He's scum sympathizer and best mates with Adebarndoor. The lad has a lot prove to win the hearts of majority here.

Funnily enough. Benitez is the only manager he's played under who's remotely good and he looked good under him. I'd be lazy too if my managers were John Carver and Steve McClaren.During the 2015–16 season, Sissoko was made captain for the final six games of the season, and in his first game as captain on 16 April 2016, he scored his one and only goal of the campaign in a 3-0 home victory against Swansea City.[52] This sparked a six game unbeaten run in Newcastle's relegation battle, which included credible draws against Liverpool and Manchester City, and a final day 5-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.[53] Despite this, Newcastle were unable to escape the drop zone and were relegated to the Championship.
Not a complete round up of his displays but shows a glimmer of what Benitez saw in him. Obviously hated by the Newcastle players, toxic presence in the dressing room etc. I understand not rating a player that's blatantly going to leave you but to completely deny him of any talent like 99% of the Newcastle fans on twitter is a bit daft. I'm slightly clutching at wikipedia shaped straws.
I try hard to look for positives, whilst I struggle to find any on the player, I can comfort myself with the knowledge that Poch is the best coach I have seen at Spurs, he really does make players better. If he can sort this bloke out then he should get a knighthood. Also it just so happens our Captain is also the Captain of France, he can't hide. He has to be on point 24/7 failure to toe the line will result in him loosening a place in the French squad. (Lloris & declaim are tight).
VDV was backing us. This signing is taking the piss. It's a huge gamble on a player who is very inconsistent, often can't be arsed, got relegated, and who's attitude often stinks. I love your optimism, but this is one if the most depressing transactions we've done, as it shows how much our money - as fans, supporters, subscribers - is treated like shit.Leaving the gooner stuff aside for a moment...
I'll admit I very rarely watch live football on TV. I go to most our games, and don't watch any other team (don't have sky TV). So maybe I'm not best placed to judge. But whenever I've seen Sissoko, against us or on MOTD or most recently in the euros, he's looked fucking quality. So even if he has bad days or a poor attitude, I firmly think Poch will get the best out of him, and the best is very fucking good. I'm delighted that Levy has finally backed us in a transfer window.
Not sure if he has influence with Poch, they are clearly on the same page though. But he does with Dechaumps, heard he didn't want Nasri (if you couldn't love him any more) and wanted him out the squad. Just hope Sissoko feels eyes are on him.Good point regarding Lloris, I'm sure he would have had input into poch's decision making.

N'jie has had so many injury problems and never got a chance and Yedlin definitely had more to offer I believe, and showed he was of premier league quality at Sunderland. Shame he left.Njie and Yedlin off the top of my head.
Sorry, has anyone suggested that Man Utd should have bought Sissy instead of Pogba? No. And Lamela, Soldado and Son were all helping their clubs to be successful, both domestically and in Europe. £30m for this guy is an absolute joke.While i feel his attitude is worrying, i dont think its quite the gamble that soldado, paulinho, lamela or even son was. He has put in performances in the premier league that have earned him comparisons to toure. His performances in the euros were spot on and had people saying he was worth more than pogba and he fills a role that only demble can seem to fill for us at the moment.
