    For anyone wondering what the turning at the training ground joke is, the filth are right next door.

    Wish him well. Didn't carry the big price tag well at first, but never gave less than 100% and for 18 months he was a very important member of the squad. And he has always been a model professional by all accounts.
    Will do a job for the Hornets. Just hope he delays that for a few days!

    Agree with LotS, got a lot of time for players that give their all and Moussa did that. Wish him well. Covered for many a dodgy right back

    Agreed, can't fault his professionalism and in the 18/19 season he was brilliant. Just a shame he didn't have that form in the other 4 seasons. Seemed a very popular guy around the place too.

    Should do well for Watford, likely replaces the outgoing Hughes.

    Massively unfair. And untrue.

    Mundo Deportivo now jumping on it too. Saying we've accelerated talks and Barca themselves expect to find an agreement.

    This has seriously been a good news day!

    Maybe I’m harsh but to me he’s a donkey with an engine. Tried his best ultimately it wasn’t good enough.

    If Spurs want to be winners then can’t afford to have dross like Sissoko anywhere near.

    It would've been wrong to not give him the sendoff that Toby and Lamela got


    Was he the Dembele replacement we needed? No. But there's no denying that he didn't give his all for a couple of seasons, even if he seemed to be breaking down last season

    I think some fans are just suckers for pain and punishment so they don't like seeing players like him leave, lol.

    Wish the guy all the very best, genuinely seems a good bloke and a well respected member of the dressing room but my days he was **** awful for many years, only Winks has been worse than him in that time frame (and I think we're gonna be lumbered with the latter). If he'd played like he did in the 18/19 season in all of his seasons, it'd been a completely different story though, he was genuinely quality that year and rightly won the Legend's POTY.

    Another farewell vid, although as someone has pointed out in the replies (which I rarely read funnily enough), on 2:13 they’ve shown a piece of play by Ndombele and not Sissoko <doh>

    Another journo reporting on Moriba now.

    Albert Roge is pretty much saying we've agreed the fee with Barca but now Moriba needs to decide if he wants to join us or wait a year to sign for Leipzig on a free (presuming he may have had a verbal agreement with them?).

    Other reports have previously suggested he prefers a move to us over Leipzig, so fingers crossed.

    Yeah he’s a nice bloke and good professional, but for me I feel about him as you do towards Winks.

    I'm still concerned that his father seems to be backseating this whole thing, which is what is more likely to push him in the direction of Monster Energy Dusseldorf

    I’ve seen similar reports, that his representatives have a lucrative pre-agreement for him to move to Leipzig (signing bonuses etc) but that the player doesn’t want to spend a year in Barca reserves, so that’s why he wants the move to us. Basically down to the player now.

    Yeah definitely looks like his Dad is just wanting to make a fat wedge and doesn't give a **** about where his boy ends up, so long as he get paid.

    I'd like to think that with the amount of journalists that have been jumping on this story and seemingly insisting it's us who Moriba wants, the deal should get done. It's now at a stage where I'd be pretty disappointed if it doesn't happen, such is the belief from so many reporters.

    We know Pep was only using Kane as a smokescreen while pursuing Sissoko.

    Shouldn't he be pursuing OJ Simpson's lawyers?

    It also has to be said his agent does have one particularly notable ****up on their resume...
