Now it’s stuck in my head I just can’t stop singing it.
Wasnt Sissoko already in the France squad just before and after he joined us.
He was. Lost his spot since he didn't get much game time in his first year with us. So he has fought his way back not only in his club team, but his national team now
What's French for Renaissance?
ochfacepalm:
A veritable rebouef....
Exactly. If people arent going to blame Poch for Sissoko losing his spot in the national team, then they cant give him the credit either for Sissoko gaining his place back. Id say its been mainly due to Sissoko's own honest hard work.
Eh?
Poch made him play badly at the begining of his tenure?
The amount of shit the gaffa indirectly got for playing him... Now he doesn't deserve credit for persevering/supporting him?
....If i'm not mistaken Sissoko himself has already given Poch a nod when talking about his early days here.
Don’t rush back Captain
Of course not. And Poch is also not the reason hes playing better now. He got into the France team before joining us and hes got in there again through his own good form.
...Funny, thought my post addressed this in the part you opted not to quote.
Honestly, you really that motivated to double down in order to deny the gaffer such mild praise?
I'll move on...
We can praise Poch for helping Winks get in the England squad . Just dont think Poch is particularly relevant in Sissoko managing to get in the france team. He used to be able to do that without any involvement from Poch before he joined us.
Yeah sissoko was already an established premier league player when we signed him.
Poch gave winks his chance.
Although his signing was derided by so many at the time, the fact that he's still here, has made so many appearances, seems to take pride in playing for the MIGHTY SPURS, and is winning the fans over....... 30million well spent at the end of the day I reckon.
We overpaid for a squad player at the time, but he is doing aight this season, maybe a decent purchase. Eriksen for £12m was a brilliant transfer, if not daylight robbery.
He's been playing great, but overall the jury is still out for me - If he's still playing like this into next year I'll hold my hands up.
Nailed it.
Is in decent form but is still a level or two below the quality of player we need in the centre of the park.
Seriously, I’m fucking chuffed, I thought we’d be stuck with him for the entirety of his contract. Last couple of weeks has given me hope we may actually find someone stupid enough to buy him.
Good old DD, just added another mil to his ticket too.
