Papiss Cissé

[Lush Vlad]

Even if he is fit.  We still need a new striker and about 3 more players on top of that.

In the same way we needed a central defender but we've got too many on the books already so are happy to put our faith in Coloccini, Mbemba and Taylor (back in training this month!)

I really don't want to be too sceptical about this but it just stinks of a reason not to buy a striker this window. Then once the deadline passes he will in fact be out until March after all.

Bang on, matches up with SM's comments about Riviere last week too.

[KaKa]

I really can't stand this guy. Wish it was 12 months, so I could get a break from his silly face.

The Butcher of Benton strikes again.

 

Inspired.

Won't see him until Southampton away in April, nailed on.

From the BBC FA Cup feed:

 

What's going on with Papiss Cisse? One minute he's out for three months, then days later he's back training. Why didn't he just ask for a day off...

 

Steve McClaren explains: "Papiss has been out on the field running and as long as he keeps running, he could be back training next week.

 

"On medical advice, we are letting him rehabilitate and he is progressing very quickly in that rehab. There may come a point where he breaks down or he comes right the way through and he is fit.

 

"Hopefully we will see him soon."

Nah mate he's the guy who played up front in the two games we've won in the last about 2 months

Who's in charge here? 

 

Papiss Cisse is set to undergo surgery in a blow to Newcastle United.

 

The striker has been sidelined since before Christmas with a groin problem.

 

And head coach Steve McClaren was hopeful Cisse would not need an operation which would rule him out for "two to three" months.

 

McClaren revealed last week that Cisse had made a tentative return to the training field.

 

Weve had second and third opinions, said McClaren, whose relegation-threatened side take on West Ham United at St James's Park on Saturday.

 

They have said an operation is that length of time, but you could try it and see how it goes. If it goes, youll have the operation.

 

So he has stepped up, stepped up and stepped up.

 

"The injury is complicated. It has surprised me. Its a groin strain. How severe well find out probably the middle of next week."

 

However, Cisse will now undergo surgery which will rule him out for months.

 

McClaren has just one fit senior striker Aleksandar Mitrovic available until one or more striking reinforcements arrive in this month's transfer window, though Ayoze Perez and Siem de Jong can also play up front.

 

Mitrovic scored from the penalty spot in Tuesday night's 3-3 draw with Manchester United.

 

The result ended a run of four successive 1-0 defeats.

[SEMTEX]

I reckon the player tends to be the one to decide whether they should have surgery or not like. Like fuck I'd be letting Derek and Steve decide whether I went under the knife or not.

good, didnt want his return to alter any striker search. Cisse isnt the answer.

Not very well he can't.

Sorry. I just meant in terms of what was going on and how confusing it is.  He was out for ages, then back, then back out again.  I know reading the article clears it up a bit.  But there has clearly been a bit of confusion, as they've never put this information out there until now. 

 

As for who decides on whether or not they're having surgery.  It should almost always be the player who makes the final call. 

 

Hopefully, this means we pursue a striker.  As we're fucked without a decent backup to Mitrovic, at the very least.

Yep. The club would definitely have used a Cisse comeback as an excuse not to sign a striker. They may still try to avoid it the cheap bastards, but they'll be playing with fire. A loan option looks the best bet.

He's the only proven goalscorer that doesn't actually score

[Kaizero]

Like a new signing!

Scored enough to get us 5th once and keep us up twice, like. He's not the answer but stupid posts like these this place can do without.

Just don't let Derek Scissorhands near him again.

We don't need a new striker.  I mean, this bloke has been awful in general play for quite some time now and his goal return hasn't exactly been amazing the last season or two.  But the club won't care. 

 

Need to get Remy or someone in.  Don't think Cisse is the answer and gave up on him ages ago.  Mitro isn't the answer yet, either.

 

EDIT: It seemed he scored 11 in 22 last season?  Can't say I noticed, as he has looked awful for a long while.  But that is a good return TBF.

I hope we sign a striker too as Cisse is injured too often these days and I don't want to be left relying on his goals to keep us up. But if we don't get a striker in then he's probably our best bet for goals tbh.
