Why would someone, who by his own admission is world class, play in the championship?

Link to when he said he was world class?

 

Eh??? It was a reference to his wish to play for a champions league club when he's clearly not good enough with any consistency. 

 

Not everything is literal

It's interesting the way people talk about Sissoko, they simply don't hold the rest of the players to the same standards. There have been far worse players in the team that have been consistently worse then him, yet Sissoko gets the brunt of the abuse which is all due to him wanting to play Champions league football.

Yes because wanting to play in the Champions League and thinking you're world class are the exact same thing. FFS

Olivier Bernard was on the radio earlier saying he thought that if Rafa stays, Sissoko will probably stay. Even more so because there's no international tournament next summer. Had there been he would have been off straight away

Rafa clearly likes Sissoko, he's picked him in every team, said as much in print and handed him the armband. I think Moussa is one of those who would have been away normally after relegation but after seeing how he could be used in a Rafa set up so effectively might well decide to stay.

None of the other players get into good positions as often as Sissoko does, but no one cocks up quite as often as he does either.

It's a good point about no tournament next summer. If any of our players who get selected in Euro squads have an excellent tournament then it'll be up to Rafa to decide if he accepts or not. That goes for Sissoko too.

 

His attitude has been poor but I don't blame him or any of the other players, having an imbecile like John Carver telling you what to do and then McLaren soon after would leave anyone feeling a bit fucked off.

 

Rafa likes him because he's an absolute beast.. and he's still young enough to improve.

 

If none of these players have relegation clauses in their contracts, it will all be up to Rafa to decide.

And why the hell did he wear the captains armband on his compression vest during his post match interview?  Like a child wearing his boots for bed, to be fair he was probably aiming to throw it in the kit bag

No surprise. Going by interviews he has given in France he has been looking to leave for ages. He wanted Champions League football not Championship football. Hopefully he goes for a big fee. Big Premiership wages off the books and the fee can be used elsewhere (even if it just covers Rafa's wages).
