Lowensda 3,394 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I can only assume it's because we're getting desperate and that others have turned us down. Unfortunately, it looks like it on the surface. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

markjazzbassist 3,336 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 i would take a swap for mccarthy plus some cash. 20m should be the most we spend on him. we do need a healthy reinforcement for barry or gana. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EFC-Paul 1,062 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 If and it's a big if he can consistently replicate his Euro form then I'd be all for it as a swap +cash for McCarthy but I very much doubt he's be able to do it Played shite for Newcastle and only showed up when the world's sporting spotlight was on him obviously putting himself in the shop window I'd be disappointed if he's genuinely a target for the money being touted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
markjazzbassist 3,336 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Here we go! Everton are in talks with Newcastle to sign Moussa Sissoko, according to Sky sources. Newcastle want £30 million for the France midfielder and are willing to accept payment in five installments of £6m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Isaiah 276 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Having a few half-decent games for a 3-week spell in that France team alongside the likes of Pogba is one thing (and it should be said they only beat one good team all tournament). Doing it in the Premier League on a consistent basis is something else and he has shown he doesn't do that. 30 million is fucking madness. Really hope this doesn't come off.

Matt 8,284 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 SISSOKO UPDATE Sky sources understand Newcastle will sell Moussa Sissokoto Tottenham. We understand Newcastle want £30m for the midfielder and the club will accept five payments of £6m per instalment. Here we go! Everton are in talks with Newcastle to sign Moussa Sissoko, according to Sky sources. Newcastle want £30 million for the France midfielder and are willing to accept payment in five installments of £6m. It's more or less a copy paste of what they said earlier. Sign of hope?

chicagoblue 506 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 For what it's worth.... when I was in France over the summer, local fans there have said he's always been great, and was turned to shit by Newcastle. Wouldn't be the strangest thing. He won't bring the trickery we wanted from Brahimi, but he is a powerful unit and can certainly drive us forward. As I recall he can play more or less across the midfield line. Get him on a payment plan and it's basically like a paid loan. He does't work out there'll be teams abroad that will subsidize most of our cost on the deal. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If morishi doesn't deliver the "it's an insane window" won't cut it with me I mean in fairness we've already gotten Stekelenburg and Gueye on the cheap, both of which have played to a much higher value thus far, locked up Ailliams and splashed some cash on Bolasie.. It hasn't been a bad window imo. That said, could really use a striker. I'm surprised about all the Sissoko / Brahimi talk rather than tons of activity surrounding goal scorers. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

c1982 2,773 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Play him centrally and he'll potentially be a very good signing. Proper box to box player with power, pace and ability to get past players. Barry is great but this will probably be his last season and he's not going to play every game - Gueye, Barkley and Sissoko could be a very dynamic midfield trio for years to come. Let's hope we get the player that outshone Kante, Pogba and Matuidi at the Euro's and not the player who played mostly on the wing over the last few seasons in a very disorganised and mismanaged Newcastle team.
