We need to stop buying players based on how they play against us...

Chaldi couldn't keep up with the team

When were we linked earlier this summer? Genuinely asking, happy to see weblinks.
Regardless, out of the four i mentioned, was Sissoko REALLy the one worth the big spend? Was he more of a priority?

there was real crazy talk about Sissoko after the euro's, Madrid and the like, it would have been stupid to get involved then

Guys trust Levy and Poch. We have the money otherwise Levy wouldn't have sanctioned it. The tv money is ridiculous so we have spent £32m this transfer window (roughly).

I agree, and Real are even possibly interested we wouldn't have had a chance

Jenas was never a rooster. Always a nice bloke. He had a brilliant first season here then faded badly. He's actually turned himself into a decent pundit.

I am not convinced by him either. He is good once in a while, but not often enough. I am also unsure about where we are going to play him. I see him as a player who is best suited to playing in a midfield three with license to roam forward, but we don't play with such a system. He is not a holding midfielder, and no winger either, although he does play there at times.
His main strength as I see it, is that he is quick and strong and difficult to stop when he has space to run in. He murdered us in the last game of last season when he had all kinds of space to run into, but you rarely get that kind of space, of course. We do need quicker and more direct players, so he fills those criteria, and we also badly needed to bulk up our squad, so let's hope he can give us something a bit different.

Sky so making us out to be the bad guys! Terrible Daniel Levy.
I can only think that DL has promised Poch an additional signing this window and when Isco did not come off, and Zaha was not available, he has had to put his money where his mouth is and go the full whack on Sissoko. I'm not wholly convinced but as long as he is on Poch's list, even if not top choice, then I can live with it although the fee feels ridiculous.
I am less worried about attitude. He won't get away with any prima donna antics.

Of course we have the money. The concern is if we could have spent that money better on a different player...

on second thought, now it all makes sense, we are finishing school for Madrid
We learnt that the heart can be filled by many clubs, just ask Robbie Keane.

Could be worse... Could have signed a player who helped put you down playing for your rivals
