Slight upgrade on Ramires. 

I don't see the need for a CM, tbh, already enough bodies for the position.

Why the eagerness to add another midfielder?

(Always thought Sissikho was a decent player. End product is a bit off, but as a powerful, athletic, box-box player, he's alright).

I'd like this to happen just to piss off the spuds

That's fine by me as long as he never actually plays.

I managed to get a cheeky tenner on him at 25/1 so i hope we sign him now!

I want us to let RLC and Chalobah play. There's no need in more CM, we need a defender. 

don't forget the absolute blinder of a performance from him against germany & portugal

 

at this point, wouldn't mind him at all

FWIW I still think we're lacking a box to box CM who can compete physically in the big games so in that respect I'll be happy if we sign him. Would prefer Brozovic though, could be a top centre mid in a few years whereas Sissoko is a 'finished product'.

He has an awful attitude, and for 30 games a season he'll offer absolutely nothing. He's a terrible player.

We're basically talking about a French Stephen Ireland.

He hates Tottenham, he hates Tottenham...

Kante, Matic, Oscar, Fabregas, Chalobah, RLC, Mikel, Van Ginkel (still at Chelsea) - That's 8 without Sissokho.

Yep, he's crap. Has one or two really good games and then people forget the other 15 games that he was crap in.

When did he become so sought after, he's been absolute jank at Newcastle for years now. 

He was incredible at the Euro's! he would definitely be a very good player to have in the squad, we could bully teams with Kante - Matic - Sissoko in midfield. in those games where we park the bus or are looking to hold onto a lead.

Incredible is pushing it a bit. He had one good game and then was bollocks in the final. France cocked up playing him over Kante. 

 

It's like the point i made above. He has one or two good games and then everybody forgets about all of the bad ones.

True. Maybe one of those players who rises to the big occasion and playing at Tolousse and Newcastle has seen him play within himself? (He always seems to find a few extra gears when playing against Chelsea.)

Why do i get the feeling this is blatant agent ploy to shift Spurs into gear.

 

Only the fact we apparently want a midfielder; and theyll take 5 installments of £6m makes me think we may entertain it.

I say incredible because i just wasnt expecting it at all, he was very good in the final. i couldn't believe my eyes!

That's why we got Chalobah for this.

How many midfielders do we need at the club, Jesus..

 

surely the focus should be on defenders and strikers, we're overstocked in the middle of the park, that's the last position we need anyone in!

i dont see him having a future at Chelsea, and Chalobah cant do what Sissoko can.

Of course he won't have future at Chelsea if every year different player will come and take his position. If the kid won't have a chance to play for us we will never know if he can be better or he can't.

I hope Chalobah stays with us, but for me he should be moulded in the Kante role. At 21 he doesn't have the physicality to play box 2 box?

Who wrote the L'Equipe article and is he worth taking as credible?
