Starting player for France now under Deschamps.

We have many midfielders, but we need a dynamic and powerful runner in there with a physical presence that'll allow us to control the midfield more. He's a player that can grab the game by the scruff of the neck with his runs and strength. Tiote is strong, but he's slow and not capable of playing box to box, neither is he as good as Sissoko as ball player. He would be our own Diame, but with better passing and decision making imo. Would improve our team immensly (sp?)

Should do the same mate, tbh.

He will be first choice for us (WC in his mind) and we have a lot of french internationals and i think PL attracts him a bit more. But Juve are Juve. Im 50/50. A bit more worried about OM somehow.

RTG all over this already, how unexpected..

Or Ashley sees him as a good investment at around €3m when in fact he could be worth £15m or even more in the future.

Would be fucking immense like! Apart from that he's a good footballer he's also a LOT quicker than Tiote. À dynamic and powerful runner is exactly what we need in midfield.

Sad to hear about the Colo stuff

According to The Sun (i know) he'll earn £40k/week.

I have this feeling as well.

First choice CM pair for France wouldn't be bad like (Sissoko might feel the same like)

Apparently Sissoko is very much into science and is hoping to have a closer look at McClean and what exactly it is.

Deep research from Daily Mail.

They wont pay the money it would take, as said.

They think we'll have the same problem as with Ba/Cisse centrally. His heart will only hold for a couple of days. He will replace Ben Arfa who will take over from Ba. He's average and has a poor goal scoring record despite mostly playing as a forward. No top teams trying for him so he must be shit. have i missed something?

If you ignore 99% of the board it's ok. A man of patience.

Dont understand how Midds can manage it there.

Bong has made a De Jong (Alonso) tackle on Valbuena. Good lad, can't stand the slimey duckchested diverse that Valbuena is.

Tiote is thick, but he's a time traveller.

Another shit player according to RTG

Didn't mean he'd be a scorer like a Nolan, just that he actually pushes his team forward and gets in good attacking positions - his end product still needing work from everything I've read. Fair enough, odd to use an eye for goal though.

Sissoko is good, but wrong to mention him and 'an eye for goal' in the same sentence.

Good post biggs

Hopefully we'll get him and he scores a great goal against Reading in the second minute and gains confidence from there and scores another 7.
