Foluwashola Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Be interesting to see if he's in the squad for Fulhan if not flogged by then. Odds on him doing a Cabaye must be extremely short. even if he was fully committed I doubt he'd be in the Fulham squad if he's only back in training monday. Lazy cunt.

TRon Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Sissoko's first touch has always been dreadful, genuinely baffled at how anyone who's watched a large chunk of our games can debate this. It's farkin amazing like. Everyone of us nollligable fans knows he's shit but these bastard CL teams keep sniffing around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 He clearly is good at certain aspects No one is saying he is shit, ( well most of us anyway) just that he struggles with decision making and he's technically crap. Doesn't mean he wouldn't be effective in a certain role for a good team. Also the fact CL clubs want him is pretty meaningless considering most of them are interested because of his performance in the Euros, the amount of players who are not that good ( worse than Sissoko) who get big moves due to World Cup or Euros success list is bordering on endless.

Hanshithispantz Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's an interesting argument you're going for like TRon, especially considering we gave the best player we've had in a decade to Hull for fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Literally couldn't care less which mugs buy him or what his fee 'proves'. He didn't want to turn up in black & white and that's all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 It's an interesting argument you're going for like TRon, especially considering we gave the best player we've had in a decade to Hull for fuck all. Just goes to show how having a spastic in charge of making decisions can have a big impact on player values. Why do you think Ashley finally threw in the towel and put a genuine football man in charge? I'm happy as fuck me, now I really couldn't give a toss what knackers like shola in a flat cap think, I trust the man in charge to guide the ship right.

Marmoset Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Think Hatem leaving Nice for free and Sissoko leaving for 30 odd million finally proves Pardew right to play Moussa rw over him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Hope he's gone soon and for maximum cash. Want that money reinvested as we are still missing the right players for a squad to go up first time of asking without too many troubles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what any of this has to do with Sissoko's first touch like It's TRon. He types what's floating around in his head and then picks a quote to put above it at random. Just be thankful you were both on about the same player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Annoys me that their is so much emphasis on pace and power nowadays, give me a Nobby Solano type any day of the week over this useless piece of shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I know what you're saying (minus the daft 'useless piece of shit' comment), but Solano was completely surrounded by players with either pace, power or both. You need a balance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I know what you're saying (minus the daft 'useless piece of s***' comment), but Solano was completely surrounded by players with either pace, power or both. You need a balance. Moussa would probably do alright at better sides to be fair to him. He isn't s**** (despite the fact I have probably called him it many-a-time). He's not what I'd call a "good footballer" by my interpretation of the term. He's an outstanding athlete who has average footballing ability and footballing intelligence. He's no good in confined spaces and he's not particularly great at defending. He doesn't make decisions very well generally speaking and doesn't read the game. However, he has pace, power and acceleration that far outweighs many his size (and obviously smaller). He offers something different for many top sides and they'll take the punt on him as a bit part player for when teams are pressing them back or when the game is stretched. For what it's worth he has been a mercenary c*** for the last 9 of the last 12 months and Rafa was seemingly getting him back to his best. The captaincy did him wonders (and maybe the upcoming Euros) but it's too little too late. He'd tear the championship apart for what it's worth but I reckon it's best for his career and best for us that this is wrapped up sooner rather than later. At the end of the day most footballers are mercenary c***s nowadays it just so happens that this one isn't one of the more tactful ones. I suspect that's somewhat down to his agent trying to force his next big deal too. He has no professionalism and whilst I understand all of the players being as disenchanted as we have been if they're really thinking of their short careers he really should have been putting in more of a shift more often. Returning to my original point. Good footballers are technically sound or can read the game. Excellent footballers can do both and world class players do both but have the physicality. Brain beats brawn ultimately. Nolberto Solano was the epitome of that but as mentioned he had the likes of Dyer and Bellamy around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Quite a good post Agree apart from the sooner than later, maximize the fee or keep him. If keep him then same in Jan or Summer or keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
