(CF) Papiss Cisse

[slough_rover]

For a reported 75K a week im not too bothered. You can pay World Class players that much. Most ppl on this MB hadnt even heard of the guy never mind making him the highest earner in the history of our club.

World Class?? Who, Where???

Or are you talking about retired World Class players?

Spurs have a reported 70K per week wage cap. So that would include Modric,Bale and Van der Vaart. All 3 are arguably World class.

[slough_rover]

And btw Chicarito who was signed last season ws on 20K per week and now that has been bumped upto 60K per week. So for 75K per week I would expect alot more than Pappe Cisse.

[davulsukur]

A players salary doesn't define them as world class slough_rover.

Papiss Cisse is not world class, certainly not at this stage in his career. He's has 1 decent season.

Yes all now worth more in terms of wage - should any move then they will be on £100k +. They would also all cost double that of Cisse

Wasnt Van der Vaart only 8 mill?

[Hughesy]

Wasnt Van der Vaart only 8 mill?

Yes about 12 months ago....he would easy fetch £20m now after the impact he has had in this league.....even back then £8m was a snip, nobody knows how they managed it! Had he been touted around at £15m back then, a club would have bought him.

Same with Chicarito....yes he might have come in on small wages, but United didnt expect him to have that big of an impact either - he would now fetch mega money & huge wages as big clubs watch him!

[DE.]

Have to admit I'm still bewildered as to how Spurs got VDV for £8M .... everyone at the time was saying it was an absolute bargain, and so it's turned out to be.

[Kelbo]

Yet Van der Vaart, surprisingly, is substituted in most of the Spurs games on around 70 minutes!!

Thats because he has a bit of the David Dunns about him!

[K-Hod]

VDV is a cracking player, but his fitness levels are quite poor, and he did fade quite badly towards the back end of last season.

BTW- Modric is allegedly on £40k p/w at Spurs....

Get this guy signed up, pay Freiburg the money, He's a goalscorer!

[braddock]

Is he a realistic target?

Genuine question.

[roversfan99]

Nicko doesn't think so, he thinks the deal has gone unless the fee halves and Cisse lowers his own wage demands.

[chris]

apparently we were only willing to go as high as 6 million, but thats just what I heard.

[youandwhosearmy]

gutted we wont be signing him as I think he would be a monster...

lets just spend 6 million on a player who is injured and has doubts about his overall fitness, just because he is cheaper.

They dont see the bigger picture that Cisse will have a great sell on value

On 13mil? I dont think so!

[pick32]

Cisse is a class act and is worth about 8mill but in the current market you probably will have to pay 13million. He is a big risk, has no prem experience and has only just found his shooting boots.

[True Blue & White]

Newcastle have agreed a fee

Cisse and Ba should be an excellent partnership, assuming Ba stays. Assumedly they're using the money left over from the Carroll deal (did they spend any of it?)

[Kamy100]

He'll do well for Newcastle. They getting a good side together, Cabaye, Tiote, Ba and Cisse. Ashley used the Carroll money very wisely.

[chaddyrovers]

He would be a Great Signing for Newcastle. It's a really shame that Rovers wouldn't pay the money for a quality striker

Edited for you.

[bob fleming]

Edited for you.

Indeed. Things look that bad that I doubt Venkys would even fork out for a pot to catch the second part of his first name.
