I was talking with a mate, a plastic Citeh fan here in Africa yesterday. The conversation turned to the world cup, in particular the Spurs players who will be going. We mentioned Kane, Alli, Dier, DOF, Trippier, then he went on the say 'the Ivory Coast guy' but couldn't remember his name, I said, Aurier? he said that's right. Then the next bit came as a bit of a shock. 'That really good Frenchman'. I couldn't think of one. He said 'Sissoko, he would look really good in a Citeh shirt'. I paused, then agreed, 'the colour would definitely suit him' I said, and you wouldn't have to pay any more the £75M for him'. Shame my mate works on a mine and not on the Citeh recruitment staff. Or are we being unkind to Sissoko? Do we miss what others see? One certainly can't question his effort.
