Nobody Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I want to keep Wijnaldum, but Sissoko can get fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemagpie Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Apparently Sissoko has been told if he doesn't show the right attitude he'll rot in the reserves! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Happy to keep Gini because he can actually play football; get rid of Sissoko for as much as possible and move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Apparently Sissoko has been told if he doesn't show the right attitude he'll rot in the reserves! Really? Where's this from?

U2 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Rafa's comments are just the complete opposite of the crap we had to put up with for years from Pardew Rafa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Apparently Sissoko has been told if he doesn't show the right attitude he'll rot in the reserves! That message should be brought across to the entire team. Be non-existent or not even try on the pitch and you can rot in the reserves/ kiss your international career goodbye.

Stal Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'd still like to know where this was from, but I totally agree and Rafa seems to demonstrate this (the Taylor substitution for example). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I know the whole narrative with Sissoko and Wijnaldum is that they are "cowards" or "go missing" and that they both "couldn't give a s***" but I really want to keep both of them. I know there will be a huge question mark over their application and willingness to continue playing for us but if there is one man who can sort this its Rafa. Plus they will both be disgusting in the championship, Barton was one of the best players down there last season FFS. I get that there will be fans on here saying daft stuff like snap their hands off for anything more than £3m for Sissoko, that's just the nature of fan forums, but I absolutely trust Rafa to hold players accountable to their contracts and make them perform this season. If we get an offer we can't turn down then obviously we can look at it and make a decision, but he's sending out exactly the right message here: of a leader in total control of the situation who will make sure we are in the premier next season.

Kanji Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 tons of people on this forum have said the same about Moussa and Gini. A massive offer should be the only reason to sell, and I'd be happy to if we get a massive offer for both - Rafa will use those funds to buy us better players anyway.

Hughesy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Absolutely bizarre that on one of those Chronicle polls on what fee we should sell Wjnaldum for, the figure that has the highest number of people voting is 14-16 million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Not gonna lie, I'd probably sprint towards Rafa like them if I seen him too I'd be like a dog after their owner comes back from vacation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutly this, plus a midfield three of Wini, Sissoko and Richie in the championship would get 20+ goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
