Papiss Cisse update

[Luke]

'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.

[elgreenio]

Could just go for Lukaku if we dont fancy Cisse  :59:

[rhyspabsolom]

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?

Thought Lukaku said no loan as part of deal?

Or they have a Plan B?

What happened to Crouch, personally rate him?

[Blingo]

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.

[Yarden]

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:

According to Twitter:

Freiburg confirm four clubs have now bid for striker Papiss Demba Cisse. All rejected. Club still holding out for £13m #ffc #nufc #rubin

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.

[FulhamMic]

Sky Sports sources understand Stoke City are in talks with Chelsea over a potential loan move for Romelu Lukaku.

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.

[TonyGilroy]

For Stoke rather than us to get Bendtner would seriously piss me off.

Unless, of course, we get someone better.

[FulhamMic]

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

[FulhamMic]

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.

[FulhamMic]

Coquelin and Frimpong are defensive midfielders. Hardly Bendtner's position.... :dead horse:

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.

Arsenal with a 4-4-2 formation? ahahaha.

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?
