    Do you think he will be away in Jan?
    I do.
    What price he will fetch is anyone's guess.

    If we maintain this form into January it would be nice to think that our owner will release funds to strengthen the squad while releasing some of the fringe players who we know are never going to start a game.

    Never really thought this statement would apply to Cisse.

    It just seems he doesn't fit in our style of play; he's all about playing off the shoulder, but his awareness has become so poor he's constantly offside. HOWEVER, I think he'd be doing ok now Sissoko plays wide right. Cisse needs service - not Carroll-style crosses, but supporting cast, he's a finisher, right? So in the side that currently gets put out, he'd be at least able to get chances. Obviously Remy's considerably stronger as an all-round player, but it's like comparing Thierry Henry to Ian Wright.

    No, I don't think he'll be away in January, but, definitely see him going in the summer.
    Its not as if he's playing for a World Cup squad place.

    Can't see him going as we aren't going to sell unless the owner sanctions the purchase of a better player and I doubt he'll fork money out when we're doing well. We'll get in one or two players on the cheap whose contracts are up in the summer and only release Cisse if we think he's a wantaway and recoup most of what we paid for him - and I can't see anyone offering that!

    He hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire to attract prospective buyers has he?

    I think he will, but maybe a loan to buy type deal.
    Love him as a bloke but him, Jonas, Obertan and Gosling are surplus.

    I think it could well happen, and I think we might actually do some decent business this window. I expect Gomis to come here- French, in the final year of his contract and available for buttons. Could be the end of Cisse, and he goes with my blessing

    Someone seems to be onto my dwarf fetish judging by these tags.

    These tags are really offensive. Maybe the super mods should do something....:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Do you think Shola will sign a new contract and stay? It would be worrying towards the end of the season if Shola, Cisse and Remi all left us, especially with our recent track record of signing replacements....

    Possibly a 1 year piece? Seems to be the way forward as he ups his game during negotiations!

    As awful as JFK and Fat Mike are, I don't think they'd be mad enough to allow us to lose all our strikers

    Cissé will be back, mark my words. He just needs a couple of goals.

    He scored a couple of important goals towards the end of last season and I think he'll come good in the 2nd half of the season.

    I wouldn't be surprised if JFK thinks he is Carl Cort.... 1 year is a good shout, it would be typical for us to lose him and have a good World Cup, or at least a few less offsides.

    Its good to hope. He does offer other valuable attributes to the side that Cisse does not, namely being able to hold up the ball. Cisse contributes nowt when he doesn't score, and he hasn't scored regularly for a while.

    DJ Campbell would be a decent signing might make us more predictable...

    Can't see us selling him at a loss.

    Can't see anyone paying £10million.

    So no.
