He is a bit too offensive minded moreover we need to aim higher.
Yeah, thats why i said double pivot, He attacks, ramesy stays back, Ramsey attacks, he stays back, both motor throughout the midfield and boss the middle of the park. What i like about him he has a serious engine on him. I look at the hammerings we got and Arteta stood out as the big problem, being totally overrun in the middle of the park, that won't happen with the unit Moussa Sissoko. I feel if we buy him and instruct him to focus on his defensive attributes he could be a top class defensive/central mid.
He's still only 24. I feel he has enough about him attacking wise not to bother and try develop that side of his game, instaed leave it the way it is and focus defensivley, Flamster should mentor him if he comes. it's also important he's technique isn't shit, it's ok, so he won't break down attacks from miscontrolling the ball and can help with our passing game. I look at Arteta who was a certified attacking mid totally change his game, i can't see why Sissoko can't do the same.
Remember the great Claude Makalele started out very similar to Sissoko as a all action player, he changed his game once he went to madrid and saw all the world class taltent around him, he knew it was his responsibillity to be a disciplined DM.
