    Just keeps it simple and is great with the ball at his feet.

    Great player.

    He's basically Ki. Hopefully we can get £6m for this guy too.

    Only seen him pull out of a few this season, people picked up on a few when he broke into the team but were proven wrong about the shitebag theory, gets stuck in plenty of times. Also been struggling with snall injuries, don't mind him pulling out sometimes to prevent getting hurt depending on the situation.

    Ki without the goals, though I think he is just slightly ahead of Ki ability wise. Want to keep him for as long as possible no matter what bids come in for him.

    I see where you're coming from but they're different. Both very comfortable on the ball but Bitton's range of passing isn't as good and Ki was capable of the odd screamer. But he is better defensively and more physical.

    I love him and would have him in my team every week because he is probably the most intelligent player in our squad, his decision making is sublime. However the defensive side of his game still needs work. I'm not gonna be stereotypical and say hes a shitebag but a couple of times he could of won the ball back for us but really isn't keen to go into tackles of any nature. Could be better at winning balls in the air too but i suppose that willingness to challenge in the air can't really be taught or worked on.

    100%. Trust me the big teams that play a holder midfielder will be all over him next year.

    They're different kind of players, but if you play a 3 man midfield you could be doing a lot worse than:

    Wanyama

    Bitton Ki Sung

    Wanyama...... Bitton

    GMS......Ki.....Armstrong

    ........Hooper.......


    That would been good to see. Although I'd still have Brown in there before Bitton

    absolutely loving Bitton and Browns partnership, both on an incredible run of form, with a brilliant attitude, its great to see, they work together so well.
    we have got to do everything to keep them fit and dominating the midfield for some years to come and see them bloom some more!

    Suarez and sturridge had the nickname SAS upfront.
    how about we have B&B for our midfield? thoughts?

    Nirlo is our most important player IMO. If he's off the boil or out the side we're not a good side.

    absolutely agree, hes our talisman and so refreshing to have in the side, best player we have at the moment, we are in big trouble without him.

    The game against st mirren where he was rested for the first half you could see the team were struggling without his composure and domination.

    It's surprised me how much of a leadership role he's taken as well. I always had him pegged as the quiet sulking type.
