Crazy how we can purchase a player for 80 million (atleast on paper) and have 0 resale value within two years. What a failure of a transfer which I think most fans could see from a mile away. I would've much rather kept Pjanic.

Fair enough, it's a shame we signed such players in the first place. :sergio:

We actually sold this guy :lol: While keeping Arthur and Rabiot :lol:

You're right, but if he gives up his brain to Conte... then who knows. Conte is a magician when it comes to dumb players, Moses and Alonso are testament to that.

He was always capable in tight spaces and a good passer. The problem with him in the last two years has been concentration, decision making and mentality. If Conte can fix him up in those areas then he will be a very good player for Spurs.

I had so much hope for him, really thought he'd be another Marchisio. Hope he improves and reaches a high level. And if anyone can bring that out of him it's Conte.

His development this season has let me down. Must retract my Marchisio comparisons for now.

100% Just trade off a bit of Marchisio's technical ability for Benta's size. 1603007813 From my perspective that season actually marked a turning point in how the football world viewed Marchisio. The fact that Marchisio made it to the 2015 UEFA squad of the season while Pogba and Vidal missed...

I always liked this guy. But please Pirlo play him at the base of midfield.

Bentancur has great passing range. He's pinged far more impressive long balls than Pjanic this season and has some fantastic lifted through ball assists. Two instances which come to mind are his assist to Ronaldo in our 2-1 loss to Napoli and his pass to Dybala in the build up to our second...

Maybe, but there is a usefulness for players with his characteristics in the big games. And he showed that with his performances vs the likes of Madrid, Napoli, Roma and Man City.

Sturaro looked like a stud in 2015. Things may not have panned out for him since. Sturaro had great performances vs the likes of Madrid and Napoli. His toughness and energy is something that is always useful against elite opposition. His lack of technical skill would have been more than...

I sometimes wonder if that game would've been different had Pereyra or Sturaro started in place of Pirlo, with Marchisio at regista.

Bentancur is a very solid B2B midfielder. However, as long as Pjanic is here, I far prefer Bentancur at regista. Bentancur might explode as a B2B midfielder once a proper regista comes in (maybe Arthur or Jorginho?) but for now the make up of the squad and his own skill set makes Bentancur more...

Zaza and Morata was a most unlikely bromance

Regista

Again an amazing performance. But he must be moved to regista. Things were going in the right direction pre quarantine. But it looks like useless Pjanic has somehow regained his spot. What a shame. If Pjanic is starting vs Lyon then we are out.

^^^^Been saying since the summer that he is a regista. ;););););) Glad to know that Sarri has seen the light

That regista position is his now. Pjanic is done out here.

Yeah man he reminds me so much of Marchisio at regista.
