Paolo tramezzani. would be the worst signing in our history of they had paid us to take him
Levy panicked and spent 30 million?
LEVY panicked and spent 30 million?
Levy spends half hour judging whether or not to spend 60p on a toffee crisp.
Whatever the truth about us buying Sissoko is, there is no way it is "levy panicked and spent 30 million"
I'm one of the biggest critics of Sissoko on here, but IMO 9/10 we'd be better off having him on the pitch over Onomah. I really want Onomah to turn good but I just don't understand what MP sees in him right now.
I'm not so sure. Levy likes to portray himself as a hard-nosed, calculating, sociopathic businessman. But he does have a tendency to make impulsive moves, especially when he is under pressure (mainly through his sacking and appointments of managers). More generally, Spurs have a tendency of wasting money on foreign players after they have had a good showing in a World Cup or European Championship.
Sissoko clearly has the ability, but his attitude stinks, which the Newcastle fans knew all too well, and someone at Spurs should have had the sense to listen to them before spunking 30 big ones up this arsehole.
newcastle fans will never be happy unless they have a team , squad, players, and ownership that are all geordies. and then they will start moaning about the sponsor. Sissoko made it plain that he wanted to leave. thats enough for them to whine like stuck pigs. no, he probably didnt play well last year, but they went down with a whimper.
and again, i dont believe for one second that levy made a panic buy.(if someone wants to offer me any actual evidence, im happy to take it) wanna blame someone..blame Paul Mitchell. cos he was the head of recruitment
did you watch many newcastle games when they were not on the TV then?
A group of coaches are paid a lot of money to get the best out of the players. And their answer is to have Onomah on the bench. I saw what Sissoko can do v Man City and I saw what Onomah can do v Liverpool. So yes. I wanted Sissoko as the option. You don't have your record signing dropped from the squad when the squad is paper thin.
Sometimes dealings in the world of football are just shockingly unprofessional.
Two points here. I still don't buy this "Sissoko played well against City" rubbish. I watched the game avidly and it was Wanyama who was the stand out for me and others around me.
Secondly, Sissoko being in the squad yesterday would have changed precisely nothing. He isn't a game changer.
He's already quit.
But that is how Poch sees it though given that Sissoko has been selected ahead of him (apart from yesterday).
Right. So neither Levy or Poch had anything to do with it. Your naivety is reaching new levels
Unless he needs reigning in (if that's why he was omitted). Poch has put Sissoko ahead of Onomah, can't recall Onomah even playing in PL this season.
That's not what I said.
He said whoever sanctioned it. Paul Mitchell is Head of Recruitment.
Poch quite obviously involved.
Like I said, embarrassing yourself.
I regularly drink with a group of Newcastle season ticket holders. To a man, they all say his good performances could be counted on one hand. They are utterly flabbergasted that anyone paid 30 million for him.
We shouldn't have gone anywhere near him in my opinion. It's a disaster of a signing as far as I'm concerned
He was always shit on Saturday 3pm.
"according to the sun"
do i need to say anything else? that rag's relationship with the the truth is tenous at best
