Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

First off Sissoko is not shit, but at £30 million, regardless of the market, it is fair to have doubts. I am convinced Poch could get something out of him, but is there enough there to warrant this type of buy? I also think that well he is pretty versatile, he doesn't have the qualities that we are truly lacking, either pace/the ability to take people on, or the ability to take over Eriksen's role if needed.
My family are season ticket holders at Newcastle and they strongly disagree with you. He turns up when he is on TV and looks like he is always playing for move despite being utter dog shit for most of the season. Townsend was better them despite only being there for half a season. Sissoko literally only runs in a straight line before overhitting a pass or a shot

Also people saying he was great at the Euro's, lets not become liverpool, they signed Origi who was great at the World cup and has been poor ever since or some of the older guys will remember Senegal were great during the 2002 world cup before liverpool brought half of the team. That turned out great as well.

Not to mention Yedlin was great during the world cup as well and he became a great player

Apparently he is injured, which could also explain it. Why bring in an injured player on a fairly short loan?

Because he possesses talent and skill that the majority of our squad does not. When healthy he would slot into our starting 11, something none of our other targets would do. My post was meant to be funny, but there can clearly be no question as to why we would be interested in bringing Isco on board.

I don't disagree, but if he is injured he can't play. We would only have him on loan, we might pay for his rehab then watch him go back to Madrid after 2 or 3 games.

Hey make no bones about it, Sissoko is a part time guy in his time at Newcastle and he could be immensely frustrating here as well. I do have faith in Poch though, and to the comments about playing well on TV or in the bigger moments, we have more of those moments to offer than anywhere he has been to this point. Don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of his, or the potential transfer, but he is capable of adding some value when he's on.
 
Has Vorm been promised a move? I don't get this obsession with goalies..
Yeah. I don't really get the Diego Alves links.

I thought Pau Lopez was signing because our two goalkeepers are in their late 20s/early 30s and he'll be groomed into being our new number 1 but I mean Alves would be the oldest goalkeeper in our team I believe which makes no sense considering we have Lloris AND Vorm.

Makes no sense mate. Lloris and Vorm imo is the best 1-2 tandem in the league and they are both young in goalkeeping terms
