This is a ridiculous fee. However, I'd rather him than no one- it was important to inject some new energy into the squad and I'd imagine it will give the players a boost to see this tank stride into training for the first time. He was France's most dynamic player at the Euros imo (check out his YouTube highlights vs Portugal in the final), has a good amount of experience that the squad was arguably missing and though he may not have the finesse that we've been lacking he certainly has the pace, power and ball-carrying ability to help us get through packed midfield lines.

If we were willing to pay £30 million for a player, why didn't we do it at the start of the summer and get our first choice striker?

I remember Van Der Vaart and the fax machine. We will have special dispensation, if we cant do it by midnight.

Paul Merton what a ****! Says live on Sky he hopes the deal don't go through! How can he be on there if he ain't impartial?

Just thinking about this. Everyone talks about him slacking off. Not sure it would be wise to do that with us. Our club captain is his countrys captain also.

He's a good player, the only part I don't understand is...

Over all the years that we have had the opportunity to spend £30m on a player, why is it only Moussa Sissoko that's made the cut? What is special about him?

They probably owe us money for Townsend and yedlin as well to be fair. Probably knocks it down a bit

Because due to the new TV deal, football economics are highly inflationary and £30m this window is like £15m a year ago.

It would be great to time travel to the beginning of this thread and say "by the end of today we will have broken out transfer record" and then drop the mic and leg it.

The carnage as the day went on and it slowly became apparent that it would be on Sissoko.
