Sissoko

Liverpool Football Club - General Discussion

Article from Liverpoolfc.tv:

Rafael Benitez is confident Mali midfielder Mohamed Sissoko will bring more quality to his Liverpool squad. 
Sissoko still needs to complete a medical before finalising his move to Anfield and becoming the latest of Benitez's summer signings.
 
The Liverpool boss said: "He's a young central midfielder who plays a high energy game with a high tempo. He's young, he's not bad on the ball and he will improve the balance of our team.
 
"He's had two good years with Valencia where he has won trophies. I know him well and he's a very good player."
 
Benitez also admitted the Reds are waiting to hear whether they'll be able to bring Luis Figo to Anfield.
 
He said: "At the moment all we can do is wait. We have some possibilities and Figo is one of them. We'll have to wait and see.
 
"I'm happy with the squad we have at the moment but we're still trying to bring in two or three more players."
 
Benitez saw his side secure their first victory of pre-season when they defeated League Two outfit Wrexham 4-3 in a thriller at the Racecourse.
 
Milan Baros and Fernando Morientes both bagged a brace as the Reds warmed up for Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against TNS.
 
Benitez said: "It was a good game for the fans with seven goals being scored. I'm not concerned that we conceded three because it's still very early in our preparations and it was a very hot day.
 
"I am sure when we play on Wednesday evening that we will be much better. It could be good that we have a competitive match next midweek and it could stand us in good stead for the rest of the season." 


According to this article, RB says that on top of Sissoko, he might bring two or 3 more players. Who might they be ??

I think this just shows exactly the difference between our great club and that shower of :censored: across the park.

This fella would rather be a fourth choice central midfielder for us then play every week for them. Best team on merseyside my :censored:. :p

that's true red ant. David Moyes has lost out a few times on players lately. Ex. Scott Parker and now Sissoko. He must be guted with the players we got and might still be getting.

a Waste of £5m i reckon.

The lads a centre mid, and i don't think for one second he'll be in Gerrard or Alonso's class, not many are... i can't see him being a world class footballer and with Hamann, Gerrard, Alonso, even Diao and Zenden thats more than enough cover if you ask me.

Hopefully he'll come good.

When Rafa says 2-3 signings i think it is a figure of speech-as in a few, because he likes to keep his cards close to his chest, as he always seems to say this.

He said 2-3 before Sissoko and it is still 2-3  :D

I am pleased with this signing as Biscan got quite a few games last season as fourth choice and was needed in some very big games. For the most part he done well but will be nice to have a bit more class in the middle.

One guy on the Bitters' Forum said that Reina was class today and might follow in the steps of legendary keepers at the club(Freidel, Dudek, Kirkland) and said that Wrexham made him look like a clown on their first 2 goals.

I think that this guy has some trouble remembering that Reina conceded only the first goal. Everton fans are very shocked at the fact that we are buying quality players.

if he`s the fella i`m thinking of he played right back for valencia in the games shown live on sky last year when they were involved (obviously). he is big, strong and leggy and is not afraid to go on a run. he reminded me a bit of that anglamarre (sp) who used to play for france a few years ago.

the really weird thing about this is I thought Sissoko was a made up player on Fifa 2005, I signed him for every team I played for because he was wicked, had no idea he was real until today. Its kind of sad, but if he is anything like he is in the game, we have quite the midfield backup! :D
