How did Arsenal fans react to Sissoko's desire to play for them?

Want-away French midfielder Moussa Sissoko has attracted a lot of attention from the media recently after proclaiming that Arsenal is where he'd like to be playing his football next season.

Unless Moussa had his head in the clouds this year (he definitely did), he seems to have forgotten the small matter of Newcastle's relegation and his arguable contribution to it. But come on, let's not stifle his dreams.

Much like Sissoko, I of course am looking to better myself. For example, in recent times I have decided that a single life dating medicore women is no longer for me and have decided that Kate Upton will be my next fling (or Jennifer Aniston, I'm not too fussy).

But in all seriousness, a player who can't acknowledge that he is partly to blame for the Magpies' demise (although he wasn't the worst offender it has to be said) and instead of atoning for his lacklustre form by 'sticking it out' with a manager who has won everything there is to win in football, makes bold claims of where he'd like to ply his trade next, is not a player we want at St James' Park next season.

But who am I to dictate who signs who and what player plays where? Let's say what a small sub-section of Arsenal fans have to say about Sissoko's desire to play for the North London club.

@JayFerGaming I'm a Arsenal fan and normally I mown about lack of signings but I'll pass on Sissoko ???

You was one of the best of an awful bunch that got embarrassingly relegated at NUFC, and you have the cheek to talk bout AFC move. Behave.
