According to German media, us and PSG have offered between 10-12 million Euro's for Papiss Cisse and Rubin Kazan have offered 15 million. Cisse has ruled out moving to Rubin Kazan.
I would love this to come off, he'll be a hit in the Premier League I'm sure.

Wow, great news! Let's hope for Premier League :HD:
YES PLEASEE
Cisse and Elia? How bloody awesome would that be. Then again, we don't have that money so we'll get Jerome.

I could see us getting these two and it would be amazing, but loose the likes of baird -.- who is essential for europa
I'd love us to get that Cisse guy. FFC will be the happiest he's been since he put Charlie Adam on his fantasy squad last season.
Sunderland are making a club-record £14m bid for Freiburg striker Papiss Demba Cisse
Uh-oh.
The great thing about this stage of the transfer window is that clubs have a stark choice. Pay what it costs to get option 1 or go lower down the list to get the player you can afford.
If we want Cisse we'll have to pay the price - we can't afford to end up with no one.

I reckon this is just paper talk. Ellis Short has publicly demanded results from Quinn and Bruce after the investment he's put in this summer and last, and they've already spent 8mil (
rising to 12mil) on a striker, Connor Wickham, this window.
I believe Bruce would have to sell before any more are bought, and there's no rumours about any of Sunderland's players leaving.

Hm yeah you could have a point there, we really need a signing like this!
According to sources on Twitter, Papiss is in England today having talks with Fulham and Stoke.
The veracity if the source is called into doubt when it then goes on to say that Stoke are favourites.

I'd say if it's down to a two horse race between us and Stoke then it's the respective managers that are going to make or break the deal.
Stoke have already called time on two deals (
Cole and someone else whose name eludes me) because whilst Pulis has stated the money is there for transfers they are unwilling to break their wage structure and give in to players demands (
sound familiar?).
Therefore the clubs are very similar (
except for style of football), similar ground size, similar wage structure, both in the Europa League groups stage. Unless Cisse does some serious homework on both clubs then it really could come down to who impresses him the most, Jol or Pulis.
Where to live? London or Stoke?
Tough one.

You would hope that a man who has managed HSV, Ajax and Spurs would impress Cisse more than a man who has managed Gillingham.
Time for Mo to pull out all the stops and give Cisse a tour of London via Helicopter
'If we want Cisse we'll have to pay the price - we can't afford to end up with no one.'
So true.

Indeed! That's why, if this rumour is to be believed, my money is on Jol every time.
I don't think I could describe the devastation that I would feel if Stoke pipped us to Cisse.
I HATE THEM SO MUCH
Sky Sports sources understand Stoke City are in talks with Chelsea over a potential loan move for Romelu Lukaku.
Perhaps there isn't much substance to their link with Cisse?

We should go for Cisse, But bloody hell that would be a good loan move for stoke!
'If we want Cisse we'll have to pay the price - we can't afford to end up with no one.'
Totally agree, this is the price we have to pay to move forwards as a club.
Could just go for Lukaku if we dont fancy Cisse :59:

What happened to Crouch, personally rate him?
Put the money down and buy Cisse, the boy is TOP CLASS and we would more than get our money back further down the line.
If we get Cisse I will Celebrate untill sunday! Whould really be amazing and should solve all our problems up front.
Him and Zamora up front, glad I`m not going to be the CB trying to stop that :011:

Doesn't mean anything really.
Knowing how we do business, and the size of our club, with the mooted transfer fee it wouldn't surprise me if any bid we've made has been with the condition it must not be made public.
We've never actually been mentioned by Freiburg, only the press.

The Lukaku deal has fallen foul of a Premier League rule stating a player cannot be loaned to another top flight club in the same window in which he signed for the parent club.
Stoke are now apparently in for Bendtner.
For Stoke rather than us to get Bendtner would seriously piss me off.
Unless, of course, we get someone better.
Bendtner has scored 22 goals in 98 appearances for arguably one of the best attacking teams in the Premier League.
Hardly outstanding given the team he had around him, and not surprising he fell down the pecking order. It speaks volumes that Wenger puts Gervinho, Chamakh, Coquelin and Frimpong ahead of him.
I'd feel nothing if he went to Stoke.

You'd feel nothing until he scored against us and Stoke relegate us to the Championship
Any player we've been linked with who signs for another Premier League club will score against us. We are Fulham remember, that's the sort of thing that regularly happens to us. New signing gets their maiden goal, those going through a dry spell break their duct; it's just the way it is.

1. he hardly played the 90 minutes, and had the odd five minute cameo ON THE WINGS!
2. Gervinho is a completely different player. Chamakh is a classy centre forward. Coquelin and Frimpong are defensive midfielders. Hardly Bendtner's position.... :dead horse:

i'm putting my house on Torres to score a hatrick against us if he's still not producing.

No, but it means he chose to play five across the middle rather than two upfront. If Bendtner were as class as he'd have you believe he'd have played the last two games when they were short on strikers.

Not playing two up front does not mean that the team is not attacking.
Wenger is not a huge fan of 4-4-2 and has always preferred a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation with one central striker. Robin Van Persie usually takes this role and Bentdner is usually pushed out of position out wide.

it's not that he isnt a huge fan (Arsenal always used to play 4-4-2), its more the case of him not having the players for it. Song/Wilshere/Rosicky/Ramsey don't scream presence, where Vieira/Gilberto/Petit were more than capable in a central midfield 2.
But yes Bendtner has been used mainly as a winger, and when has played centrally how often do you see Arsenal whip the ball in the box from the touchline to their striker, not so much.
Is Cisse similar to Bendtner or are we just speculating on strikers we've been linked with?

I don't believe they are necessarily like for like, so it's more speculating who we've been linked with.
