Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

He's a specialist player, he does a job all top teams need.

What it means is someone else in midfield needs to provide the creativity (Ndombele), someone else needs to manage the possession (? upgrade place for us)
He is in a way a specialist, he fits that role very well. But at the same time he's a generalist in that there are very few things he's not good at. Shooting perhaps, but other than that?

Imo he has more creativity, more purposeful passes than most or all of the other specialists we've had for that role in a long time. We need more creativity and quality on the ball next to him than we get from Sissoko, but that's not really on Hojbjerg, unless it's on Hojbjerg that he's not a quality deep playmaker.

Ndombele, Lo Celso, Winks if he can step it up another level could all be good options at some point. Perhaps Skipp.

Right now there's a shortage though.
 
I was definitely one who didn’t want this guy - I wanted ward prowse (who I would still take)
But he really, really has been a great signing for us and up there with the signing of son, on that he is one who kinda came with a lower bar but is reaching a higher level
So impressive
 
I’m very pleased with the win.
One swallow etc
Our recruitment has been inexcusable and it has caused this club so much heartache for longer than care to remember.

Yeah, these last few years have been unbearable compared with the last illustrious thirty years...
