I've always heard Sissoko want to join Arsenal. He's been awesome for Newcastle in EPL and for France in Euro! Just need opinions of you all about him, and eds about his transfer!?
{Ed001's Note - he does not do enough for my liking. Reminds me of Yaya Toure, can be incredible, but can't be arsed most weeks to bother breaking sweat and so you have to carry him.}

Is he what we need? Our MF is pretty congested as it is and although I'd make an exception for Pogba or Inesta we really have to find a CF CB and naturally RMF player before we worry about anything else.

Thanks for the reply, Ed! This first half he's had a wonderful game!

Crap at Toon but been good at Euro's.
Shop window?

I think you were very polite there Ed, he really has never been awsome, not ever in the EPL, but looks great at the euros. Possibly has a twin brother.
{Ed001's Note - I meant to say 'could be incredible' rather than can.}

Thanks for clarifying, and yes, he could be!
10 Jul 2016 21:43:05
I understand you, Ed! He went totally missing in the second half!
{Ed001's Note - that is what he does. Newcastle would be very happy to sell.}

i'd love him as a squad player tbh. Probably small money compared to a lot of other options, powerful physique and capable of dynamite runs. Would definitely add depth to us. Don't think he's good enough for first team regular for the reasons mentioned above but maybe in a "larger" setup there'd be a fire lit under him, especially if he has to fight for a place.

Replacement for ox or walcott would be interesting, at least he would be available to play. We need some power and pace too.

Newcastle have put a 35mill price tag on cissoko lol for 1 good game really.

Great player, probably has a stinky attitude because he's still playing at a club well beneath him. Correct me if I'm wrong but was it him who scored a brave against Chelsea on his Newcastle debut? Definitrly has been incredible and can be still - agree with the fact that most of the time he doesn't look arsed though!
