Wallsendmag Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 On the one hand I don't think his value ever rises any higher than right now, however, if he gets his mind right under Rafa and gets some of his inconsistencies coached out of him, my word. By the way he went from being managed by some chap named Alain Casanova at Toulouse to Alan Pardew and his s*** crew of assistants to McClaren and co. here. He's literally never worked under a proper club manager or set of coaches outside of his international setup at France under Blanc and Deschamps. I understand that but what about his disgraceful attitude towards the club on and off the field for the past 4 years. He's been paid £millions in wages and has basically took the p!ss. I get that the level of coaching he's received has probably been poor but that didn't stop the likes of Cabaye, Ba, Ben Arfa, Dubuchy and even Cisse in his first season, turning in some excellent performances on a far regular basis than him. Trouble is he thinks he's far better than he actually is and sees Newcastle as being beneath him. He sees himself as a champions league player and because of this arrogant attitude we'll never see consistent performances from him because we'll always have his agent touting him about to what he thinks are better things.

Guest Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 He thinks he's above us because we allowed him to feel that. And those players you mentioned were all proven and pretty much at their peak when we signed them, Sissoko was 22-23 maybe, signed with the raw attributes to become a top player, and has spent the years he should have been improving as a player under Pardew, Carver and McClaren. You could say it was his own daft fault coming here, but until 3 months ago, the culture of the club backed Sissoko's views. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 What's so disgraceful & arrogant that he has actually said? That he dreams of playing in the Champions League? That he wants to play at the highest level to stay in the France team? How dare he want the best for his career and honestly talk about it, selfish cunt.

Winn Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Unfortunately for Sissoko, one of the impacts of putting himself in the shop window is that his value will go up. Hes cheated us for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that him and his agent have constantly talked about him wanting a move away since about a year into him arriving. Very disrespectful imo.

Ankles Bennett Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Sissoko has three years left on his contract. His agent can argue all he likes about us agreeing to let him go after last season for e18m to e25m, but his performances for France have increased his value and we are perfectly entitled to increase his asking price as he is under contract to NUFC. We havent said he cant go, and I would imagine his agent would point out his performances for France warrant sky high wages if and when he is eventually sold. The truth is the lower the selling price the higher the wages the agent can demand which is why he is demanding we lower the asking price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John P Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Him and his agent can get fucked. They were happy to sign a long contract, he was then part of a team which underperformed for the whole season and got relegated. During that relegation season, he performed poorly for the vast majority of it, looked disinterested and couldn't wait to tell the French press how much he wanted to play for a bigger team. Guess what Moussa? If you play poorly all season, there's a chance your club will be relegated. If you want to play at the highest level, maybe put some effort in at your current club. You can't have any fucking complaints, so either wait until someone meets our valuation of you (seeing as you're such a great player) or shut up and get on with your job.

TRon Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Ibe's as good as Sissoko TBH, and English. Would be a weird deal. Ibe is not as good as Sissoko man Ibe will contribute more than Sissoko. He's a good player with a far superior work rate. Moussa will be playing at 50% if he stays and will not be as good as Ibe was when he was at Derby. I'd agree with that to an extent but doesn't mean he's as good as him. Honestly don't know what people expect from Sissoko in terms of work rate though. He played right wing most of the season and the opposition left back rarely did anything, good work rate also when put left back and in midfield towards the end of the season It's pretty appalling that people are allowed to keep peddling this line that he doesn't put a shift in. It's because he does work hard that there is going to be so much interest in him as I always maintained there would be. People need to learn to watch games objectively. Try to look at it like Rafa would rather than John Carver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
