Guest Cuddy Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 "John Carver hopes his top scorer will be fit to face Hull after the top scorer returns from the African Cup of Nations"- Awful writing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I dunno if he's fit like, a mate of mine watched him on the telly and said he looked alright, I think I was a but bladdered at the time? - John Carver -Coach of the year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Averaging a goal every 74.8mins is this lovable daft lad. Would be absolutely outrageous in a decent team nevermind here given the levels of shite providing him with chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Love this madcap bastard. Glad he's finally figured out how to score again. Getting on the end of some decent supply? Perhaps he should have worked harder on protecting his left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Apart from his finishing he really is a pretty awful footballer, but I love him. Has scored as many as van Persie this season, in fewer games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Can you just imagine how good a goal scorer this guy would be if he had a proper team setup around him, to create chances? What a bloody waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Would he play for a 'proper team' though? It would be good if we weren't such a negative, abhorrent side for sure. But, Cisse is such a poor footballer, I don't think he'd ever get signed for a decent team. If he did, he wouldn't be starting games. He can barely manage that for us and we're a disgrace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 25-goal strikers aren't that easy to find like, I believe that's what he'd be in a side that moves the ball around properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Never scored 25 goals in a season = 25 goals a season striker at another club Potentially yes.

He can barely manage that for us and we're a disgrace Forget being on another team. I just mean if we played a better brand of football that actually created more chances. For example when he first joined and he was inbetween Ba and Ben Arfa, with Cabaye behind him, you could see his true potential then. I don't think that was a fluke at all. Funnily enough, I genuinely don't recall being as concerned about his general play then, because he wasn't as isolated, and didn't have to have as many touches so far from the box, and so could better fulfil his goal poacher role.

He has to contribute to this "better brand of football". When he's on form he'll find the back of the net consistently, regardless of how the team plays because he's that type of player. When he first came he was on fire - full stop. Different formations, personnel he was on fire. Like he is now. When he first joined although we got whooped 2 or 3 times, generally we could keep clean-sheets and keep teams from scoring. 1 or 2 goals would be enough. In the first half of the season Ba got them, in the second half Cisse got them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Apart from his finishing he really is a pretty awful footballer, but I love him. Has scored as many as van Persie this season, in fewer games. Funny thing is that first half he was linking up play EXACTLY like he did when he joined us first. He was playing some perfect balls into space and switching play. I love this fella and every time I get annoyed with him he goes bangs in a goal like that. Get the ball to him in the box and he's going to score. 5 players around him and the 2 full backs. 7 fucking players need to be working their tail off to get this man the ball. He'll start causing havoc in that box and it's only going to open things up for the others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 We would let him go for a decent fee. IN the PL I would be surprised if a top 6/7 side came in for him and he succeeded. For us - at the moment he's the top lad. The difference between safe and relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 We're shite so he's fine for NUFC and its ambitions, and he may even look like a bit of a diamond whilst embedded in the dollop of poo that is the team, but there's no way he's a top player IMO. This goals per minute stat is misleading. Wonder what it is if you factor in his season long drought? he'll go through spells of good poaching but his overall play is shocking and he's capable of extended periods of shit poaching, offsides and smiling annoyingly when he fails to trouble opposing centre halves or remind them he's still on the pitch. Nah, not for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
