Leaders of Makhachkala "Anji" is considering buying 27-year-old Newcastle and Senegal national team striker Papis Cisse.

 

According to "Izvestia", Makhachkala are ready to offer around €18 million for the forward, and - as with most of their players - a contract with an annual salary of around €3 million, which is significantly more than his current salary at Newcastle.

 

It is worth noting that the Anji coaching department have followed Cisse from the time of his performances for Freiburg in Germany. According to the club's management and coaching staff, the Senegalese striker could easily fit into the team.

I don't get this "We'd be mad not to take x amount", it doesn't make a jot of difference to us fans how much we make as our transfer system doesn't work like that.

 

whey of course I'm making the (most probably naive) assumption that it'd be reinvested in the playing squad.

Every sale has been reinvested in the playing squad, it might not happen straight away but it happens :lol:

 

Cisse & Shola out, Bony & Auba in.

 

Be alright that like. :)

 

While i agree we would still have the problem of lacking serious depth.

There's money there for transfers. If we sell Cisse for £18m we'll only look to replace him with another striker for probably around £10m, tops, which is always a gamble.

 

Some people think Cisse is shite like which is fair enough, I disagree.

Would finance Carroll and another striker.

 

Don't want to see him go, but at the same time he could be a far greater asset to clubs who don't have rubbish like Jonas Gutierrez providing the 'service'.

I don't think he's shite, just not good enough to rely on as a main striker. He's let us down loads last season, gloss over it with service but I saw plenty of times good service and him to fluff his part. We can't afford to carry him and him being the only real goal threat, we'll be nearly relegated again.

 

If it goes to funding two capable strikers then cheers for the wonder goals, and hello consistency (hopefully)

when we got rid of Nolan, Barton, Carroll & Enrique people said we'd never replace them, we did.

 

We shouldn't be afraid of selling players, not when we are offered the very top end of their value, go with it and replace. Imagine not selling Carroll for £35m? It would in hindsight have been the biggest mistake of the decade.

 

If we can get £20m for a Cisse then we will accept and with my blessing, same goes for similar bids for Tiote or Hba. We all knew our squad was going to get torn apart this summer due to keeping Pardew after such a shit finish, no point in worrying IMO, just hope the club replaces like it has done in the past while getting great fees in so we have the funds to buy.

We shouldn't be replacing our best players just because someone has bid for them. Despite what we're always told, we don't need the money and the replacement could well be crap.

 

We've got a foundation of good players at present and we should be adding to them.

This is the type of Pardew thinking which will no doubt appeal to our bargain basement owners and their local cheerleaders.
