He had a couple of good games for us. Always tried hard and gave his all. Sure he couldn't kick the ball but Poch obviously liked him for his effort and you can't ever fault that. Wish him all the best if he does move on.

If it's a loan deal he can't play against us.If the Wolves rumours are true, then great. He will no doubt score against us this season... oh well. On the bright side it opens up a nice HG slot for Grealish, who appears to be a significant upgrade.
I am very much hoping it's a sale.If it's a loan deal he can't play against us.
He's never given less than 100% for us in a game. Fantastic work rate.
However... I think we as a club are a level or two above his ability. Would thrive at a Palace/Bournemouth/Brighton. Just hope someone is happy to pay up, Levy won't take a loss.
I probably worded that badly. I'm not expecting £30m back (doubt we've even paid that), but to at least recoup a fair amount on him. If it's a permanent move we are hardly going to let him go for anything less than £15m I'd think.No way on this earth will someone pay 30m for him, I'll eat a shoe if they did now.
Disagree, i don't think he has. I remember countless games where he's ducked out of a challenge or jogged back instead of tracking man.He's never given less than 100% for us in a game. Fantastic work rate.

Reportedly it was a £30m transfer fee, and then £80,000 a week for two years so far, so £38m.I probably worded that badly.

Would be interesting to know what we've paid for him to date.
Would make sense for a lot of clubs outside the top 6. 28 years old, strong, fast, tall, athletic, very premier league experienced and also an experienced international with a top nation. Can play box to box or out wide and is good at dragging the ball up the pitch. Also see’s a lot of ball and doesn’t give it away, albeit is unadventurous with it. For a safety first side, an experienced athletic French international in his prime who works his arse off and rarely loses possession could be the difference between competing or not in the games v the top 6. Hell, Mourinho has always had a Sissoko type in his squads.
With the exception of mainly Everton, I could see Sissoko improving the first team at every side from Burnley down in last year’s table.
I’m a recruiter, my livelihood depends on my ability to accentuate someone’s positives and relay their negatives in a non damning way.Have you sent this to the club's player sales department? You should. Or put it on playerbay.co.uk as it would sell him to me.

Wouldn’t date. If your wife is anything like mine, she’ll find a way to twist the positives into negatives before I’ve started. Just this morning my helpful suggestion became a row after she turned it into patronising bossiness.Oooh. Do you do wives?! (Quickly checks over shoulder to make sure slap is not incoming)
