Nice.
Poor old Daniel won't know what to do with himself on deadline day.

Once again we have signed a CM that gives us something very different to what we already have. It's a great strategy.

Our CM had been such a weakness since the time we had Wanyama and Dembele. If we add an attacking CM into the mix, we will have a great range.

My favourite PL midfielder & easily one of the best.

Heck yeah!!!

We played Brighton 3 times last season. I had him MoTM in all 3.

I like how Bissouma maintains stability and strength on either side; we have players who favour one side but are often bullied or are not good enough in possession to keep the ball. Bissouma owns it, and he can play too.

You could also say that he's most definitely a statement signing, along with Perisic.

Steve, when you look around the dressing room, we were missing presence players in midfield, and at WB, we now have two new signings filling those voids.

We dont have anyone like this lad. Neither Hoj or Skip have his physicality. They win the ball through grit and move it. This lad can win it by overpowering players but can also then find the legs to carry it and move it. Very interested to see how Bentankur fits in because he has guile and ability to maintain possession. We have a lot of different options now, Conte will truly be able to rest players who dont play at maximum capacity.

 

[Topspur1]

Absolutely thrilled about Basouma, but for me Peretic could be the more important signing.
His mentality is what we've been missing, between him and Conte we have every chance of changing the mentality of the club.

I am interested how Yves will be deployed. He looks like he will take the pressure off our CBs, so do we still need 3 of them ? Would we be better with 3 in MF ?

 

[Topspur1]

I'm going to have to get to grips with the correct spelling of these names.

 

[Pompey Yid]

Welcome Yves Bissouma, your a Yid now, First name capital Y, yep your one of us. well played that man!

I just get the feeling with Bissouma that we have purchased our most influential and important midfielder since the legendary and much missed Dembele. He will be such an asset for winning the ball, his hold up play, his distribution and a plus over Dembele, he scores goals too! A great addition!

I'm with you. We will do well to find a more influential signing than this one even if we spend £60m on a player. I feel way more confident that we will be able to win midfields, especially in early phases of games where we have regularly started poorly.

I really hope he has some leadership qualities as well. We need someone who is going to be the boss man.

If as suggested we follow up our interest in Richarlison i'm fine with that. Alongside our other new recruits i'd expect him to flourish. It's how much we're willing to spend on him that could prove to be the stumbling block.

 

[TQ2Spurs]

I'm not convinced Richarlison would be a good signing, too inconsistent and his temperament often gets the better of him.
