal one, something we have lacked for sometime.

Lloris, Dier, Hojbjerg, Kane. That's not a bad spine of leaders, potentially 4 captains there throughout the team.

Lloris and Kane are too quiet at times, despite Lloris's cameo with Son, I much prefer our leaders to be in the thick of the action- hopefully, not in saving us!

Dier isn't good enough to be starting. He might become good enough but he ain't there yet.
As others have said Dier should concentrate on his own game and weaknesses before shouting the odds at everyone else.

For me, the 16/17 team is still streets ahead. To get back up to that level there is a bunch of ifs....
Dier stepping up
Sess and Tanganga making the grade
New RB
Getting the old Dele back
Ndombele becoming the player
For me, too many ifs to really believe we can get back up over 85 points again. I am optimistic though as we have a better manager in charge this time around.

True it could quite easily go the other way. Our lads are quite clicky so it may take time. I think he will be fine. Most players will like and respect his work rate on the pitch.

Good. It's not before time somebody did.

It won't take long I betcha....as we currently do not have a leader in any shape or form...not as if he will be ousting anyone currently doing that role...

With Hoj' believe we have got an excellent BOGOF deal here, 1 a "kick yer Granny" DM and 2 a leader on the pitch, future captain, all rolled into one, how long have we fans been screaming out for those 2 types of player.

I can imagine the scene now. Son and Moura are caught cheating their defensive duties and the opposition scores with Sissoko caught out on the right wing and Aurier caught walking back as the ball hits the net.
Hojberg loses the plot Roy Keane style with the 4 of them and needs constraining by Kane, Lloris, Davies and Dier.
It won't happen a second time :-)
