Brighton play 5 at the back when Bissouma plays so they dont play a defensive midfielder hence they are shit at scoring and creating chances because the centre midfield is very limited Massive downgrade on Dougie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissouma is absolutely top class Luiz is a good player but but we have his equal if not better in his position already at the club Bissouma would take us to a new level in my opinion. If swapping them was the deal it's a no brainer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Whenever I've watched Bissouma play for Brighton he's played as a DM, that's his position, more often than not he's been playing in a two man midfield this season with Lallana, so he has to play defensively, most Brighton fans concede he's not very good in an attacking sense, but still rate him as one of their best players ever, because attacking or being creative is not his job. If we or any of the top clubs he's being linked to were to sign him, he wouldn't play anywhere other than as a DM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original point was his stats were high in the defensive third. Those stats back it up. Look up ndidis stats, although much better they paint a similar picture.

The bloke Newcastle have signed for more money is older has less Brazil caps and no prem experience. I've seen no reports from Doug himself saying he wants to leave the club should try and do what we did with Grealish and tie him down to a longer deal (4-5 years) with a gentleman's agreement that he can move on if a CL team comes in and meets a set price. I think he has the potential to be a 50m player in a few years time he's still only 23 with more room for improvement. Luiz now is more valuable than he will be in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
