Cisse eyes Reds return....

[Maestro]

Striker Djibril Cisse believes Liverpool should invite him back to Anfield once his loan deal with Marseille expires at the end of the season.

The erratic France international was offloaded back to his homeland at the beginning of this season after failing to make the grade on Merseyside, but would now relish the opportunity to return to the Champions League semi-finalists.

Talks over the former Auxerre goal ace's future have not yet commenced, but Cisse has clearly stated where his priorities lie.

"I never said that I wanted to leave [Marseille]. There is an option to use or not," Cisse told Le Parisien. "We haven't talked about that yet. There will be a time when we will sit down and talk.

"If Liverpool ask me to come-back, the conversation is over. Let's wait for them. It is a lot of money, it is risky. But I know myself and I would pay the 12 million euros for Cisse."
Cisse's stay on the south coast of France has not been entirely successful, and over recent weeks he has become the target of abuse from certain sections of the Marseille crowd who are unhappy with the former Auxerre man's form. But nevertheless, the 25-year-old claims he would be happy to stay and try to win over the boo-boys should Liverpool decide to discard him.

He added: "I am from here so I would be happy to stay."


thats cool, let him buy himself then he can play for whover he wants

I think its really out of order the way he gets slated on these forums.He's not as bad as some people are making out.His goalscoring record to games played is quite impressive(better than 1 in 2). He was hardly played in his natural position,and when he came over,chelsea got dogbreath at the same time and we all were saying how we had the better deal,and at first it seemed that way.

But now beacause chelsea play to dogbreath's strengths,he has had the season of his life.Cisse out scored Dogbreath for the last two seasons in france before they came over here.He hasn't had the chance to be judged properly,and to be called the things that some of you have called him is just out of order.

I can't imagine many players coming back once from the injury he had let alone twice in the space of 2 years.Give the guy a break!(i'm not talkin about bones either for all you smart arses).

I'm not going to get into a vitriolic discussion with you about Cisse. Anyone that knows anything about football cannot understand how he's managed to get on those adidas ads, national team or command 14m. He must have a fantastic PR team.

Fact is he is a truly terrible player with a bit of pace and a half-decent scoring record. He is not however a very good footballer and has a terrible football brain. He is in fact uncoachable... he is that bad! People need to look at the bigger picture, have you seen him play?

There is no place at Liverpool for Cisse. End of.

... unless he helps us land Ribery. In which case, he'd be a fine 4th striker as far as I'm concerned. He is not my favorite player and is wasteful with the ball, but he'd be great in the Cups and early rounds of the CL. Kuyt/Villa/Crouch/Cisse wouldn't be awful and each player contributes something different up front.

Bad racist

[Dhav]

Sorry mate I was prepared to give him time but the FA Cup Final was the last straw for me. He moaned and complained most of the way through the game.
Hobbled around with a bandage on his leg ans as soon as we won it he runs almost the full length of the pitch dancing like a schoolgirl.
He's a fake and we are better shut of him.

FA Cup semi against Chelsea was when I lost my patience with him - absolute disgrace. Came on with a few minutes to go when we were holding and he did nothing but stroll around as if the world owed him a favour. Then when the match ended he celebrated as if he scored the winner. If I was Rafa I would have ditched him that very night - sit in the reserves for ever as far as I'm concerned, **** the £20 transfer fee we might have got if he continued in the first team.

He is clearly an extremely limited footballer, which I can accept, but you'd at least think he's make it up with a bit off effort, endeavour, determination etc. But no, his attitude sucks as well.

I have absolutely no time for this waster - get rid as soon as poss. Unfortunately he has all the potential to be another Diao or CHeyrou - a waster we cant get rid of permanently and we'll be perpetually sending him out on laon paying half his wages until his contract ends.

******.

End of? End of what? The discussion, because your point of view,in your opinion is the only one that counts? Is no one really not aloud to like the guy without being nilified and considered to not know anything about football?

I know plenty about football and the most important thing about it is,and also in general is, don't ever think you know everything about everything.

Mate instead of getting into a personal battle with Bob, why dont you respond to his points about Cisse, specifically regarding him not having a football brain and being uncoachable, because I'd like to know how anyone pro-Cisse would argue against this.

Can't blame the player for that, can only lay the blame at Parry's feet for agreeing & signing the contracts, players & agents only ask for x amount, the club either agrees or negotiates downwards, and it mostly depends on how much the manager wants that player.

That would lay the blame at GH's feet actually, not Parry's. Parry does not scout the players etc.

Blame the two if you wish, but don't blame the player for the wages received.

I never blamed the player, blamed GH. GH would have given instruction to Parry. Parry would have been told what is wanted by GH and gone and done that.

Hey,what you talking about?What's this about "personal battle"?I thought it was a discussion.Your making a big deal and trying to exagerate the siuation.

How can you describe having a football brain?It's more on instincts and confidence.How many of us thought that Ronaldo would become the player he is today when he came along.He was a one trick pony who never knew when to pass the ball and the right time to try a trick.Same with Drogba.Look at Forlan,at man u he was ****e,he goes to spain and wins the golden boot.Morientes also,he didn't make it here yet in spain the guy is awesome.

My point is,when a player is played to his strengths,Cisse's is his pace and his finishing,he can only then prove himself.If he wasn't really given the chance to,through injury or lack of form,than imo,he can't be truly judged and considered a failure.

Parry is the one that ultimately agrees contracts, he could have said no.

He could have yes, but how as he to know it wasn't a good offer or whether or not the player was worth it again he was working from someone else instruction.
