I'm not sure what anyone else thinks of this and even if he does go - which I doubt - then it's also not likely that we'd make a move for him seeing as Ramos has likely already earmarked who he wants for defensive midfield, but I honestly think Momo would be a great addition to our squad and I've always been impressed with his no-nonsense style of play and hard tackling. I'm not sure he's MUCH better than Didier but even so, it's worth a look at I think.......

He looked good for a while, but he's actually pretty average (bordering on poor).

No thanks.

The last few times I've seen him, his passing has been shocking.

I was having a friendly debate about Benitez's judgement of players with the Spurs Community poster known as "Juande_Ramos", and he called Sissoko a "donkey" and Rafa's worst signing. Sissoko has done nothing to dispel this judgement recently, and Benitez has been fairly reluctant to play him in important games.

Hub Cab Thieves? They've given that up and moved into burgling the players' houses when they're pulling on those red and blue shirts. Much more lucrative... :wink:

Well my bro is a huge liverpool fan and has been all my life so i've watched them as much as I have spurs, we both rate him very highly and feel that he's well underrated. Yeah ok his passing may not be of Carrick quality but I liken him to a George Boateng in the way he bust his ass to get round the pitch and make tackles.

What a great signing that would be. I would like to see Sissoko at Spurs. I remember him from his time in Auxerre and Valencia. I player I have rated highly.

We are hoping to break into the top 4 and Liverpool are the side we are most likely going to have to finish above to do so. So how is buying their 4th choice CM going to help us? We need to be looking at players far better than Sissoko. I prefer Zokora to Sissoko. I don't see how are we could reallistically compete with the top 4 by targeting players of such limited ability? Sissoko isn't going to contribute anything other than energy and tackling, yet we are already the toughest tackling side in the Prem (or were until Jol left, I haven't checked the stats since).

He was great before the eye injury. Now he's low man on the totem pole for a reason. We need to think CM2008, not CM2005 :)

Get him in, along with Hutton, Kenwyne Jones (if berba leaves) and Samba from B'burn he's different gear.


Flog:- Stalty, Murphy (outright) , ghaly, BAE

My brother and a few mates support the scousers. They can't stand Momo and when i see him play he is utter dog shite.
So thanks , but definitely NO thanks.

Sissoko is a good player but we need to sign a technically gifted central midfielder who can pick out a pass. Someone like carrick

I believe Jenas has most of Sissokos characterists but is technically better and scores a hell of a lot more goals

if were looking at midfielders we should be looking to re sign carrick and tempt arteta to a move down south to the bright lights of london
