wilko154 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The fact that an Olympiakos scout has left Villa Park with the view the Aly Cissokho had a good game and would be a good signing for his club makes me feel better about our own attempts at signing players... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 To think that this guy has moved around Europe for fees totaling over £20m is crazy, and that's not even modern transfer fees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume the real Cissokho died years ago and his doppelganger has stood in for the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lyon felt that as well once they spunked nearly £15m on the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 confirmed short term loan with an option to buy on the OS Quote Aly Cissokho has joined Olympiacos on loan until the end of the season. Olympiacos have an option to buy at the end of the deal. Cissokho has made 12 appearances in claret and blue this season, 58 in total since joining in August 2014. But the 29-year-old lost his place in the side to Jordan Amavi from the Fulham game in October 2016 onwards. The Blois-born left-back heads to the Greek SuperLeague side as they aim to win their 44th title. Click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supervillan78 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Good luck to him. I actually thought he was a decent defender. His biggest problem was our formation and our reliance on our wing backs to get forward and create, which unfortunately he simply couldn't do with any great affect (see also Hutton). I recon he'd would have been more suited to a conventional 4-4-2 with a decent winger in front of him. Far from 'terrible' IMO.

Risso Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Comfortably the worst left back I've seen in my days of supporting Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poitier Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 At times he looked like the only one of our defenders who knew how to defend, so I think a lot of the vitriol there has been towards him in the past has been undeserved. Good luck to him, having to go on loan to these Champions League clubs can only make him appreciate Villa all the more, I'm sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I have seen far worse at Villa. I mean he was crap but he was quite endearing really. Hope the move works out for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael118 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Disappointed he is being loaned out. If Amavi gets injured we are in trouble and can't see us bringing in anybody near his quality as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
