Ex-Spurs Player Moussa Sissoko

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Still have faith in him coming good though but if Poch insists on playing him as a winger might as well write him off from now.This winger experiment better be some way of getting him settled and giving him game time or i'm going to be fuming if we actually spent 30m on him for wing depth.
 
I don't think there was to many of us that were over the moon with his signing. Seemed a strange one then and still does. But he's here now playing and wearing our shirt, so i'll keep my fingers crossed that Poch can improve and intergrate him.
As pointed out earlier in the thread he plays regularly in a decent French team ahead of some good players.
So he must have something about him, just a shame he's keeping it a fucking secret.

Maybe he is just there to provide some balance to the team? Technically not the greatest kind of player, but does the basics well and covers ground, allowing other players to express themselves more in the creative area? Perhaps a bit like how Paulinho got in the Brazillian side and Kuijt in the Dutch one...
 
Wasn't Dembele's discussed?
No, the ref was breaking something else up. Beck was looking right at the incident, but he must have said he didn't see it too.
The ref and the linesman cannot say they didn't see it.
If they do say that they didn't see it, may as well do away with retrospective action as it's not retrospective it's media induced action.
I didn't see them all calling for Gerrrard to be banned and how may blatant elbows did he get way with caught on camera.
Why didn't they make a fuss about Huth on reid last year when they replayed the incident about 10 times but took no notice of it?
Sky TV are not there to decide who gets punished for what, the ref is. He saw it and so did the linesman.
That's what I don't get. If they decide to make nothing of it there's no media induced calls for action.
Surely that's not correct.

He will be banned. Ref and assistant clearly didn't see the elbow...if they write in their report we saw it but felt it didn't warrant any action they will be for the chop...THEY DID NOT SEE IT! Therefore he will be banned retrospectively
 
Only good thing to come of this match will be his ban.

Buying him for the bench was fine, but all these minutes for him lately are a head sctacher.

There are 2-3 other fit players better at any position or function he could serve.

Especially when GK is better than him...
 
Had my doubts about his attitude before we signed him (whoring himself to Woolwich, only raising his game when spotlight was on him, reputation for diving, very vocal about leaving Newcastle etc) but willing to see what Poch can do with him. It's going to be a tough ask for poch because at his age, Sissoko shouldn't have so many rough edges. As for the elbow, I think he meant it alright. If he escapes punishment he's a lucky lad.
