supporter 3,088 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think, Moussa sissoko, would be a risky option for us.He is a great player, obviously, but he is a box to box player, and we need a defensive midfielder who also could be backup of Matic.I think Imbula could be a more interesting option for us.But if we finally signed Moussa sissoko I think he might bring us many things (a great player, adapted to the Premier League, a lung in midfield and plenty of physical strength). But, perhaps the largest aportacion that would make to us Moussa sissoko is its great aportacion with long distance shots. This is a big problem for us, and he could solve this problem that we have.Although, personally, I prefer Imbula (besides, the price would be quite similar).Regards to ALL.

The Chels 2,502 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Numerous players (e.g. Salah and Willian) do well against us because we afford them them lots of space and the opportunity to play on the counter attack. We end up buying them and realise they are not so good in tight spaces and against deep-lying defences which is what we mostly face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Would be good if we sell Salah and Schurrle to bring Cuadrado and Sissoko. Not gonna happen, but it would give us plenty of options. While Sissko can play anywhere he is best in RM/LM and he would play there most of time. But if either Cuadrado and Willian is unavailable, than he can jump in too. He would add some character and power to side, but he will be very expensive and it probably wont happen.Sissoko is more than good to start for us in PL games, question is if he can improve and play in CL too.

didierforever 7,349 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Eh, he's a centre-midfielder...why compare to Salah exactly?!?he has played as a RW all his neecastle career and inspite of being a CM, he has done a pretty good job there.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 On his day he is a prime essien but so inconsistent. For a decent fee worth the gamble. But if we sign him it will be cos mikel and rami are out of form and not a right wing solution. Our starting formation s ok. He would add something of a physical presence replacing either of cesc or os when rotated in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Physical presence, drive, energy and long distance shooting. Mini essien. We probably need him for defensive cover in the big games to replace luiz of last season. Mikel is not the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 He's a quality option for the summer, but not as the RW we are looking for right now. Cant see him adding something from that position, he does it well in Newcastle because they play on counter attacks. I like him in the middle, and he could be a good cheaper partner than Pogba for Matic and Cesc, for the games we're in the need for more power in the middle. Through I think the best type of player for us would be someone who can also play in Matic's position AND play like Sissoko in the '8', maybe Imbula though I don't know him too well. Or we'll sell both Mikel and Ramires and get two new guys for their spots in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,353 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'd actually like this signing, he's an Essien on his day and provides the cover in midfield, not cup tied either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King11Didier 916 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It can be a really good signing. He can be a really good Matic partner. Cesc is not for that role, but Sissoko can play really good on that position and can form exciting duo with the Serbian. You all say that he is like Essien, but I think of him as a better version of Ramires He is fast and can play on the same positions as Rami, but I think Sissoko is more powerful and has a really good shot, which can be really helpful in some matches. I'm really hoping there is at least 30% true in these rumours connecting him with Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jernej93 569 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 He is beast I would love him here. Great rotational player but IMO in central midfield and also as defensive midfielder and not as winger ... get rid of Mikel and get him instead !!

quickpassnmove 924 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 seems like the player Chelsea need --even after getting a new winger, to win something this season. Jose, what do you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 This would be a very clever signing, and would complete a good window for us if it was to happen along with Cuadrado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
