FACT - we NEED players like him if we are to win the league in the long run. He deepens the quality of our squad.
FACT - Mascherano and Lucas are NOT his replacments, as Mascherano hasn't been signed as yet, and Lucas is a youngster (like Momo) bought to strenghten the squad further still.
FACT - he has been one of the better signings at the club of recent years.
Exactly, Lucas is by no means a replacement, he is a young prospective signing. We need depth if we are going to challenge on all fronts next season and In my opinion Sissoko will be part of that. Like I said, all the top teams have depth.
People seem to forget how good he performed last season, even the likes of Gerrard and Carra said he was one of the best players in the team. He's dipped over the last 6 months or so, but give the guy a break, he's shown he's capable of doing an excellent job. He can be part of next season's mix, football is a team of players and out of our players we have nothing like Sissoko. He has demonstrated his ability, as backed up by the players and the manager.
If you think you can go and find a better midfielder in his mould for £6million, go and do your coaching badges, cut the chat and show Rafa he's wrong.
It's just a shame people are so blood.y fickle.
