I guess I'm one of the few that really rates Sissoko on his day. He's a mammoth unit, pacey and can carry the ball past players with ease. He's one of the few MF's in the world that can do what Demebele does for us.

His issues with motivation and effort at Newcastle are well known, but when he was tuned in (either for Newcastle - especially against big teams on TV - or for France) he was immense. If Poch could consistently tap that out of him, he'd be one of the best CM's in Europe.
 
Tbf it's at the point where I don't really care about the fee. £30 million is the new 15 and Sissoko would be a good addition to the squad.

He's a massive upgrade on Bentaleb and Mason and could play further forward as well.

I think this 'cooling interest' is bollocks. The deal makes sense for all parties, he's left the France training camp. Levy will just be trying to work out how much he can get away with in add-ons.
 
Can't get excited by £30m for Sissoko. Decent Euro for sure, but when even the Geordie fans (deluded bunch of fanatics) say he's lazy, then you've got to wonder. He didn't shine in a relegated team. Why not just go the whole hog & pay a decent fee for Isco?
 
I'm not saying he's better. I'm saying he's Chadlis replacement.
Fair enough, a hyphen would have been a better choice of punctuation then.
