TRon Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 How old is Cissokho? I caught a glimpse of him in the CL last week and he looked fairly chunky. I didn't get a proper look but he seemed to lack energy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 France is the one country I wouldn't see us buying a dud, for me it seems to be the hub of our scouting in Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I wonder what soneone would have thought of Enrique if they judged him purely on his last few games for us.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It surprises me that noone on this forum has questioned why his value has dropped by half in the last two years. Lyon drastically overpaid for him in the first place. Porto bought him for 250k after a good half-season at Setubal, 6 months later Lyon buy him for roughly £13m. It was ridiculous and a perfect example of Porto's transfer strategy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 gibfootballshow Andrew Gibney For #NUFC fans, don't get carried away with the Cissokho move, he's not World Class, yet to see him play a good cross so far this season 1/2 gibfootballshow Andrew Gibney Has struggled physically with a few match ups. Poyet won every aerial battle with him yesterday and not once has he beat a man to the byline Bloke specialises in French football. I wouldn't pay to much attention to that journalist suggesting that he's not playing well I watched the Lyon game against Rubin last week and was very impressed linked up with Bastos really well... definitely be fortunate if we get a left back of Cissokho standard.

TRon Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I'm not going to get my hopes up yet. There's every chance our (non) negotiating team will fuck this up like they did with Erdinc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression that Erdinc didn't want to leave PSG, and said as much - so not sure that is the clubs fault, other than maybe pursuing it a bit too long.

In which case he is prepared to leave PSG. What I heard was that we couldn't agree terms with his agent and he's now going to Rennes who didn't have that problem.

Doesn't ring a bell, but you may well be right. /that said, I'm pretty cynical when it comes to believing that Luke Edwards would be privvy to such info.
