Think the story came from the mirror mate so chances are it’s bollocks. Can’t remember the last time they ever got anything Spurs-related correct.
Good player that Bruno guy. You lot managed to sign a good midfielder from Lyon, we signed a fat mess for £55m and then loaned him back to them two and a half years later.
In the evidence so far he's a very good player. It won't surprise me if he gets a life threatening injury.
He's one of those players who the fans think is much better than he is. Certainly a top half player (unlike Winks) but a distance off a top 4 level, and as that's the level we aspire to, he isn't the future.
I think most fans rate him correctly. He was a first choice when the other options were Sissoko or Winks but now there is Skipp and Bentancur, he shouldn’t be first choice when both are fit and definitely one to eventually be moved on as the squad gets stronger under Conte (hopefully)
The weird thing is that, of our current four CMs, he is probably the most replicable if we can find somebody with the same level of workrate but is bolder when moving the ball - and it is telling that we keep being linked with players who fit that description such as Matthias Svanberg and Nahitian Nandez
Yeah can’t argue with his work rate or commitment to the cause but his creativity isn’t even close to being enough for the midfield.
I dunno, you could blindfold me and tie my legs together and I’d probably replicate Winks quite easily.
