Moussa Sissoko for me showed better than Pogba throughout the tournament

Newcastle have slapped a £35 million price tag on him FFS despite him being shit all of last season.
They'll be lucky.

He's always been the same, great when motivated and in the spotlight. Anonymous and lazy otherwise, if he'd put the effort in every game for Newcastle over the last few seasons they wouldn't have been relegated and he'd have got a big move by now.

He's a helluva an athlete but that mainly showed when he was given the freedom to run straight at defences which tended to part like the Red Sea in the Euros. I'm not sure if he's been allowed to do that in the Newcastle set up or whether he was just demotivated last season.

How do you actually write "a helluva an athlete"? "A helluvan" seems wrong and "a hell of an" is way too British. Or can I just make it up as it's borrowed from the American version of the language?

Never knew there were so many sissoko experts on here

Pay attention, you could learn something here Boggy.

He's an average box to box midfielder who's upped his game for a European Championship final.

Don't be tryna hype him up. He'll end up at somewhere like galatasary for £7million

Spoke to my Geordie mate about him this afternoon.

The general opinion up there is that he's shite.

I'd go with "Helluva n'athlete" because it looks a bit French.

Like him.

Didn't realise you were a Sissoko expert.

Anyway all you've done there is dumbed down my post, express yourself man.

Is it possible to dumb down your posts ..?

Getting clever with those comebacks now! Careful though or you'll lose touch with Scott.

I'll take that as a no

Burnley hoping to sign Lee Chung Yong from Palace according to the Guardian.

Lightweight ponce Nat?

he's still a good player, never really got a chance at Palace but he would be a decent signing i think Copper

If we were getting the player of 5/6 years ago then it would be a great signing.

he was starting to get back to his best with us after looking very average for a long while after he recovered from his broken leg. 
As i said he didn't get much of a look in at Palace so it's pot luck really, but he would be a decent squad player i think

His recent spell at Palace proved he is a Championship player, nothing more.

Another player who can't cross to save his life.

Despite some good spells for Bolton, the majority was anonymous shite.

I actually agree with Whittam, he flattered to deceive by putting in some good performances but in the main was innefective particularly when we were in the championship.
In mitigation I'd say he (maybe this applies to Mavies too) he's an intelligent player who needs other players on his wavelength to take advantage of the things he does, 
Palace was  a bad move IMO because their game was based on speedy counter attacks with Puncheon, Zaha and Bolassie so he didn't really fit into that.

You've just described most of our "senior pros" for the last 4 years.

Clever enough to work out that they're on a good screw for doing cock all and happy to take advantage of a deluded chairman who thought he was running Barcelona and handed out contracts to match.

Everyone comes round in the end. Believe it or not but Breadman once argued every point I made.
