We need back up for Lucas and he has just cancelled his contract with PSG and needs a new club! Bring him home I say!!! Reading are hopeful of securing a deal for former Liverpool and Juventus midfielder Momo Sissoko on a free transfer. The 28-year-old was in Reading yesterday with director of football Nick Hammond but no announcement was made before last night's 11pm transfer deadline. He has cancelled his contract with current club Paris Saint Germain, however, and is now a free agent, meaning he can sign for a club outside the window. The Mali international started in his career in France with Auxerre before moving to Spain where he spent two seasons with Valencia. He then earned a move to Liverpool in 2005 and the following year he played an integral part in the Reds' FA Cup success. Italian giants Juventus signed him for a fee of just below £10milllion in 2008 and he spent three seasons in Turin before moving to Paris in 2011. After a good first season, he struggled for game time last year and spent the end of the last campaign on loan in Italy with Fiorentina. http://www.getreading.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/reading-fc-looking-swoop-former-5831468
If I was BR I would offer him the chance to come in on a rolling month by month deal or pay as you play. At the very least bring him in to train with the squad and take a look at him.
Shame he went downhill so quickly as was brilliant when he first joined us. Would be the type of player that would be a good option to help see out games or provide cover for Lucas, albeit not so good while in possession.
I think Momo would have a problem with that. Players are not allowed to play for more than two clubs in a twelve month period. If he joined us for a month and played (even for just one minute), he wouldn't be able to join anyone else if we released him leaving him in limbo. However, it might be per season which would make this irrelevant, he's not played for anyone during the 2013-14 season.
Same here, though his ability to win the ball was only matched by his ability to then give the fecking thing away again! but he was quite young and i would think has fixed that aspect of his game, id take him back as back up, hes a brute alright.
The hidden benefit to Momo is his name. Saying Momo Sissoko is enough to brighten any mood. Your wife leave you for your best friend... just say "Momo" Dog died from humping your new car's back tyre while you were reversing causing you to crash... "Momo" President wants to bomb Syria and put All Qaeda in charge... "Momo" You wear black shoes with a brown belt... "Momo" Your testicles explode from too much action...and the neighbours goat is smiling... "Momo" If he played for anyone else we wouldn't be able to say his name.
