Cisse is a very good footballer, what a finish.

Maybe we should swap scouting departments with Newcastle.

if we had him he'd be ****

[Gibbo]

We pretty much bought him for them anyway mate.

that is a great finish. reminds me of andy cole in the early years at newcastle.

yeah true and was a great a goal

IMO, Serious questions have to be asked about Comolli..

How the hell were we not in for Cisse in January ????

[Muddled]

From memory, that transfer was well and truly under the radar- zero links until Newcastle announced it, so much so, it was a good hour before it even appeared on the Beeb. Perhaps we're reliant on shifting an attacker out, before bringing one in.

Well, there may not have been the money.

It's easy to make assumptions when you know **** all about what is actually going on at the club.

Is this the same Cisse that said Liverpool would be a dream move?

[Muddled]

To be fair, I think that was the generic football response to a leading question about a transfer. Arsenal, Fulham, Juventus, Villareal were linked with him, but it doesn't mean we were even enquiring about him.

[-V-]

Cisse = £36million ????

Alan Carr's dad is the scout.

I really hope Newcastle finish fourth, after all the slack the got from other fans, and a lot on here, constantly called a joke of a club and what not. Time for people to have a good hard look at themselves and our own problems. There is a lot we could learn from a club like Newcastle at the moment, mostly that british players are overrated and as technically gifted as three year old girls.

Where, at any point, did i make assumptions?? If anything, you've made the assumption that we had not got the money??

FSG have always said that the money is there, if Kenny and Comolli thought we could add quality to the squad - we can only take that at face value...

Even the dog on the street knows that we needed additional striking options - Cisse was obviously available in the January window - i appreciate it is a hard window to attract players, so quality players are going to be hard to find - but Newcastle certainly did....

I'm just surprised we weren't on the ball here....

Well, you made the assumption that comolli or the club weren't on the case. That may or may not be the case, and if it is, then there may be valid reasons for it. I was suggesting that there may not have been the budget for it. I don't know that any more than you do. It was, after all a suggestion.
