Wishlist Moussa Sissoko

[lucio 5,418]

Moussa Sissoko the poor man's Pogba?

less tricks , just pure bulldozing

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Nasri doesnt start for France, nor does koschielny

Good thing about sissoko is his versatility. He can play in the pivot or one of the three am positions as well. Similar to rambo, except sissoko has very good technical ability and power.

that may be true, but that logic can be applied to anyone doing well in a lesser premier league club. and i dont see it as a reason not to buy someone.

and there is no shame in being behind matuidi and pogba

While that is true, we simply are not club who gives players many chances. Therefore even if we get him for 10m and he doesnt perform well enough, it will be wasted buy. I much prefer one quality player over 5 cheaper ones. But obv., in january Sissoko for 10m (or whatever the price) would add something different to our team for sure.

Only question is if we need changes right now, or wait for better options in summer.

Just pointing out, players like Schneiderlin, Sissoko or Mirallas would improve our bench big time, but Im not sure if they are starters. If we are looking for Ramires replacement, then Sissoko is fine. But if we are looking for someone to play next to Matic, its another thing. While Sissoko is good (bit inconsistent and gets lot of cards), he was never realy tested in big teams and who knows, maybe he explodes here or we will need to buy again in summer. Obv if we buy him, atm Im not sure if we are even linked with him.,..

Agree with everything you say - just interested to hear other opinions.

For me he's a confidence player (I know all players are to some extent) - if Jose put the effort in he could make this lad immense - would love him and Matic in the pivot - massive strength and ability.

For once I'd love us to sign an underperfomer and make them an absolute superstar... Dan Petrsecu is probably the last time that happened

He says that he does not want to leave.

With Pardew going... Plus who would join Arsenal

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Like him but he's not a RW?

[didierforever 7,349]

Good player. Light years better than salah. But he improves our bench, I think we need to improve our first team RW option.

[WNDS 502]

Yep, I've just seen this on twitter. Normally anything on Goal.com can be ignored, but this development has been reported by Duncan Castles who has connections at the club and is fairly reliable. The article states that we nonetheless remain confident of signing either Costa or Cuadrado, and that Mourinho is willing to get rid of both Salah AND Schurrle to cover the cost of the transfer.

Eh, he's a centre-midfielder...why compare to Salah exactly?!?

[Topico 165]

Would rather have Milner for free in summer.

[lucio 5,418]

Great player. For rcm in 433. In competition with ramires

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

honestly from Cuadrado to Costa to Sissoko(who is not a bad player) but still a huge drop in quality. Why the fuk can't we be linked with Reus, Bale...etc instead of these above average/decent players.

Problem is we don't play that much anymore, maybe like 10 games a year max when we play the big teams away from home as evident by Ramires being dropped for the majority of this season.

[LondonsFinest 692]

He's playing on the right for Newcastle, but he drifts in to help the midfield a lot. So I don't think a natural born box - to - box CM wold solve a RW solution. Even if it means being a back - up.

[Zone 290]

We've been raped everytime by him when facing Newcastle. I enjoy watching his game, relentless running and determination. Would absolutely love him at the club for any position.

[Waterfall 893]

I'm a big fan of Sissoko. Think he could be good for us.

because we are looking at Salah/Schurrle's replacement. We are not going for a Galactico signing in January.

Reus wants R. Madrid. Bale would cost at least £50m probably more. For £20-£30m who else can the club go for?
