You have a BC idea, borne out of what you want to believe rather than what you should. For the life of me I can't see how it's ok to believe that there were load of add ons to the Soldado transfer but we just handed Newcastle £30m without any for Sissoko.
Honestly bear, I don't want to believe we bought Sissoko at any price and wage.
Regardless of how accurate or off the mark I am with regards to Sissoko or Soldado, there was at least some logic in the Soldado purchase. He just didn't score goals when he got here. But even if you want to believe we aid 26m up front for him, that was the going rate for one of Europe's top experienced regular goal scorers.
Sissoko has never been good enough to be remotely near the level of a CL club. And this is not hindsight.
