Sissako looks to be heading to Russia unless you've heard something

Aye

As much as I love our club, I don't think we are quite yet at the stage where Standard Liege players are going to rip up their contracts and go on strike to come and sign for us.

they might do that for somewhere thats going to pay them a **** load of money. thats not us.
 
Realistically he won’t be a starter once Ballard is fit though. And if Sissako signs which is rumoured to be happening, even further down the pecking order. But he’s a very good utility player to have in the squad, he surprised me today but Rotherham were awful.
It's not just today though, he had a great game Vs Norwich aswell

He's was all over in the first half. He should have conceded a penalty for throwing a lad two the ground on a corner.

He also got luck he didn't catch their lad with a flying two footer down on the byline. Thankfully their lad stepped around him and went straight into the box.

Work to be done, but he'll get found out by the teams in the top 6.

I get what you are saying but not a chance I would drop O’Nien after the last two games. Even if Ballard was fit.
 
Yep,I understand your point. However, we have been playing with wingers....they've been pushed up and supported by midfield doubling up alongside. The task of the coach has been to convert these wingers into wing backs with a defensive duty.The problem,I think,with the recruitment has been the attacking nature,rather than,let's say, a conventional, more defensively inclined wing back.
I'm starting to think attack is the best form of defence, 2 number 9s is not a scenario most teams have to deal with, full on attack rather than possession football or defensive is not something teams play against much. We'll have to adapt as time goes on but loving everything SAFC right now
 
Well all this leaves me wondering who is on the way out,who’s the mystery player prehab spoke to 2nite and when and where we fit these young lads in ‍♂️ Just as well I’m on nightshift other wise there wouldn’t be much sleep
