Just caught up with this thread.
What a signing this bloke is, we've made everyone else look like fools. We've signed our own Yaya Toure for £2m? It's been an absolutely staggering week, one we'll always remember.
Welcome to the club, Moussa
I think he's the best crosser we have at the club. Something you wouldn't expect when you see his other strengths and weaknesses.
I agree that signing Sissoko could rejuvenate Tiote, our CM options are pretty scary now.
Considering we've signed Debuchy and Yanga (ie, filled two absolutely gaping holes in the team), it's comments like this that have got me so excited about Sissoko. We didn't even 'need' a CM. Guy must really be class based on what people have said.
A second string XI now looks far better:
Elliot
R Taylor Williamson S Taylor Haidara
Bigi Tiote Gutierrez
Gouffran Thauvin
Shola
We even have enough depth for a third string:
Harper
Simpson Perch Good Ferguson
Gosling Amalfitano Vuckic
Obertan Sammy
Campbell
....meaning Ranger, Tavernier and Abeid aren't even third choice - though I guess departures for Simpson and Gosling aren't too far off. Mind blowing stuff.
