Transfer Rumour Moussa Sissoko

[NQsDiscoPants]

And what do Newcastle fans know about football?

A lot of them know plenty - not that you need to be a footballing ayatollah to spot a bloke who flagrantly doesn't give a [Poor language removed].

Are you on drugs?

No, but the press is. Seen that price quoted a few times

Then again, that's probably why he hasn't been offloaded yet if true

Another counter attack specialist. We are going to be unstoppable this season if we set up accordingly. Bolasie, Barkley, Mirralas, Lukaku, Delefeou and hopefully Sissoko - they could make Mahrez and Vardy look tame.

Problem is when we have the ball and need someone who can see a pass against a team sitting deep.

There's two issues though. Is his attitude bad? Looks like it has been at Newcastle, definitely.

Is he bad? I don't think so. Villa fans didn't seem to rate Gueye that much but he's been brilliant for us. Different managers, systems, positions, everything plays a factor. He looked much better for France at the Euros, where all 3 of the aforementioned things were different.

I'm prepared to give him a chance anyway, if he's someone Walsh and/or Koeman rates.

You have a pleasant way with words.

By the way - Walsh's major skill is seeing players that haven't worked very well in a particular club/position/system, but would fit perfectly for what his club needs. He'll have flops and this may be one but it could go very well.

Somewhat with @Durham Toffee in imagining a fruitful Gueuye/Sissoko partnership.

His attitude at Newcastle has been shameful. He visibly didn't care.

Get on the Idrissoko Train.

You're mistaken. That's the Gullible Express

That falls down in naming blends.

Tut tut

I'd guess you'd work a little harder for Ronald Koeman than Steve McClaren.

You're right. Ronald Koeman needs to slot himself in at sweeper.

Nor did Rom for the last 10 games of last season.Seems Ronnie has cheered him up.
