Tbh there's no way he's staying, if anything this is going to cement further in his ostrich brain that he should be starting for a CL club.
Has he ever said he should be starting for a CL club?
not in those terms but he's mentioned his champions league "dream" quite happily to french media on a semi regular basis so not hard to join the dots
Which player turning out for France in the semi finals of the Euros wouldn't have a CL "dream"? We've had a British lad who was sat on Spurs bench for two years jump ship to a rowing boat steered by alan pardew just to put things in perspective.
Fuck me, are you genuinely defending a player for getting his agent to insist he's wanting away every other day in the press.
Fair enough if you think we're a better team with a motivated Sissoko in it, we all think that. To defend him for being an absolute wanker though.
