I’d avoided watching comps until we’d secured him, but man this has moved me big time - what does he not have in his skillset?

This is a crazy signing & many don't know or are denying. De Zerbi uses a controller (Deep Lying Playmaker) & a connector (Box2Box+Destroyer) in his double pivot. Mateus does all of this. Can play deep, can pass, can run, is press resistant, can dribble, he is the perfect RDZ DM.

Staying up?

Staying away from relegation, trophies, the list goes on. We can all watch comps of players that last 5 minutes long. But a football match is played over 90 minutes 38 games a season. Your all gullible af

staying in the premier league

A few things. But I’m sure you’ll all back him when he’s not performing as much as when he does!

Staying up?? He doesn’t have that

It’s his passing range that’s the best part for me we haven’t had a player like that since eriksen bar madders who’s aging on now. And it’s what we have really lacked in recent years but the fact he can also run and make tackles makes it all the much sweeter

Attacking output. He’ll run the box to box show and loads of energy with action. But pushing him fwd he still hasn’t found that output. Still v young and can develop. But Spurs also have XS and JM when fit to complement the creative solutions

consistency/pressure be great for a few game, then drop a stinker miss a 1v1 against Arsenal with relegation on the line etc. Some of that is potentially on his age, huge potential. Ultimately it’s a great fee for us and if he turns into the player he can be great deal for spurs.

Not getting relegated

He cant finish a 1v1 from 2 yards out to secure a vital point vs Arsenal, enjoy 👍

I like how everyone has comp trauma now 😂

He lacks good decision making

I love him man genuinely

Premier league survival.. 2 seasons in a row relegated. Well worth $85 million!

Skillset to help west ham avoid relegation.

Game changer honestly

He has levels to go up

He’s unreal

Helping his team finish above 18th?

The only thing that he lacks in is… ..an Ambition to play for BIG clubs like PSG, Real Madrid, Manchester United or Liverpool.

Didn’t help Wesf Ham from relegation, and won’t help you become a decent club.

He's been relegated with 2 different teams in successive seasons so I'm guessing heart ,desire a will to win,couldn't give a fuck attitude cos he'll get a transfer out if it goes wrong?I'm sure West ham are well happy with 85m

Sander berge does this

He’s got all the facilities

Back to back relegations😂😂😂😂….surely nit three on the trot !!!!

Scoring one on ones when it really matters

A reluctance to stay out of the bottom 3.

if he doesn’t lack in any of these why do you think portugal chose a mallorca midfielder over this guy?

Just goals and assists

Staying up in a relegation fight 😅

Z

Ambition

The ability to avoid relegation?

Would love to know how consistent he is as he seems to have it all
