I still maintain he never should've got a place at Euro 16.
Based Jorge
He's still England best centre mid. You take your best players to tournaments.

I've heard a lot about Sissoko, and none of it is good.

It gets worse

Oh dear.
Franck
If that were true he wouldn't be at fucking Bournemouth.

Nowhere near as odd as Hart to Toro, Balotelli to Nice or Wilshere to Bournemouth though - who'd have seen those coming?

Also happy with Marcos Alonso arriving, he's a solid player and been good for Viola.

Tiote remains a Newcastle player though...for now.
Poe
Why?
Do you genuinely think Drinkwater is a better player?
Carroll.
The Platypus
I rarely agree with Carroll, but well... yeah.
I can't really rate Wilshere higher than Drinkwater, seeing as Drinkwater was pretty good last year, and Wilshere hasn't played a full game since 1898.

There was a rumored 22 clubs interested and if you believe Arsenal were ever going to let him join anyone that may be seen as a threat to us in the league then you're deluded.
Based Jorge
I really hope this isn't the end of him at Arsenal as he only has 2 years left on his deal and is still a super talent. To put some perspective into it I'm nearly as gutted as if Mesut left.

Feel sorry for Sissoko, he's never cared about playing football for Newcastle, but neither did Debuchy, Remy, Cabaye, Wijnaldum or Ben Arfa and they got zero shit for it.
BR.
Haha, thought the exact same thing!
He wouldn't have been a guaranteed starter either, I'm guessing Arsenal wanted to make sure they were sending him somewhere where he'd definitely be starting (when fit).
Will be interesting to see how he does - if he's as good as some make out then he should stand out in that Bournemouth team. Hope he does well for England's sake.

Seems to be a theme.
Its very hard to feel sorry for Sissoko. After years of acting like a whiny little bitch, he's got his reward and gets to make up shit that he actually regularly tried in black & white in his "Welcome to Spurs" interviews, while pretending he never said Arsenal were the club of his heart.
Maybe its naivety, but I swear if you wanted a move to a top team once upon a time, you had to play on a regular basis like one worthy of the top teams. Least Cabaye did a bit in 2013 before PSG turned up and JFK accepted a ludicrously low fee. Given HBA seemed genuinely annoyed not to be playing when Pardew made him his scapegoat, I'm not sure why that's mentioned, although I don't think Remy is that well liked among NUFC fans given how much of a bellend he acted both when joining QPR, and when he allegedly got out of games to preserve himself for a World Cup squad spot that never came.
It could well be a perception trick - spend long enough publicly selling yourself and boasting how poor little you isn't in the UCL, and sooner or later, people might think of you as a bit of a dick. It may not help the club was sold for 2-3 years as a stepping stone, but even so, not everyone has to behave as whiny and going all "Oh woe is me, why am I not an Arsenal player?", or at least to this utterly ludicrous extent.
Shola
If you believe that JFK was actually in charge of transfers and that Pardew willfully decided to blame everything on his most talented player than you're extremely naive. Ben Arfa completely lost interest in playing Newcastle. Sort of hilarious that he is in all honestly the exact poison of modern football, yet is seen as the romantic alternative to modern football. Remy did become unpopular, but he wasn't at the time, and fans would have been delighted if he signed even after a summer of clearly not wanting to.
Carroll.
Jason
I get this point, fair enough, on his day Wilshere is a better player, hands down...
The problem i had was that Drinkwater played almost every Leicester game in a season they won the Premier League yet a player (Wilshere) who had played 3-4 times got in the England team ahead of him. You should always be picked for your country on form, not because of the club you play for or how big of a name you are.
