AN Open Letter from Momo Sissoko

Momo Sissoko 01 February 2008

After completing his move from Liverpool to Juventus Momo Sissoko has taken time out to send this heart-felt message to Reds fans all over the world.
Dear Liverpool fans,

As soon as I arrived in Liverpool I realised how much this team meant.

Now, after two and a half years I have to say goodbye and I can't hide the great sorrow I feel in leaving one of the best clubs in Europe.

Liverpool FC as a club, its fans, its coaches and my team-mates have together helped me to become a better player and, above all, a better person.

Liverpool FC is one of the greatest. The Liverpool fans never desert their team.
Even in the worst moments you have a strong sense that the fans are with you, supporting you as much as they can, never giving up, those fans make Liverpool even stronger. I really want to thank them for helping me to feel and to understand what football means in its purest form.

I also think Liverpool FC functions this way because of its leaders; Rafael Benitez works from dawn to dusk, and the players know they must fight for the red shirt in every second of every match.

Now I am beginning a new adventure in another big European Club in Juventus. They have also now put their faith in me.

I shall play to my best in every single match, I shall fight hard for my new shirt to the end, but when every match is finished, I know what I'll do first - I shall ask about the results of Liverpool FC.

Everybody knows the legend "You'll Never Walk Alone" and I shall never ever forget the experience and the team.

I want to thank everyone for the opportunity and wish everyone all the best for the future.

With my best regards,
Mohammed Sissoko

Nice gesture, but TBH I have been wanting shot of him for ages.

I do however, think he'll do very well in Italy. The pace of the premiership doesn't suit Momo, he gets no time on the ball and this IMO is why he fails with his distribution, if he has to rush it he fluffs it. Italy will be a whole different ball game and he'll be bossing over there.

Funny - do "we" really believe that Luis and Momo actually sat down and wrote these "open letters" or am I being cynical?

I was just thinking the very same thing. The Garcia one I just about believed, even though I'd never heard of a player writing thnk you letters!! But a Sissoko one now - hmmmmm, very dubious.
One thing that sticks in my mind about his letter....."they helped me to become a better player"!!!! He's left us as one of the poorest players i've seen in my life - how ****e could he have been before we signed him?!

Bollocks - he'll be even worse. The Italian game relies on accurate passing - momo can barely kick the ball 2 feet in a straight line. Furthermore, the Italian FA don't like tackling at all so the only strength to his game will end up giving him a record number of red cards. I expect to see him turning out for fulham in a year or 2.

Bollocks....Fulham will have been relegated and won't be able to afford him.
