Bit of a strange decision IMO, The Spurs policy is to sell at 30 or kill them a la Logans Run style, not give them 4 years extra, odd but who knows?
Agree 100% that the management of the squad, including signing of too many average overseas trained players ( we are restricted to a maximum of 17 so for example having 3 overseas trained HG players is a waste of one valuable overseas trained player space) has got poorer since Poch joined.
I'd also agree that Sissoko at £30m was poor value for money as was Aurier (when Pereira was available for the same money ).
But we are where we are.
Sissokos contract was running out in June 2021, and with it being very possible we need to replace all or some of Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Eriksen, Rose , Wanyama (5 players and maybe one or two others) in January or the summer, we would be unlikely to add Sissoko to that list and make it longer. With player values decreasing where players have 2 years left on the contract, it become stick or twist - don't renew the contract and he goes for not a lot or issue a new contract and preserve value.
He's a strong lad with no history of long injuries so it looks like Poch has extended the contract as we need him for the short term to have the number of CMs we need.
Pragmatic in the circumstances.
He's not my type of player and I'd prefer to replace him with someone who can pass after breaking through the lines. And I don't want him to cause Skipps career to stagnate or (maybe next season ) for White and,,/or Bowden career to be delayed
So I hope as a quid pro quo that DL has made the point that theiri need to be more youth players coming through to both Poch and McDermott as that is a vital source of HG players that cannot be ignored.
Btw on the youth thread is news if a tie up with Brondeby which I hope is youth development related, and you might want to look at the Squad thread for info on contract lengths etc which shows how the Sissoko contract extension fits into the overall squad management.
why cant he try shooting the ball better, 30 years old and cant shoot the fucking ball. its insane1!!!
You are not going to add value to a 32yo shit footballer by giving him a wage increase and extension, you are just narrowing your potential market. We’re basically doubling down on Poch’s fuck up which has already cost us 44m.
I have no faith at all in Poch being persuaded to make better use of the academy, if anything he’s got further away from that ethos.
I just pray his recent whining about no longer having as much say in recruitment is true.
WOWOW
Giving a new contract to 30 year old Sissoko.
What a huge slap in the face to Jan, Toby, Rose, etc etc
Banter aside would be the last player of the current squad I would give an extension
Can’t judge the new signings in 4 games sammy. Sissoko was fucking terrible for two years. Let’s give the new lads a yearIf you’re 100% honest, you will admit he’s looked ten times the player Ndombele has for us, other than the fact Ndombele can shoot and his one shot in 4 games went in
