Will he go on a permanent or a loan this month...Or will Rafa make him stay? I can't quite decide but will choose the loan option as I think tuere may be no major takers for him now.... Surely a deal would be done by now if there was a genuine suitor?
Think he will go - there are still 2 weeks left in the window but suspect we will lower the asking price. Think he would be ideal in China - he's like half the goods they make anyway. Works well at first and then doesn't function after the first few weeks.
Pardew has asked the club to go get him! Considering our "bad Transfer Policy" Alan had tried to sign, Krul, Dummeet, Colo and now Sissoko. On top of signing Cabaye and Townsend. He would have had Wijnaldum too and no soubt he will be linked with more of our players in the near future. Hopefully Sissoko has a severe lack of options and has to sign for palace! Palace then get relegated, we sign Townsend and Pardew and Sissoko both leave Palace claiming they are Real Madrid Quality! That would make my year!
To be fair I don't think we need the cash from him to buy. We have still to spend all the Gini money. Plus Rafa seems to have a way of tickling Mikes belly so he releases funds as required. We will end up well in profit but I think that is ok as Rafa has had the freedom to do what he pleases. He certainly can't complain about funds, activity or control. He has zero excuses.
Does Sissoko want to go? Its been a good 48 hours or possibly more since he was involved in an interview explaining how he was too good for us and that he wants to leave as soon as possible. He doesnt usually leave it this long! Maybe he's been kidknapped or even worse! He's had a change of heart! Does he have a heart? I suppose it wont be long until he is updating us on where he wants to go and how flattered he is with all the clubs interested in him
Sissoko is a classic case of a footballer that is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Weather that is ego driven or his agent in his ear all of the time, who knows. A very good player 'on his day' he is far too inconsistent and is a mid table PL player at best. If he goes to Crystal Palace then that's about his level. All his talk about the big guns of Europe showing interest is just pure waffle on his part. The fact is at this moment in time nobody of note seems to be chomping at the bit to sign him. NUFC need to cash in on him asap. He is clearly unsettled and has proved on more than one occasion that he is more than willing to do **** all for the team. Lets get him out for £20m + and get somebody with a bit of hunger and desire through the door. Somebody that actually wants to wear the shirt.
I'm more pissed off that we have an alleged player worth £35M according to the club not sodding playing matches despite him earning a shed load of cash and us losing the games! Either there is a club lined up and were just waiting for certain deals to go through or Sissoko is being a knob in which case fine him all these weeks wages and banish him to the U21's
I think he will go with his tail between his legs. Apparently Crystal Palace St Gardens want to sign him!
Everton and Inter allegedly. I reckon Everton is tailor made for him, but again you have to ask are Everton a much bigger club than Newcastle? They are bigger, in terms of success and history, but last year we were all in the same pot really.
I'd love him to go to Palace, but I dont think Pardew will be given the money. He is skating on thin ice right now, what is it? one or two league wins this calendar year? If they are going to give him the boot or are even considering it, I dont think they will give him £25-35M to spend on a player. Everton seems more feasible, but even still im not sure. I hope Inter come in and we rarely ever hear of him again!
