Player Watch: Moussa Sissoko

[dontcallme]

He did?!

He was undroppable when he was our only fit centre midfielder.

He did?!

absolutely. we can take jabs at him all we want, but in that 18/19 season, specifically during our CL run(before the final lol), he was impeccable. the driving force of our team when everyone was dropping like flies with injuries.

Managers only talk like that when it's practically a done deal

Yep, this deal appears as good as done.

Good luck Moussa Sissoko.

I always liked him but also happy for him to leave.

Best post. He was a great pro and clearly a positive influence on the squad.

Especially on his best buddy Tanguy.

95k off the wage bill & we'll get a small transfer fee as a bonus

Lovely stuff

Anyone know his estimate wages??

Thanks.

That is a good website to know going forward.

Great move for all involved - best of luck to him. Top pro.

While he was not talented in the traditional sense, there is a reason why he played as much as he did and was appreciated as much as he was in the locker room. Anyone who gives their all to the badge will always have the appreciation of most fans.

Fee not overly important imo.

As much as I like, and respect, sissoko, it is best for him and us that he just leaves.

 

[whitechina]

I didn't like it when we signed him on the last day
For a while he was as I thought- useless
He never gave up, showed character after his really shit first year
Made himself important to the team and played his part in the CL final (also my birthday!)
He has been professional, never flinched away from a challenge for our club and hasn't gone to the press (unlike others we could mention!)
Good luck if this is the end- if MS stays then at least we will have a player who will be professional and support his teammates!

He's a loyal workhorse who's played at the top level for both club and country. I think we should give the bloke some more respect as to what he's worth.

He's 32. £10m is a brilliant price.

I think the price is dropping.

I don't think the price is really relevant- something is better than nothing!
It's the wages and the non-homegrown player off of the books that appear to be more important

Yes. 100%

Yeah i noticed that after I posted that. He's not a first teamer and with his wages, getting him off the books for a fee is good business.
