Liked momo, passionate, hard working and good at winning the ball, unfortunately his passing was poor and he looked uncomftable on the ball, all these dickish pictures and people saying good ridience is just harsh, he was a good player

He was on the local TV here just before Christmas, visiting kids in a hospital up in Stoke. Apparently they love him there.

Momo was a good player. How many others can say they destroyed Ronaldinho? All went downhill after the eye injury unfortunately, hope he can get it back one day. Good luck Momo lad.

Just heard him talk to 5Live, and said he will sign tomorrow. Said he loves it in England, and sounds like he never wanted to leave.

It'll be sad to see Momo go because the aspects of his game that are good are very good.
However, he hasn't got the all round game to play in a championship winning team...at least not yet.
I really hope things work out well for him and will smile every time I think of his 2 Cardiff performances in 2006

Sissoko expects to seal Juve move
Momo Sissoko
Sissoko was a key player last term but has now fallen out of favour
Out-of-favour Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko says he expects to sign a deal with Juventus on Friday.

The 23-year-old Mali international told BBC Sport: "Now I have good contact with Juventus, so we'll see what happens in the next two days.

"Maybe I'm going to sign on Friday my contract with Juve."

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has told Sissoko he can leave Anfield "if the right club and the right offer" comes in.

Interview: Momo Sissoko

Sissoko, who only signed a new four-year contract with Liverpool in the summer having moved to Anfield from Valencia for £5.6m in July 2005, admits he will be sad to leave Merseyside.

"Yes, because it's a big club," he said. "I like the fans, I like Anfield, I like everybody in Liverpool. I am just disappointed about my position in Liverpool. But this is football."

But after slipping down the midfield pecking order he denied suggestons of a fall out with Benitez.

"No, he's the manager. He decides. I am young, I am just 23 years old. I want to play. That's why I want to leave Liverpool," added Sissoko.

Sissoko's claims that he is close to sealing a move to the Italian giants come just over a week after Juventus insisted he would not be joining them.

Benitez said there were a number of clubs interested in Sissoko.

606: DEBATE
It looks a decent profit for someone who hasn't built on his early potential

4-u-2-p

"We know we have two or three clubs asking about him and we'll try to find the best solution," said Benitez.

"It depends on if we find the right club and the right offer. We need to wait," he told the Liverpool website.

The Malian has played just six games for Liverpool this season and his departure could enable the Reds to secure the permanent signing of Javier Mascherano.

Earlier this month Sissoko had told Radio Montecarlo: "I'm still at Liverpool but I expect a big announcement in the next few days.

"My agent, Juve and Liverpool are working on my departure and my move to Turin is very close.

"I'm expecting good news any moment now, but I'm enthusiastic about beginning a new adventure in Italy." he said.

kundalini · « **Reply #92 on:** January 24, 2008, 05:38:56 PM »

I'd be amazed if the fee is really £10m or anything of that order. Juve haven't been throwing money around since the scandal, most of their recent signings have been free transfers, and Momo is basically a squad player who showed promise a few seasons ago.

But then again football transfer fees are often a mystery.

Doubt we could get him for less than that, thers been a lot of interest in him, and rightly so. Joorbachian is a buisnessman after all and will look for the highest price possible.

Theres been a lot of intrest in him, from who? And being intrested doesn't mean you are ready to spend £17m.

Gave his all, but at the end of the day, he wasn't good enough. Played with the ball like it was a grenade with no pin.

Cusamano · « **Reply #96 on:** January 24, 2008, 06:01:55 PM »

Good news imo. Nothing against momo its just that we have 4 players in his position who are much more gifted footballers and he isnt going to displace any of them anytime soon.

Thing is I can see him shining in Serie A where the pace is 1/3 of what it is over here. Once he gets his passing sorted out which i believe he will do so in Serie A he will be a top top player.

I reckon 4-5 years from now we'll be looking at one of the best defensive mids in the game.

Guess we are gonna be in the market for a new central midfield player then with Momo and Masch going.

Juventus, Sissoko: "Tomorrow the signature"
24.01.2008 19.47 di Christian Seu - Tuttosport

"I had a very good contact with Juventus so we shall see what happens over the next two days. Already Maybe I could sign tomorrow my contract with the bianconeri". A dichiarlo to the BBC Sport midfielder Franco-maliano Liverpool Mohammed Sissoko (22), these settimanee involved in the Africa Cup. "Liverpool is a big club. Love the fans, the stadium, everything - said Sissoko -. I am only sorry for my position within the team, but this is football."

No Momo no El Jefe

davidg · « **Reply #110 on:** January 24, 2008, 08:10:54 PM »

was declared a legend far too early, the problems he had when he came are still there now and have shown no signs of improvement.

Belongs in the 'not good enough' pile*.

Doesnt have the technique to succed in Italy either, will probably be playing in France/Turkey in 2 seasons..

*he played well in the Nou Camp and in the FA Cup final blah blah blah

dba · « **Reply #111 on:** January 24, 2008, 08:20:20 PM »

Momo is a very good player. He has had ONE bad game all season (Marseille). The other games in which he got lamabasted by the know-nothing idiots that frequent message boards and call up radio shows, he played well enough according to the figures as well as objective observation of the game.

The reason he was perceived as being a poor player was due to him trying to do things that would take his game to the next level and sometimes he cocked it up and it was rather comical. The game against the Barcodes and Blackburn was a case in point. Give him a season or two and we will see a very very good player, however, right now our central midfield is very good and it is in his interest to move on.

Even as a West Ham fan I'm sad to see Momo go. The guy just has so much potential. Its true he has been awful this season, but over last couple of previous seasons he has looked like one of the finest prospects in Europe. Like many young still developing players he has had a serious dip in form, and I think its a shame Liverpool havent stuck with him to get him back to his best, as i feel he would have come out the other end a better player.

The figures don't really prove what you are saying. He was comparable to Gerrard in the Blackburn game, and yet was slated quite badly for his performance in that game based on him being the poorest player in the Marseille game.

It seems that people have a preconception about a player and then only see the things that prove the preconception.

Very true. I'll always be grateful for what he gave us, and even this year I was hoping we would stick by him. But perhaps he needs this opportunity to start over in Juventus. He will be a fantastic player for him. And I'm glad that Rafa managed a great fee in return.
