Unbelievable Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Two bad seasons, and he didn't exactly cover himself in glory last season either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'd love to know which 2 these were. He kept us up in 12-13 with his goals in the second half of the season after the Ba nonsense in the first half. Hardly a 'bad' season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If we sign Mitrovic then we have a really impressive looking forward line on paper. Cisse is twice the striker Austin is in my opinion, he's had one poor season in the past 5 or 6 and that was down entirely to poor management and his confidence being destroyed. Spending £15m on Austin and letting Cisse go for probably less that half of that seems a bit mental. Wouldn't say that, Austin's goal record is far more impressive, albeit in poorer leagues. He's 4 years younger as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other seasons point to him being as natural a goalscorer as we've ever had. Isn't his goals to minutes ratio even better than Shearer's? Impressive when you consider how shit the teams he's played in are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Last season he was lethal until John Carver took over. Actively selling him would be insane Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Even last season I couldn't really enjoy him scoring goals as he was single handedly keeping Pardew in a job by scoring those braces vs Hull and Swansea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Even with our terrible supply line he scores goals. Until we get at least one proven goal scorer who is battle hardened in the premier, it's a risk to sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 It's a risk even then. We'd still only have Perez as back-up (and/or would be forced into playing Riviere *shudder* or 1 up top all season). If Cisse turns up next season he could score 20 goals. Or he may not and only score half a dozen, who knows? Either way it seems like a negative move for the sake of £8m or whatever it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we signed Austin and Mitrovic we could think about selling him if only because he's 30. I wouldn't though, his legs aren't about to fall off at that age, he's still good for probably 3 seasons at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 If we had some midfielders who were capable of putting a quick ball through to him on one of his many offside trap runs then he would score shi#loads, the fact that we had ponderous plodders putting the ball through to him makes an argument as to why he hasn't scored as regularly as he should. Would rather keep him if we are playing a pass based approach rather than hoofball based Pardle tactics... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think Cisse thrives off low crosses more than anything else. Agree in general though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 His movement in general is class, I never mind forwards getting offside a lot. In particular he knows how to split the defenders on crosses and get a free strike away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think Cisse thrives off low crosses more than anything else. Agree in general though. I think we'll see a quicker brand of football, this season, and that'll be a big help. Too often over the last couple of years, our wide men have (slowly) received the ball in positions where our attackers are outnumbered in the box and midfielders generally don't want to get in the mix to create more space.

sugoinufc Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 in the right team and with the right manager he can be as good/lethal as anyone we bring in. Give him another season to prove that pardew is to blame for this drop of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
