Good post mate, although I think most teams would be over the moon to have Sissoko in their squad. I'm more than happy with Anita, Cabaye and Ben Arfa in midfield, but Tiote is a shadow of his former self this season. You right about Ba as well, not totally convinced with Gouffron, but he's scored 14 in his last 31 apparently.
Christ there is more worrying/dissecting of newcastle's next few games/signings on this board then there is on our board. Let us worry about what might be, don't concern yourselves with it. These frech players we have signed who may turn out to have no fight in them..... Well I'm sure you would welcome debuchy, sissoko and mbiwa at Sunderland. As to wher they all fit in. They fit into the squad. Squad being the word. Something we haven't had all season for one reason or another.
Slightly less surprising is that you are on here to see the articles in question..Although I do tend to agree with you regarding some of our fans being overly concerned with your signings..
Jarra, you are my mate & I have a lot of time for you. However, it bothers me not one jot who Newcastle sign & I wish some of our lot would shut the **** up about it as it quite frankly, is embarrassing. Are you back at sea yet?
