Has Bissouma been cleared of his 'difficulties' yet?  If he has then I can't think of a better fit for us at DM.

Obviously if it's ongoing then we'll have to look elsewhere.

Has he actually done anything of late?

Scored 1 in 3 for Bayern Munich.

We are signing Coutinho (apparently) so why am I not excited.

Got that Pires and Ginola feel to it.

That was a couple of years ago.

Having looked the recent stats though, his last goals and assists have come against Villareal, Valencia, Celta Vigo, Sevilla, Ferencvaros and CA Osasuna. So 5 of the 6 have a 'V' in their name....

One key pass in 12 games this season apparently. However as I someone on Twitter pointed out, two years ago we signed Borja Baston so I am certainly not going to complain about this one. Romano has confirmed the negotiations so the rumours seem legit, however I just can't see it happening as we never pull off signings like these and I've been let down too many times before (Juninho, McCarthy, Sneijder and the rest).

They were both in their mid-thirties though. Actually in Pires case late thirties.

Well he missed most of last season for Barcelona with a knee injury. Season before that, while we were staying up by the skin of our teeth, he helped Bayern win the League, Champions league and German Cup.

I won't turn my nose up at him, but nor to I think he's a guaranteed success. I guess that's where we are at the minute.

*shrugs* they're a basket case these days and he barely plays.

He'd improve us. Him and Buendia as inside forwards would be saucy. If we can button up the defensive midfielder role, then we actually actually a balanced midfield all over.

I’m no follower of Barca, but has he played much or done much in recent times? Didn’t he have a serious knee injury that needed surgery twice. Hope it works out but seems a bit of a vanity signing and an expensive experiment

It doesn't matter where we were two years ago if he's not at it now. I'm not convinced.

Having said that, what an absolutely top player he was for Liverpool. If he can do close to that for us I'll be happy as a pig in shit.

Comparing a 29 year old to Ginola and Pires seems a bit negative for negative sake.

More of a Paul Merson imho. One of our best players of the past 25 years.
