| Momo Sissoko wasn’t the most popular signing Juventus have ever made, but he’s silenced his critics – including Antonio Labbate |

Momo Sissoko was supposed to have been the biggest waste of money since, well, Sergio Almiron and Tiago Mendes. Slow, tactically naïve and ill suited to the Italian game – these were a small selection of the criticisms launched at the Liverpool reserve before he had even put pen to paper on a Juventus contract. Just three months later and his doubters, including myself, have had to reconsider their judgements.
While there are still some concerns over the amount Juve had to pay the Anfield outfit for him – the Bianconeri should have negotiated a fee of less than the agreed £8m – Sissoko has proved himself to be a revelation since his New Year switch. Although his early performances were understandably tentative, the 23-year-old has breathed new life into an exhausted Juventus midfield.
The Italian giants needed some mid-season touching up in the middle of the park. Almiron was sent on loan to Monaco just six months after his arrival, while Tiago remained only after the outfit couldn’t find a suitable buyer for the Portuguese flop. And with Antonio Nocerino struggling to live up to his early performances and Cristiano Zanetti’s fragile muscles needing a break, the decision was made to re-ignite their interest in Sissoko.
It was a brave move by Alessio Secco. To many it looked as if Sissoko’s arrival, especially at that price, was just the latest transfer blunder overseen by the much-maligned sporting director since the departure of Luciano Moggi in the summer of 2006. Instead, Momo is shaping up to be one of Secco’s most advantageous buys.
Today, Sissoko is a fans’ favourite. A giant in the thick of the action, the Mali international is not only being noted for his combative skills, but also for his ability on the ball where he’s demonstrated an unexpected aptitude for dribbling and shooting. It’s no wonder that he’s already being heralded as the new Patrick Vieira, even if that comparison may be a little restrictive in the long term.
“Rafael Benitez told me that I would become better than Vieira,” Sissoko noted recently. “I’m still young though, while Vieira has proved his worth. But I can only improve and why couldn’t I one day be a greater player? That’s certainly the hope.” And given his performances in 2008 so far, it’s probably too soon to bet against that happening. One slice of humble pie will be sufficient for now…
