Winks did cop shite, including from me, in the ratings thread.
Please stop with the "some fans don't recognise the role he's playing" bollocks, this is really fucking tiresome. Poch isn't playing Sissoko in some highly nuanced or complex tactical application that involves a PHD in sport trigonometry to comprehend.
Like I said, it could be the fact that we've got 50m+ riding on Sissoko that is keeping him around the first team right now, or it could just be that Poch doesn't get everything right. Or it could be that the majority of us and some well regarded football journalists are mistaken and you and Poch are visionary's who are living in a parallel footballing universe in which shit technique, poor tactical and positional awareness and a complete lack of vision are actually qualities of value.
I think you accusing Poch of playing a player because of the price paid is not only demeaning of Poch but also flies in the face of everything we've ever know about how he operates. He had no problem freezing out all our billy big bollocks players - he plays people who buy into his ethic and can be very stubborn about that.
Just as you are stubborn - but Poch isn't slandering you.
You need to get a grip.
