A great partner for Cisse would be someone who can slips balls through for him and be comfortable enough getting into the box to effectively make space. I think de Jong's probably the best partner for Cisse in our squad.
I'm not saying he'd jump. But let's be honest, he'd trade that nonsense for the PL in a second if someone pays him enough. Unlikely to be us, fair play, but I don't think the 'risk' factor would deter him one bit.
I think 'ineffective' is a better word for Tiote. There are games where he appears to be doing his job very well, yet it doesn't positively impact us from an attacking or defensive perspective.
You'd think we would have, like.
All conjecture, of course, but I can't imagine our lot being made aware of a player possibly being off and immediately rushing out to 'panic buy'.
