Dear hoddlers, I am proud to present to you our newest hoddle hero: Yves Bissouma.

Is there a better representative for this blog than the Vibemaster General of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club? I think not.

His future at the club also seems to be the most uncertain among the senior players lately, and so I think it’s important to celeberate him whilst he’s still here.

It can be so easy to focus on the incomings that we may not fully appreciate those who are already here, including Bissouma.

As you all know, there are certain rules we must abide by during the hoddle hero’s reign. Yves Bissouma will remain hoddle hero until one of the three happens:

For those of you who forgot or are new here, these are the rules. Micky van de Ven will remain the hoddle hero until one of these happens:

Tottenham Hotspur announce a senior team signing

That player leaves the club

Spurs go through the rest of the window without signing anyone

I don’t think Bissouma will last the rest of the summer as the hoddle hero, and so I’m curious which of these will lead us to changing the image. Nevertheless, he deserves his roses.

Til he departs, we’ll be throwing ‘em to him in bunches.
