Sifu Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Despite him not travelling, I'm strangely optimistic that he will be wearing a NUFC shirt come the City game. Maybe it's the sun messing up my mind but I'm not particularly worried about this situation... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It would be preposterous if we sold him man. The man has to fold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Is it confirmed he's not travelling? Fucking hell it's one disaster to the next Not that we're in the habit of changing thread titles without it being sourced from a reputable(ish) place. @lee_ryder 19m Papiss Cisse has not travelled with #nufc to Portugal @milesstarforth 17m Papiss Demba Cisse won't be travelling to Portugal with #nufc this afternoon. @paulfraserecho 12m Interested to hear Cisse will not travel to Portugal with #NUFC. Alan Pardew, when we asked last night, was under impression he would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matta Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If its because of the sponsor, how is it any different than last year? Virgin Money also has interest on their loans, and isn't that the case with muslims ? Hope he stays, won't get anyone better in a million years.

Dr Venkman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Don't have a problem with him kicking up a stink about this. Shows character to be this firmly behind his beliefs, better to stand up against a morally repugnant brand than just get his head down and get on with it. Quite a big difference between giving them publicity by refusing it and having a large number of photos of him in the kit and a massive grin on his face. Bullshit, he wore a Virgin Money shirt last season, they lend money for profit, he's just being a twat looking for more money or a way out. Is correct imo, he wants out.

NUFC_Chris Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 We're paying him a lot of money to pull on the jersey. If he's willing to play football in countries where gambling/drinking alcohol/ & companies like Wonga are a huge business, and can legally sponsor football clubs, in my opinion, he shouldn't bring his religion into it, just as the rest of players haven't.

Al Moody Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 TBF if all we're going on is Ryder's tweet, then you can probably bet Cisse is sitting next to Pardew and about to have a tour of the cockpit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 It's only pre-season, why can't he wear an unbranded top for now, while they sort this out in time for the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He'll be gone imo, far too many rumours around about him going even before all this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Again has he actually been quoted as saying this is a muslim thing? I hear it's purely fashion related. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 What a fucking crap situation this is, why can't things just be simple, put a top on and play football, how hard is that really? Crap sponsors, crap religious beliefs. Just crap from start to finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm really pulling for Gouffran to get a run in that striker role btw. He was a 1 in 2 striker in France in that position. Holds the ball up better than Cisse, as he's tougher and does a great job of shielding it. And he'll also work the channels more, and likely won't stray offside as much. It's an opportunity for Gouffran this. Hope he grabs it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If we we're sponsored by Ladbrokes would he have a problem I wonder? Doesn't mind picking up his 60K/week salary does he. The staggering hypocrisy of both the player and his sympathisers beggars belief. So Wonga are what they are ? Most banks are, FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 He gambles which is also not allowed by his religion. Wonder why he does that, maybe because he enjoys it. If this turns out to be true, he's a hypocrite and get the GTFO with his cherry picking bullshit. Personally i don't think it's as bad as it's being made out to be. I think it's more to do with him fasting for Ramadan ding dong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was I find it hard to believe even a PR dept. as bad as the one at NUFC wouldn't have released a statement (to Sports Direct News) saying so.

David Icke - Son of God Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If its because of the sponsor, how is it any different than last year? Virgin Money also has interest on their loans, and isn't that the case with muslims ? Hope he stays, won't get anyone better in a million years. Virgin Money offer loans for Muslims, sharia banking if you will. That particular brand of high street banking is also such an integral part of society, something that has been around so long there has probably been a degree of modernisation and acceptance from Muslims too. It would be extremely hard for anyone to go about their day to day lives without banks. Payday lenders are a completely different beast. They're relatively new entities that cater to those in dire need and make vast sums of cash off the back of individuals who don't have a lot to begin with. You don't need to be a religious person to feel extremely uneasy that there's an entire industry sprung up around lending money to people who are struggling to get by at frankly eye watering rates of interest. It's sick. And these cunts are associated with our club. And in a region where unemployment is through the roof and more and more people have to rely on them.
