Zatman Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 He's a good defender but he's hardly amazing. Pretty solid but going forward he's well.... limited. There's no way he's good enough for Spurs. I think we're his level currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It's from The Mirror so not even worth discussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way he's good enough for Spurs. I think we're his level currently. this is Spurs that until a month ago played Danny Rose everyweek Also worth noting that finding a full back that is solid but also alright going forward is difficult.

Isa Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It's from The Mirror so not even worth discussing. James Nursey of The Mirror who has obvious ties to the club and manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Probably as much bollocks as Arsenal were going to buy Lowton. Cissokho will be here for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 This seems remarkable. He has been good, but not, I would have thought, good enough to attract interest from other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 27-year-old has attracted interest from both Tottenham and Napoli after enjoying an impressive spell under Paul Lambert at left-back. "At the moment, I’m happy," he said. "I’ve been here for six months and I’m happy to be playing. I am playing and learning every game and I’m improving in my head and it is good. I hope to continue to play well and we’ll see." Villa are just five points above the relegation zone and Lambert will be desperate to keep the defender at the club to help improve upon that gap. “The first thing is to think about the safety for the club," Cissokho added. "After that, we can see if we can be in the top 10 or something like that. “We have a good squad and if we climb up the table there will be less pressure, we’ll see.” Edited December 22, 2014 by daggy_333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Can't see anyone being in for him in January.. he's solid but not a world beater. That's not a criticism, I like him but he's found his level at Villa for the time being. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetrov Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Seems highly unlikely to move......however these stories linking him with different clubs do seem to keep popping up .....you wonder if his agent isn't looking for a move for him...

Nothing about him staying or going. Usual nasty journalism, twisting what has been said to create effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) That is clearly a completely unrelated interview, probably conducted before the speculation. **** the media! Edited December 22, 2014 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 That is clearly a completely unrelated interview, probably conducted before the speculation. **** the media! I watched the interview on Sky, he was asked "You've been linked to Tottenham and Napoli, is there any truth in that?" However on watching it he was basically just batting away the question, not speaking great English and just being very neutral - people read so much into phrases like "at the moment I'm happy" without ever considering that he speaks French where the phrase means more like "I'm happy right now" in a positive way. I've worded that really badly but I'm trying to say that "at the moment I'm happy" doesn't necessarily mean "I won't be tomorrow." I mean I'm sure he'd leave for Spurs or Napoli because who wouldn't, but still, I didn't read too much into the interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 napoli have ghoulam so thats not happening for a start agree with xela, he's played for higher than us and not done anything special, 27 and played for 7 clubs, i think this is the best chance he'll get to settle in for 3/4 years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 They often try to get foreign players to slip up with such questions, as Adam says, his English is decent but not the best. He seems happy and I'm actually glad that he says our safety is what is important first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Hope he stays, don't think there's anything in this rumour anyway as Spurs have so many left backs (Rose, Davies, Naughton etc) they can afford to have Assou-Ekotto in the stands earning 40k a week. Anyway after watching the circus show of Warnock, Bennett and Luna in the last 3 years it's nice to have a left back who has a clue how to actually defend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
