Aly Cissokho - sold

[paulcomben]

Cissokho not Cissoko seems to be the correct spelling. As in 'Hohoho, this left back cannot tackle nor track either.'

Noted and changed.

Appreciated.

Well if he used to be good enough to be worth £15m at one point then I'm pretty happy.

Do we know a fee? I honestly thought it was a loan deal.

I've seen anywhere from £1.75m to £3m mentioned.

A rag bag squad of cast offs. I despair

For me, it's experience finally added to the 'young and hungry' approach.

His display against us last season was the most inept performance I'd seen all season (including our players). That said, it was one game and his track record can't be a fluke. He's been at some big clubs.
Surely he's going to be better in the long term than Luna, Stevens and Bennett.

At least it proves we're willing to spend a bit of money I suppose.

If it goes through, welcome aboard, good luck. Hopefully he'll be followed with 1-2 decent midfielders of a similar standing.

Even worse than Lugano?

I take it back.

[Summers]

Very good signing, I feel.

Valencia are my second team, and I've seen a fair bit of Cissokho over the years.

Ignore his Liverpool season, they tend to ruin players whom don't fit in right away.

[mr woo]

Am I alone in thinking Kieron Richardson will probably be our preferred left back by...lets say......Christmas, and therefore this is probably a waste of 30% of our transfer budget?

Lugano had a great game at Villa Park - 2 assists!

Good point. Some on here have said that Aly may be used on the left of 3 CBs, with
Kieran at wing back. And in defensive (away) 442 formations, Aly could be LB and Kieran LM.

Welcome to the greatest club on earth.

At least coming up with a song for him is easy, the intro rather than the whole song!

A boy from Blowa. Know the town well.

It also gives the option of playing a competent premier league winger in the wide left role of the 4-3-3 formation. We are 2 decent level signings from a very comfortable mid table side now that can be used as a platform to build. Another tricky creative option and a big hard midfielder. Looks better having Hutton, Vlaar, Okore, Cissokho compared to Lowton, Clark, Baker, Bennett

[steamer]

My Liverpool mates are pissing themselves with laughter, Perhaps they know nothing.
I think he played against us at Klanfield last year and in my eyes memory he was stunningly crap.
In Randy and Lambert I trust.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Well one of us now. Welcome Aly!
