of course he is. several top flight managers have recognized that and utilized him as such. He started a Euro final as such.He’s not a proper cm.

Fixed your post, I know this what you meant to say.He’s not a proper footballer.

Looking forward to him starting CM tomorrow

Great point and I think it’s this which has kept him at the club this season + he seems like a decent bloke works hard and helped SA to settle. If he wants to stay and play even less next season and we bring in 1-2 top quality CM’s and attacking players then fine if we need him for those few physical games or certain types of games but seems like a waste of wages and I’m sure we’d not lose much sleep if he did leave.Going against the grain here but I still respect his contribution and like having him around the squad. He's capable of being a cog in a good machine, his performance away at Real being a good example or away at Swansea in the cup more recently where I thought he was exceptional.
In what will be a very physical battle on Saturday he will again be used I suspect.
Hope soI'm willing to bet we never see him line up for us again.
An expected sort of performance from him tonight. Played safe and anything he tried slightly unsafe didn’t come off. But he grafted and so you can’t fault his effort. It’s the one thing, well, the main thing I genuinely don’t understand about Poch and in my personal opinion, when he plays and we win, we do it despite him. But Poch loves him and Poch tends to know best so we’ll see.....
He must train so well and never cause a fuss, which is probably the main reason behind these comments. Fair play but hope he’s sold to make room for a midfield maestro.

How horrible he was in the first half
Let's hope like hell we get a decent offer then. Sissoko did a job this season but he's nowhere near good enough for a club with our ambitions. Sell him to a Big Sam type who just wants to sit back and hit the opposition on the counter, he's perfect for that tactic but not at all suited to a possession-based team.I don't think he's going anywhere unless there's a decent offer.
Poch seems to really value his versatility, his speed and Stamina, resulting in quick transitions from a defensive role to attacking, and his willingness to bench sit and just get on with a job when called upon without throwing a strop
