Poll to see if anybody on this forum rates Sissoko

[TEESSIDE1]

We don't need to give him time. We already know what he's about, he's been in the PL for years. We need to sell him and recoup as much money as possible asap, and then buy a good player as a replacement...

It's one thing needing time to gel with a new team and another to intentionally elbow someone and undermine the manager in public. The guys a bellend and we need shot.

 

[Joeyboey]

I cannot believe 46 people rate him on here. But then 61 million Americans voted for Trump.

The worlds gone crazy!

 

[NEVILLEB]

The high price, timing and questionable quality suggest this might have been a transfer to keep the Manager on side after missing out on someone better.

There's a bit more to it than that but yes, this is pretty much correct.

I'm sure Sissoko's extraordinary levels of shitness have really gone down well with Levy.

 

[Hoddtastic72]

Transfer is definitely a weird one. Guess we will never know why it really happened when we could of spent £30 mill on so many other (better) players. Also as much as I hate to say it about one of our new signings...but I'm confident he will never cut it for us.

£6m per full season he plays for us, so it will probably end up being £3m if we're lucky and some sap of a team takes him off our hands.

I really hate being negative about any of our players. Sissoko looked pretty good when he first joined Newcastle, and we all saw how well he played in the Euros, but he just seems to be a square peg for us, and not a particularly good one.

If we pay 6 Mil per full season...can we send him back to Newcastle at Christmas for a refund

 

[ClintEastwould]

Whats the debate? He's shit and a massive waste of money. End of. Goodbye and goodnight.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Give the man a chance, what's he had, half a dozen games?
Gareth Bale looked pants for âges before he turned into our best winger since Alfie Conn

Out of all the players throughout the years to wear our shirt you choose to come out of obscurity and whip out this tiresome cliche for fucking Sissoko???

no it isn't ffs

we can't just flog him for 10m in the summer and make a 4m profit. the 10m we get would go straight to newcastle and then we'd have to send them another 14m on top of the 6m we're originally scheduled to pay.

Just read that article of yours, @TomCStandard RE Sissoko, NUFC will only receive £30m if he stays at Spurs for duration?

Tom CollomosseVerified account‏@TomCStandard Sep 1
@hillyon No, they'll get their £30m, but when he's ultimately sold that will be part of the negotiations with the buying club.


the author just worded it terribly and caused unnecessary confusion. it's a straight-forward transfer paid in instalments(as many are).

Fair enough. Fucking awful signing in that case. It was already a bad signing, but £30m for that shower is a joke.

Yep, I'd rather have played Winks & Onomah more & keep the 30 million for Jan (or more likely) the summer.

Well seems Poch isn't a fan of sissoko either.

“Football is not about money,” Pochettino said when asked about Sissoko’s absence. “It is about players being better, and that they show on the training ground that they are better than another team-mate and that they deserve to be involved or not. In my opinion, I need to take the decisions and I believe that the players that started in the game [on Saturday] and the players on the bench deserved to be involved in the game. There’s nothing else to [read into] it.


“It’s not frustrating for me. It’s about football. We can see in football different things that happen. You sign a player and then you expect something, and you don’t find what you expected … If another deserved to be involved, like maybe [Georges-Kévin] Nkoudou or Josh Onomah, or [Vincent] Janssen, then why not? Just because we pay money [for someone], do they deserve to play? Sissoko needs to work hard and to show in future that he deserves to be on the team.”

 

[daehanmingook]

It's good that he's taking this stance, I reckon poch didn't rate him from the start but played him to show levy how crap he was. Like last season in the europa, playing fringe players and getting clammered to show our poor squad depth. This shows levy he needs to sign better quality to really progress and that he can't keep pussyfooting when it comes to quality transfers! Poch won't deal with this kind of dross forever. Fortunately he seems patient enough to let the club improve their processes but we'll need to see some real improvements.

Wow he's gone then lol

A square peg, from the 99p store, that was disguised and left on the shelf of John Lewis special pegs range, designed to never fit in any hole, but is useful for holding up the receipt you paid for it, so that when you walk by it flaps in your face.

I do hope this post eventually flaps in my face, but I doubt it. He has an epic battle to shift the 'naff' tag he rightfully has.

It's pretty obvious that Poch was the one who pushed for the signing, and Levy obliged for once. Shame on him eh?
