KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Reds decide against loan option

Liverpool have reportedly decided not to take up their option to keep left-back Aly Cissokho when his loan comes to an end.
The Valencia defender is on loan for the season and Liverpool have an option to take the France ace on a permanent basis for £3.2million in the summer.

The 26-year-old has made 13 appearances in the Premier League and also featured in the cup competitions but has apparently not impressed enough to make the deal a permanent one.

Boss Brendan Rodgers will be looking to add to his back line in the summer as the defence has been the only cloud in an otherwise sunny sky this season and he will want to tighten it up in the summer.

No surprise there really. Tries hard but not up to scratch

I would have been more surprised if we had decided to buy him.

Luv to know what exactly it was that they saw in him in the first place tbh.

tbf his got better as the season has progressed

He probably is worth 3.2m, and would be good value for money for a team like Fulham etc. Unfortunately he's just not up to Liverpool standards

Kind of feel for the guy, he tried his heart out, but his play on the ball is not good enough, though as others pointed out elsewhere, he can defend, so....

Yeh, and as Suso said he has improved recently, I'd prefer to see Moses sent back tbh.

im sure Moses will be on his way back too.

I want to see them both sent back. You could see Cissohko applied himself well and put in a lot of effort but he's simply not a good enough footballer and that cannot be overlooked, he's an athlete there's no doubting that but not a footballer.
