However poor we think sissoko has played for us we are hardly overflowing with fully fit players in midfield...poch played him many times last season. He can make a nuisance of himself, just don’t expect h8m to finish!

Bloody hell. A genuine International footballer being allowed to leave when we are not blessed with lot’s of cover there. As it happens I guess it’s not too long until the window opens again, but a dangerous game to play imo. Let’s see if he features tonight.

Good luck to the lad. He was never shit on purpose, tried hard and helped us see out games.

He'll never be anyone's favourite player but he is far from the worst we've had wearing the shirt.

Spot on.

He is the weak link atm though as far as technique and disrupting our fluidity is concerned.

If Sissoko does move we might actually see a bit of Onomah. If so I hope he lives up to the hype.

I suspect if Dembele had left Sissoko wouldn't. Wish him all the best because he always tried but fuck will I be glad to see him go :cool:.

Cannot fault Sissoko for effort and he was actually performing slowly but surely better
But hopefully his departure means more play time for Winks, Skipp, Amos, Onomah
We got 2 DM in Dier and Victor
Impact sub in Dembele
Eriksen , Ali, Moura, Son , Lamela for the 3 attacking position
Leaves 1 slot for the likes of Winks, Skipp, Amos, Onomah with likely Winks getting most of the playtime
So we are not exactly that short of cover in midfield with Sissoko departure

Barcelona fire sale continuing with Paco Alcacer leaving for Dortmund today. Could be possibilities there in January if we're looking at midfielders in Rafinha & Denis Suarez if we deem that as a need at that point.

I deem CM as a need now, and ever since Modric left, in fact. God how I wish we had someone like Kovacic playing next to Dembele.

He and Ndombele were pretty clearly the two targets IMO. Unfortunately we weren't able to make the spots for them in the squad after Dembele was staying and no one else was gone at that point.

Why are they selling?

Fair enough.
They've got Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic, Coutinho, Arthur, Rafinha, Denis Suarez plus two youngsters to bring through in Carles Alena and Sergi Samper, not to mention the Riqui Puig kid we were after early this summer a little further down the line.
