Foluwashola Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Will probably score. The game is utterly meaningless, like his pathetic excuse of a life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I do often think why people judge Sissoko so harshly with regards to effort. The lazy tag I've always found ironically lazy from those who perpetuate it. For the money we paid his club and him I'd say he proved to be a bargain. Even more so if you then include his transfer fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Even from a financial viewpoint though, you've got to factor in his involvement in our relegation which ultimately cost hundreds of billions. Probably put in the least commitment of any Newcastle player I can recall in my lifetime, that's why I'll continue to relish in his failure which most of us predicted.

Marmoset Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Agree with lfee. Not a great player, but he would often be the only one creating anything in our side. We've had a lot worse. Attitude seems to stink though, at least from the outside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Strange how Rafa would appoint such a poisonous figure in the dressing room as captain mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 He is clearly talented if he can be arsed. Maybe Rafa thought the captaincy might generate some game winning performances out of him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load of shite Watched him waltz around without a care in the world for the whole of last season mate. He was one of your favourites and you'll want to defend the sackless freak until the bitter end, which is admirable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Rafa gave him the captaincy because he knew that he had a big influence over the French dressing room that we had. Give the egotistical c*** the armband, which he'll completely lap up like the king he thinks he is and maybe he'll put in the performances to keep us up. He was an utter c*** and had a big hand in our relegation. Triggs continuing to w*** himself silly at the thought of him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 He's not supremely talented though. He's a good physical specimen, who can occasionally spot a pass or cross, or lash one wildly. His technique was pretty shabby. Also isn't the smartest at making runs. Less lazy and more just simply not that good, so he couldnt always influence a game.

He was the only starter we had that was French in Rafa's time I don't want him back btw, because I prefer more technical players but its hilarious the amount of flack he got in his time here compared to some other players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 What other alternatives could have been given the captains armband out of interest? Can only think of Lascelles (played barely any games), Wijnaldum (not captain material at all), Colback (shit) and Dummett. Other candidates had either just arrived or seemed to be out of the team (Townsend, Shelvey etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 There was far more English speakers like, and the only French speakers he played other than Sissoko were Cisse, Tiote and Mbemba I think. Is this something you've actually heard from a credible source? If so then fair enough like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sissoko in full beast mode was a very good player unfortunately now he's had his big move and is set up for life we'll never see that player again, I just don't think he likes football.

Foluwashola Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Keegan made the poisonous horse-fiddler captain. Having an armband around your bicep isn't an indicator of not being a twat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he though? Or is it just that he was a relative unknown when in "beast mode", playing against players/teams who weren't fully aware of his abilities/deficiencies as a player. As soon as players had him worked out, he offered very little threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something you've actually heard from a credible source? If so then fair enough like. Aye, to the bottom part. He was a hugely negative influence towards the end of his time with us. Believe it or not, but I have it in good authority from Schteve's camp that he was. Thauvin for the first part of the season, played with Sissoko. Doumbia is French speaking too (I think). Riviere, Gouffran, Haidara, Saivet, Mbabu. Might not all be first team regulars at the time, but they are involved in training every day and around the squad.
