I think as a fan base we appreciate quality however that presents itself, even sometimes overdoing it (the over praise of Sissoko for just about doing the bare minimum and the love of Lamela for not actually doing anything).Shaping up to be a Hoijberg kind of a season. As Tottenham supporters, we are thought to place most emphasis on style and exciting football. Our collective appreciation of a player like Hoijberg, who doesn’t meet the ‘sexy’ football type description shows that we can recognise more to football than attacking panache.
Hoijberg has been excellent, so good that’s he’s featured in our top 3 players each month of this season. He’s stopped attacks, played clever and telling passes, and helps us to tick over. I hope, however, he can score a goal soon if only because he has been close on numerous occasions, including yesterday when he shot straight at the keeper, and he’s surely due a goal to add to his otherwise overall excellent play.
Happy to have him at the club, and look forward to him continuing to drive us towards success.

We've had a thing for quality DMs think back to how Wanyama was appreciated and further back Sandro was definitely loved and missed. Even Parker was quite popular for a good while. We just like good players whatever their role.
If only Pochettino had managed to persuade Wijnaldum to sign, so we didn’t end up settling for Sissoko.It's amazing how good a round peg in a round hole can look when you've been without one for so long - what we could have done with getting someone like him in for the couple of seasons we persisted with a broken Wanyama and a constantly ill Dier.
I remember how we were all thankful when we signed Palacios. For too long we had been bullied in central midfield. Having an intelligent strong man in midfield - not someone like that Sheffield United guy - I forget his name but not his face - yes Michael Brown.

Maybe Skipp can step up to that next season.We do need an understudy for Hoijberg. Could do with signing someone to allow Hoijberg to stay at best condition. But who? I would think Kalvin Phillips but think he would be too pricey.
Well if they sold us a player they didn’t think was good enough to play in the championship post is loaning him back for 10m, I’d expect their valuation of Phillips will be extortionate!We do need an understudy for Hoijberg.

Skipp will be ready next seasonSkipp is the obvious longer term answer with twenty something full games under his belt already for season.
Would be good if we could find someone that could rotate/work with PEH until Skipp is ready (may not be next season)
He could've come in last season IMO.Skipp will be ready next season
Don’t forget he plays for a side currently massively over commit in attack yet are top
The lad could come in now IMO
There is talk at Norwich about trying to get him for next season as well.
