Unbelievable Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Can only really echo others views, pretty well covered on here! Surprised at how good his all round game is, thought he was just going to be a 'poacher' type. An instinctive striker and has so far fluffed his 3 seemingly easier chances. His movement is superb, was worried he was going to get caught offside a lot, as the stats from Germany seemed to suggest he was born offside. Amazing to think he's looking this good and he still doesn't speak English and is yet to settle Seems to be exactly the opposite. In fact, he appears to be one of the best in the business in timing his runs based on his first 6 matches for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The third goal has been slightly underrated imo. As scintillating as Ben Arfa was, i personally think his cut-back was meant for Ba, and it was slightly wayward. With anyone other than Cisse on the pitch, that chance was gone and we wouldn't have killed the game. Then when it came to the finish, he only had a smallish margin to put the ball, as there were two defenders and a keeper in front of him. He had to smash the ball in a specific spot to ensure the keeper had no chance of stopping it. Basically, all-round superb poacher play. I think we've found an absolute gem here, like.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 The relaxation for his second was what impressed me. On the replay, he just smoothly adjusts his body and hits it, no tension and no snatching at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it was wayward, it seemed that way because Ba was taken out by their cb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Yep, Ba would easily have got on to it. No fucking messing from Cisse though, absolutely drilled it home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Well, either way, Ba was out of the picture and the chance would have been gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Crooksy is an utter plum, but I'll always appreciate his work during the 2006 World Cup. He did pieces to camera whilst driving a Ferrari and whilst doing backstroke in a swimming pool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I like Pardew's comments about Cisse going off on a stretcher, " He had very bad cramp in each leg, when we came in he was walking like a granny, we all made fun of him, it was a laugh" I bet Garth uses the drive-thru at McDonalds then goes inside to eat his food. :lol: 2 of the funniest things I've seen on here in a while.

All true, but regarding the gem bit, anyone who has observed the Bundesliga knows he was an absolute gem for some time before we got him. Possibly Giggsy but my suspicious mind wonders if Miaga's failed medical was made to happen when we realised Cisse was a possibility in January ??

Cajun Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I really don't think we could deliberately fail a players medical. We would open ourselves up to be sued for millions making stuff up like that if it affected the players future earning potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, every club can argue it's own level of physical sufficiency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
