Regardless of the timing of the cash flows, and how long he stays, we apparently agreed to purchase him from Newcastle for £30m. We can sell him in January, to cut our losses but we will still be on the hook. No different to buying a sofa from DFS over 5 years.We constantly read that we paid 30m. It's a good story from Newcastle point of view but I cannot believe levy would commit to that sort of money for a player like sissoko in the last hours of the window. More likely that it is 6m per year for 5 years . Will prob be gone by end of next season or poss earlier so minimal risk involved. God knows why we bought him. Must have been desperate
