Dan Gleebals Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I have a feeling this will not end well for Demba, not sure why. Good luck to him, if they are offering silly money, there is little we can do about it. Cisse will come into his own now - thats if he does not put Shola in Demba's place, which I would not put past him. Also have grave concerns in our ability to replace him in Jan.

Lush Vlad Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ah fuck. Know I've read that I'm a bit sad :'( Was thinking I had totally accepted him going and thought it was for the best, now I'm gutted TBH. Probably already been said. But he looked like he'd played his last game for us at Arsenal. Came over at the end and was there for some time. Was hardly like Lovenkrands or the Nolan and Barton lap of honour, but he doesn't always acknowledge the fans, especially after a humping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm assuming this is what Sammy was referring to anyway... @Sammy_Ameobi: Uh oh Got to wonder what some of the bigger pros are going to think- the likes of Krul, Colo, Ben Arfa, Cabaye. Well, we are losing a brilliant striker and definitely one of the best in the league That's my biggest worry about him leaving tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJerseyMag Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Oh well, i suppose a couple of good things can come from this, Cisse is the main man now, we can get someone in who can play in and round cisse to help him. The only thing is we have lost a proven goal scorer. Hard to replace. to play the way the majority think we ought to play ie 1 up front with support from behind, we have a proven goalscorer . (need another in incase of injury and for more options though). This seemed inevitable with the release clause being what it is: made worse that we didn't strengthen in the summer and highlighted our lack of ambition. Chelsea is a much better proposition for any player (I'm sad to say this but it is true) who wants to have a shot at winning something. My concern now is that other of our top players want to move on to perceived better opportunities. I for one would have continued with Ba on the right and Cisse up front. Instead of making the player happy, he just placed himself in the shop window and left our future stuck out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordinho Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 It's not ideal that we've spent all season accommodating his wish to play centrally at the expense of Cisse in the hope that we'd hang onto him, and he's still offed at the first opportunity. Thanks for the goals, goodbye to The Ego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Not at all happy we are losing our top goalscorer. But.... Happy that the circus around him will be gone from the club and dressing room. We have time to get a replacement in, though I'm 50/50 whether we'll get a replacement or not.

Indeed - from what I've read he's a popular player in the dressing room. Just need to bring in a quality replacement - someone who can compliment Cisse.
