It didn’t take Newcastle fans on Twitter long to express their joy at the news that Everton have agreed to pay Newcastle £30M for Moussa Sissoko – a player who is not exactly adored on Tyneside.
Maybe because Moussa played more good games for France in the Euro 2016 Championships than he did in the whole of last season for Newcastle, when we were relegated.
Maybe that’s it?
Moussa Sissoko – did he want to leave Newcastle?
Looks like it
This is a great deal for Newcastle – we only want players who want to be at Newcastle at this time and be part of the Rafa revolution – and they have to have big hearts too.
Certainly all our new signings seem like great lads who were anxious to join the club – so given that – it’s probably appropriate that Sissoko leaves.
One thing that worries me about #sissoko to #everton how can he pass a medical without having a heart??? #nufc

Can't beleave everton are actually going to pay £30 million for sissoko, feel so sorry for them, they don't know what there getting #NUFC

Sissoko will have a great home debut and you will think he is class…
Then about a year later he has another great game. #NUFC #EFC #THFC

Sissoko – bring in the cash!!!
2 G // Aug 31, 2016 at 8:45 PM
Glad hes gone, his ill advised quotes to the press made it impossible for him to play for us. Never before have I hoped this, but I do hope the pillock picks up a career ending injury.

Sissoko for 30M???? Get in!!!!! Or is this some kind of cruel hoax?
6 Jail for Ashley // Aug 31, 2016 at 8:48 PM
He will most definitely make a “my aim is to get us in the Championship league” statement. Fcuker will probably play out of his skin trying to get a move away now. Hope he enjoys playing in that cow shed.
7 geordie157 // Aug 31, 2016 at 8:48 PM
If sissoko and tiote both leave tonight….I kinda want us to sign one more, greedy I know!
Good window though, with just poor Sammy Ameobi left in limbo.
8 GeordieTwo // Aug 31, 2016 at 8:49 PM
And Concord Rangers were just about to submit their bid!
9 Hail Wor Ashley // Aug 31, 2016 at 8:49 PM
My pet want Brady scored a free-kick for Ireland tonight. Shame we’ve never been interested.
Was always expecting £25m+ for Sissoko. Doubt we’ll spend it now. Save for January if deemed needed, if not save for next summer.
Only worry is, if Atsu comes in, we’ve pretty much only got Ritchie, Gouffran and Atsu as wingers because Aarons simply isn’t reliable. Of course there’s also Lazaar and Yedlin that could convert to the wing and only Rafa knows his plans for them. I imagine one of them will do.

Just disappointed because we haven’t got any chance of spending any of that snakes fee.
Hope I’m wrong.

Don’t Everton have one of the smallest pitches in the league? Not ideal for Sissoko if so.

24 bettyswallocks // Aug 31, 2016 at 8:55 PM
Tsunki….. Can you see now what Hail was getting at? The more we extorted from the sale of Sussu co. the more goes into our transfer kitty for the next window. I know you meant well by saying just get rid for whatever but you weren’t seeing the bigger picture.
I’m the glad the penny seems to have dropped now.

Strange but I’m willing to bet that in the mackem universe our situation is seen as a plight, having sold “all our best players” and buying in a bunch of lower league prospects we look to all intents and purposes as a designed to fit Champers side. The fools. What do they know eh? Pffft.

Even so, taking the point about us benefiting – they need to spend a few quid tonight for that to happen don’t they? Think they will do it? Or will it get Carrolled?

Not unless you plan on counting Atsu who’s mysteriously taken so long to be announced that it seems they’ve waited and waited and waited and waited for sisulko to be be sold then they’ll announce him.

45 lochinvar // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:05 PM
Jury’s out on Charnley unless he moves lonely Sammy out to Tramere ( the Mersey teams have cash to burn ) , maybe £10m . That would earn respect.

As Newcastle fans, we are all happy he has gone, but iam sure all decent Newcastke fans do not agree with that guy who stated on here he hoped he picked up a career ending injury, thats the lowest of the low, we know the guy did not do himself any favours by the way he conducked himself about leaving Newcastle, but no decent Newcastle and true Newcastle fan would wish Sissoko a career ending injury. HWTL.
48 Tsunki // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:08 PM
No no no its just not good to end the evening with a relative negative like a sale that has the unhealthy reminiscence of the Andy-you-know-who thing….
Just to be in the safe side, round the night off with an admittedly uninspiring signing. YaY! Fives!

50 bettyswallocks // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:10 PM
Tsunki……. Joking apart, I genuinely believe the club will be allowed to spend the money it generates which includes profit from transfers.
I can’t see anyone else coming in tonight now but if we need to strengthen the squad in Jan. then the funds are there.
30 mil. for a big powerful runner with a poor touch , poor technical skills and a poor reader of the game is downright fraud. Lol.
51 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:10 PM
Love how fans rejoice like they personally sold him? Did you pocket 30 mil pounds? NO. Feels like Andy sale, so late could not make profit from it.
Can we bring in a few players right this minute? Lets hope so.
52 Tsunki // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:11 PM
Well he was hoping to be Shopping at Liverpool One, now he can console himself by going to Everton Two.

I think it may yet emerge that £30m is a headline figure.
56 Bobbybee // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:13 PM
Even if that’s it for transfers, I’m happy with what we’ve done. He’s not gone for big names, but he’s assembled a team that is getting better by the week. It’s completely interchangeable, so injuries are adequately covered seamlessly. We have the ream, the manager and support to win the Championship and looking at our new squad, is it any wonder we’re odds on to win it? Once this lot click properly, I predict some high victories coming our way. We are well and truly on our way back.

63 toonking // Aug 31, 2016 at 9:14 PM
In recent years big money transfers out of the club were very disappointing but for once I can give ashley great praise selling a player for a large amount of cash, I don’t care one bit if he were to keep some of the cash all I cared about was getting rid of sickoko. He certainly joined a very well known CL club or should I say mid table PL club atleast he’s still got a big derby.
