Wallsendmag Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Preview of John Gibson’s Monday Chronicle column on Moussa Sissoko... 'I know United were defeated by Fulham which sparked unease but come off it Rafa, I would rather pull out all my teeth with a pair of pliers than see Moussa Sissoko play against Huddersfield after the total disrespect he has shown for the club, the fans, and the area.' If that's the case, start him. Anything for Gibbo to shut the f*** up. FFS. Gibson is a good writer, probably the best one at Thompson House. This.

Was hoping you'd get more angry at that, I literally wrote that hoping to prontonise on a Sunday. I have no opinion on Gibbo minus the fact that his picture is haunting.

Kanj Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Gibbo tried to say he'd rather his teeth pulled out than Moussa Sissoko playing for this club 1x more; so much passion there by Gibbo? Nah he's f***ing drama queen man. Like Moussa strutting out there would ruin his life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Cabaye downed tools trying to engineer a move to Arsenal in August but in the end he stayed and was probably our best player for half a season. When he did leave in January we fell to pieces. Different players and situations, but ultimately Sissoko's one of our highest earners and occupies a position where we're short on quality. I'd be worried about his attitude and the fact he may pull out of tackles for fear of injury preventing a move, but if Rafa feels he's okay then play him. Rafa was able to get some of his best form out of him late last season. I'd still look to sell him and spend mind, just saying we looked blunt going forward at Fulham and could have done with his pace and power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 We sometimes treat football like it's some weird parallel universe. He's a professional footballer under contract, of course he should be playing if he's still here and deemed good enough. Yes he wants away, but if the club think he's worth more than someone is willing to pay then he's staying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shintonsghost Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Sadly hes the best we have. May as well play him...a 80% Sissoko is a tad better than Anita on the right ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If he gives us a better chance of picking up 3 points while contracted by our club, then play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If he gives us a better chance of picking up 3 points while contracted by our club, then play him. I tend to agree, we're paying him a wage and if he's as desperate for a move as much as he says he is then it's in his best interest to prove he doesn't belong in this league by being the best player on the pitch. I also say dock him wages for his disrespect he's been showing, needs to be shown he can't have it all his way and stop being a fucking primadonna.

joeyt Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The best thing John Gibson ever did was write a preposterous article that was ultimately responsible for Alan Oliver getting attacked by Robert after that Spurs game in late 2002. Was this something along the lines of giving Robert a 2 out of 10 rating in the Chronicle which Robert got angry about?

Odear Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Nothing will start happening until the Pogba thing is done.. then Juve will spend a bit and the other big clubs will start making moves. We all know this guy is overpriced and overrated, but we also know for pace and power that if he's up for it there are few players who can match him. So maybe 35m is about right in this market.. I like to think of transfer values closer to what they used to be. Back around the time from Keegan to Robson, someone like Sissoko would be worth no more than 2m. If David Ginola in his prime was 3.5 million, it really puts things in perspective. Sissoko isn't fit to lace his boots. How much would Alan Shearer be worth now?

Marmoset Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The simple answer is he was a world record fee, so similar to whatever the current world record is give or take a few million whenever this question is asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the story before but can't remember the details It was Oliver's ratings and an article from Gibson just before Xmas which got him mad. When he grabbed Oliver by his collar he had a copy of the paper in his other hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If he's fit and showing a modicum of interest in playing, I would do. The biggest/only danger in that scenario would be pissing-off other members of the squad who have declared themselves as committed to the job this season. But as long as no one is paying the asking price for Sissoko, he isn't going anywhere, and it's in his and the club's best interests for us to play our best players. If other clubs still need convincing of his talent, he'll need to show it on the pitch so let's benefit from that. If we're winning games, no one will grumble because the wider picture is much more significant than a transfer saga and all it entails. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 He shouldn't and won't be nowhere near the first 11. He wouldn't give a flying fuck if he was!
