Papiss Demba Cisse

seems legit.
With all his relegation-experience with SC Freiburg and playing 13 matches for Newcastle, I would estimate his power-level near to 9000, if not above.

Considering Newcastle sold Caroll for 35 million I wouldn't be too surprised if they could manage to get 60 for Cisse.

The following statement has been released by Newcastle United tonight:

An erroneous story which has been circulated this evening by Steve Goodman, regarding Newcastle United striker Papiss Cisse and Real Madrid, is taken from a recent interview Papiss conducted with L’Equipe.

In the article, Mr Goodman states that Papiss has issued a “come and get me” appeal to Real Madrid. This statement is utterly untrue.

In the interview with L’Equipe, Papiss responded to a question about Real Madrid to say that he has admired the club since he was young. This in no way constitutes a ‘come and get me’ plea.

Mr Goodman further claims that Papiss ‘insisted he hopes to join them [Real Madrid]‘. Papiss has never made such a statement and refutes the suggestion in the strongest possible terms.

The player is completely committed to Newcastle United and is not interested in anything other than ensuring he and the team finish the season as strongly as possible.

The matter is now in the hands of the player’s legal representatives.

Papiss Cisse:

"The toughest defender [I've faced] has to be the Liverpool defender. I don’t know his name but he has tattoos and a shaved head [Martin Skrtel]. He made me tired, but it was a great match and I scored two goals."

"You can’t force goals, they come naturally. Sometimes the ball falls in front of you and you score a goal, it’s the most beautiful feeling in football so I’m happy to be an attacker."

"Sometimes I walk down the street or I’m in my car and I see a kid wearing a Newcastle shirt and on the back – I see Cisse. It makes me smile. The fans are incredible and the warmth of the people makes this city so incredible. I think without the supporters, we wouldn’t be anything."

can he do it again this afternoon?

 

[Meitux]

[Hatem Ben Arfa]

Very rare, but lighting does strike twice

Very rare, but lighting does strike twice

I really hope it does today.

this guy looks awful so far this season he looks to me as being not even a one season wonder but a half season wonder! defenders have worked him out now and he is struggling

 

[Ode to Django]

Well still early days, but i had a hunch he'd be a one season wonder i had the same feeling about Javier Hernandez too when everyone was praising him to the heavens.

He played less than 48 hours ago for 77min in 39 degree heat in Athens for our Europa League game. he's allowed to look like he was struggling today.

Basically we couldn't get the ball to him into feet today. the one chance he had he it straight at Czech. Either side and he's scored.

He's no one season wonder. he scored 22 goals in total last season and the season before that he scored 24 goals in total.

He will come good in the next game. You also must remember that Ramadan just finished last week so his preseason involved very little playing time at all.
