ozvillafan Posted June 23, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2015 In a side that lacks attacking width playing 4-3-2-1, Cissokho is not the answer. In a side that is rumoured to play 3-5-2, Cissokho is not the answer In a side playing 4-4-2 and requires fullbacks wrapping around to give the winger an option, Cissokho is not the answer. Now... what was the question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 https://www.eyefootball.com/news/24149/Bournemouth-Aly-Cissokho.html Premier League newcomers Bournemouth could bring in Aston Villa defender Aly Cissokho, according to reports. The talented full-back joined Aston Villa on a permanent deal last summer from Valencia, having impressed for Liverpool during the 2013-14 campaign. Reports in France cite that the left-back is likely to make way from Villa this summer, having barely featured for the club since the arrival of Tim Sherwood. In addition to this, the Cherries are among the clubs interested in landing the player's services during the summer transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 he must be worth 3 million, surely. Get Amavi in and I wouldnt mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Whilst not his biggest fan, I'd certainly like to see a replacement brought in before entertaining the idea of him leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl the Pearl Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I would be ecstatic if we could sell him and put the fee/wages towards a quality player. He's pretty inept offensively if we're being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah defensively he is sound, but the way we play our full backs need to be attack minded. I actually thought Richardson would be ideal for that role when we bought him but he turned out to be rubbish, ruining attacks every time. Cissokho can go, think hes more suited to a defensive team which makes it surprising that Bournemouth are after him as they are very attacking. It is encouraging that it looks like we might have a decent left back for the first time since the Bouma days in Amavi, if we can land him.

Czechlad Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I really would hate to see him go. Cissokho is a solid defender. He can always learn to attack more. It's much harder to teach a player to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much harder to teach a player to defend. While I never scaled any heights, I was converted from a winger into a centre half in my playing days. Defending is definitely easier to learn.

lexicon Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He's the only LB at the club I trust to do his job but I think being a rotation player is not enough for him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go because we're clearly looking for a full back who can attack well and he doesn't fit the bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is turning 28 and played for some big clubs so im sure they would have tried teach him to attack as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 If Bournemouth go at teams in the premier the way they did last season they'll be down by xmas. Could make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I really would hate to see him go. Cissokho is a solid defender. He can always learn to attack more. It's much harder to teach a player to defend.I too felt more comfortable with him at left back, than I did with Richardson, Bacuna or Hutton, but it's clear that Sherwood wants fullbacks who can attack. I don't mind him being sold, but I just hope we don't let him go for peanuts. He's a good player who now has roughly two seasons worth of experience in the Premier League. We should be asking for £4-5m for him, and then letting teams push us down to £3-4m, as opposed to getting rid for as cheap as possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 6, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 6, 2015 I like him. I think he's solid enough whilst admittedly lacking going forward. I still maintain he's a decent crosser of the ball, he just struggles at getting into those positions. He's not comfortable in possession further up the field. However, I think it'd be pretty easy to improve on him so I wouldn't be fussed if he has to be moved on as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 From what I remember he put way too much power into his crosses and usually ballooned out for goal kicks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villaphan04 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Was he training with the main squad today? Would be surprised if he goes Bournemouth, they've just signed Mings for 8m. I was just wondering the same thing. Why would they buy another left back when they just broke their transfer record for a left back (Mings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 He would be a good pick up for those sorts of clubs though, maybe Watford might be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 His perfect match in Premier League would probably West Brom. Has the physique and lack of footballing skills to be a Pulis type player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
