I think Cisse would be an awesome signing. Hes the big name signing we need to make this year. If he can form a partnership up front with Anelka i think we could expect alot of goals next season. Also, he has european experience which is a plus. I think ?6m is a good deal. Marseille supposed be bidding ?8m though.

 

I thought marseille wanted him on loan, where did you hear they were willing to shell out 8 million?

The marseille chairman said it , well said this any way, Marseille chairman Pape Diouf remains confident of reaching a deal to sign Cisse in the next few days.

 

"About Djibril Cisse, the negotiations should be finished early next week," Diouf said in L'Equipe.

 

"We would prefer a loan but Liverpool want a definitive transfer.

 

"We are in talks about a transfer fee inferior to ?12million (?8m). I have a lot of hope."

Liverpool are looking to use Djibril Cisse to strike a deal with Atletico Madrid for Fernando Torres, according to sources in Spain.

 

The French striker spent last season on loan at Marseille and they are keen for him to return to the Stade Velodrome.

 

However, Liverpool have ruled out any prospect of a new loan - which could hamper Marseille's efforts.

 

Bolton, who could struggle to hold on to Nicolas Anelka this summer, have also been linked - but Liverpool could have other ideas as they look to bolster their own forward line.

 

Reports in Spain suggest Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has made contact over Torres and he is ready to offer Cisse and other players to try and land Atletico's captain.

 

Arsenal and Manchester United are also being tipped to mount bids for the Spanish international, but Liverpool appear to be heading the race at present.

 

Torres has never shirked in his commitment to the Atletico cause, but the Rojiblancos may be ready to do a deal for the 23-year-old.

 

The chance to sign Cisse could be tempting for Atletico, who it is claimed have also been offered the chance to sign Luis Garcia - who is on his way back from a serious knee injury.

 

English reports suggested Peter Crouch could be offered for Torres, but Benitez has already insisted that the England striker is in his long-term plans - unlike Cisse.

Looking less likely now, especially if the ?8m rumors are to believed, I don't think we'd stump up that kind of money for Cisse. Quite rightly too.

for me I reckon Anelka will go to Arsenal for ?11m and we'll get Cisse for ?7m

Cisse linked with Athletico Madrid now as replacement for Liverpool bound Torres...Swap deal ??!!?? looks likely

It's reported that Madrid will only accept Crouch, not interested in Cisse.

From F365

 

Djibril Cisse's agents are reportedly in talks with Atletico Madrid about the Frenchman being a makeweight in the Fernando Torres deal.

 

 

Spanish newspaper AS claims that Rafa Benitez has instructed Cisse to open negotiations with Atletico as they refuse to accept an offer of ?16m plus Luis Garcia for Torres.

 

 

Liverpool will not pay the ?27m fee for Torres and are desperate to make a deal that will see a squad player moving in the opposite direction.

 

 

is it just me or is he wearing odd boots whilst maiming this mexican fellow?

Cisse does wear odd boots: just to show he's "unique". Not that the brittle bones and stupid hairstyles don't do that for him already!

 

Anelka will go to Arsenal for around ?9m, plus Song and Gilbert.

We'll pay ?7m for Cisse and ?2m to spare for another signing and our spending will be done for the summer.

If we have to lose Anelka this sounds a good way to lose him!

Fine by me

I would be surprised if the Arsenal board want to antagonise Wenger further by blocking his transfers, unless they already know he?s on his way to Barcelona.

 

If so start the Little Sam to Arsenal rumour.

I hope that article isn't true

 

it links us with Harewood

aye, but what did you ask it?

I asked what's the stupidest transfer of them all.

Harewood? I can't decide, is he a fat f?ck or just "big boned"?

He's a big boned lazy fat f?ck.

Hope that clears that one up.

disagree... if he is "big boned" why does his leg snap whenever someone taps it?

 

I also don't think he is lazy.

 

He would be a great signing if only because we might actually play with 2 up front with him in the team

They're talking about Harewood & not Cisse.

 

And paying anything more than ?6m for Cisse is stupid - he's another Diouf, but slightly more brittle.

Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse is set to sign a permanent deal with Marseille despite a late approach from West Ham.

 

Bolton and Portsmouth were also interested in signing the 25-year-old, who cost Liverpool ?14m in July 2004.

 

But Cisse, who spent last season on loan at Marseille, is keen to join the French club on a permanent basis.

 

"Marseille is definitely the choice for Djibril," Cisse's agent Ranko Stojic told BBC Sport. "I think the deal will happen on Friday or Saturday."

 

Stojic added: "I have been very busy this week - I caught six planes in two days - and I am sorry for the people I have not had the chance to call back, Mr Eggert Magnusson of West Ham for example."

 

Magnusson, who was thwarted in his attempt to sign Darren Bent from Charlton, tried to contact Stojic earlier in the week - but Cisse had already opted to join Marseille permanently.

 

"The Marseille option is the best choice for Djibril because of the Champions League," said Stojic.

 

"West Ham, Bolton and Portsmouth I understand are very, very good clubs but Djibril wants to play in the top level of European competition next season."

 

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez made it clear that Cisse would only be allowed to leave Anfield on a permanent basis.

 

"Mr Benitez has been very, very correct," added Stojic.

 

"Of course he tried to get a little bit more money for his club but I think it will be a good deal for everybody.

 

"There are some details to sort out between Liverpool and Marseille but I think it will happen soon."

 

Marseille started their pre-season training on 25 June and the player is keen to sort out his future as soon as possible so he can join his new team-mates.

 

Cisse, who has two years left on his deal at Liverpool, has broken his leg twice in the last three years, first in 2004 and then in a friendly for France against China last year just before the World Cup in Germany.

 

And after suffering such serious injuries, Stojic stated: "He is so motivated after all the problems he has had."

 

Oh well!

Bolton say they launched a 'big bid' for Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse but look set to lose out to Marseille in the race to sign him.

Wanderers boss Sammy Lee has been busy in the transfer market by drafting in Jlloyd Samuel, Gavin McCann and Danny Guthrie, while a number of youngsters have also arrived.

Lee still has money to spend on a 'big impact' signing, though, and it was hoped that player would be Cisse, who Lee was keen to link up with Nicolas Anelka, El-Hadji Diouf and Kevin Davies.

 

However, the Frenchman looks set to sign for Marseille and Lee will have to look elsewhere, with Reading's Leroy Lita also said to be on the gaffer's wanted list.

 

"It's no secret that we made a big bid for Djibril Cisse who would have joined Anelka, Diouf and Davies in our forward line," chairman Phil Gartside revealed. "But we won't be putting in any more big bids unless we find the right player who will improve on what we've got.

 

"We've not lost any players - other than Tal Ben Haim - and we've had two or three people join us. We've also got the young lads who joined us in January who are all fitting in as well."

Id love cisse in the team at bolton but how we it work?

 

I assume that we will play 4-4-2 well one of our top strickers will be sat on the bench if he comes. i cnat see Lee leaving Anelka out cos of his ability. and the only other thing is if he moves diouf wide.

 

As for davies dont think he will feature at all if we do get cisse

Drop SKD at your peril.
