It's been great to have him around. But he is the clearest candidate for upgrade in the squad.

People need to remember as well that Wanyama was’nt in today’s original starting lineup and only started due to Jans injury during the warm up.

He does seem to be everyone's favourite scapegoat. I guess every team's got to have one.

It's very hard to not upgrade on him honestly.

There's a difference between being a scapegoat and being a poor player. There's no questioning Sissoko's effort but he is a very limited player technically. He does some nice things but not enough to be a regular starter and his limitations don't help the other players.

A scapegoat? Sissoko isn't a scapegoat, calling someone poor when they are shocking can be seen as a compliment

Good question. There are plenty of contenders. Lamela is far too popular though, so probably not him. Dier is seriously underrated, so it could be him. Aurier would be a good bet as he's been a bit shaky since he arrived. Throw Trippier into the mix (because he's not Walker, and Walker is now "good" even though he still fucks up for City), Davies because he's not Rose, Sanchez because he's not Toby, Wanyama, Lucas, Winks...

Who was the scapegoat before Sissoko came? Probably Lamela because he gave the ball away too easily, but that, like Sissoko, isn't being a scapegoat. It's being criticised for poor play.

Offers will also be considered for Serge Aurier, Moussa Sissoko and Erik Lamela, though Pochettino believes all three are useful squad players.—Kilpatrick

Just realized that there isn't a dedicated thread to Sissoko. It is looking increasingly likely that he will not be sold this window and I'm awfully okay with that. As he rarely gets injured, the chances that we'll see him feature more this season are high, given that every CM on our roster is struggling with a knock/injury. I do think this 433 formation that Poch is trying out will suit Sissoko and could potentially get the best of him. Something like
Llorente/Kane
Moura/ Son ------------------- Lamela
Eriksen------- Sissoko/Dele
Dier/Wanyama
Davies----Verts ---- Sanchez ---- Aurier
I'm not his biggest fan but he never causes issues, is always willing to help the team and seems to be a liked to rest of the team/staff. Hope we get behind him and hopefully see some better performances and goals from him.

I'm not going to lie - I like the bloke. Evidence suggests that Poch does too and I would go so far as to say I would be surprised if we sell him this summer.
