Another year of Bruce and this same player would have ended up on loan in the Uzbekistani league or something. 

 

Instead he has written one of the greatest Premier League redemption stories ever.

Gutted he will miss the Southampton game. 

 

Another solid performance. There was a spell in the first half where he gave away the ball a bit but so did everyone. Always delighted when he can get on the score sheet. He has been an absolute beast for us this past year. Not sure if he has done enough to go to the World Cup but hopefully Brazil have another friendly before that he gets called into to try and earn his place. He deserves that in the least.

got to be the best ever turnaround story in the premier league. can’t think of another player who was written off by fans, pundits as much as big joe who turned it round in this way? His team mates and managers always stood by him, Bruce did I guess - although he absolutely killed the poor kids confidence.

Almiron is getting close tbh. I had no belief whatsoever that he would ever have any end product. :lol:

His work rate and ability to win 50-50's really does remind me of Dembele that used to play for Tottenham, you just can't take the ball off him. his touch in the first half for the shot was incredible too.

 

Severely underrated player Dembele was. Joelinton is very similar to him in alot of ways but definitely not as technically gifted. 

 

If Sissoko and Dembele were merged into one player that would be Joelinton.
