Not sure that has any relevance at all.
Sadly yes. Millionaire but no football memories as such.
Players are humans and most want what their agents can get them. I get that but how shallow the victory if and when it comes.
The essence of it mattering ceases surely to exist.
Utter nonsense, he spent two injury ravaged seasons and then fucked off. Maybe he had enough self-belief where he thought he could be a regular at City, while getting a pay rise. Can't criticise him for that.
To all the guys knocking City and PSG. I agree with the sentiment, its like getting the cheat code for FM, just buying up everyone. But are you honestly saying that if we were in that situation and winning the PL every year, doing well and maybe winning the CL AND finishing above woolwich EVERY year you would not be happy.
On saying all that when these teams rich owners get bored/old/die every one them are in the shit

That last bit about legacy being more valuable than a paycheck is laughable. How many Totti's are there in modern football these days? Players leave at the first whiff of a payrise
If you really believe that then that's your choice, but there are plenty of players out there who have shown loyalty to their club, one of our own current crop included.
I have a theory. Sissoko is only being kept because he has a good relationship with Aurier. Lucas being brought in means that we have someone else who plays well with Aurier and plays that position (might have even asked Aurier who he wanted). Now we have some time to see if this works and if it does then we can flog Sissoko for whatever anyone will pay for him in the summer and invest in another player (hopefully Malcom or Sessegnon).
So we signed sissoko a year early to help entice Aurier to join us? Seems legit.
Absolutely I would be unhappy. The club would lose much of it's charm and what I love about it. It would be soiled.
It's a rarity and I guarantee he will leave if we don't pay him what he's worth.
Yeah because Aurier is a 5 years old kid and can't fit in a dressing room so Sissoko is the big daddy...
Lucky he's currently in contract negotiations then isn't it.
A very small part of me is curious to see it fall through and see how apoplectic the melters go.
It'd be a fun watch.

You’re a sick puppy.
:avbshock:
It would be bitter sweet, you can bask in glory but at the same time you would know all of it was bought not earned.
I honestly don't think I'd consider any of Sissokos performances for us to be his best personally. He has all the physical attributes to be as good as Yaya Toure but with literally none of the mental or technical attributes I'd want to see in a professional player. Easily one of the most frustrating Spurs players in the last 10 years.
Literally my point is he's trash but he brings out the best in Aurier so we're keeping him til we have a replacement.
At first I interpreted this as referring to Aubameyang and chuckled.
Then realised it was about us.
Only for the right price.
I don't see the club giving two fucks about keeping a player around just because he's friends with another player. He's played a lot of minutes this year and that has more to do with what Poch sees in him than his relationship with Aurier.
