Okay okay so Djibril isn't exactly a stranger in the premier league. He's been around a while and has made a name for himself not only as an oft-injured disappointment. He seems to have some class, seems to have been molded in the Adriano (pre-meltdown) ilk - that is, a powerful, fast, imposing presence, good with the ball at his feet, good in the air. I have no problem with the type of player Cisse is, but I have this theory that after a highly touted foreigner comes into the league and is expected to make a huge impact but then never quite does and bounces around from team to team, attracting interest based solely on name recognition, he loses some of the fire and ambition that is needed to make a real, lasting impact in a squad. Harry Kewell, Anelka, Diouf, Henri Camara, Laurent Robert were all such players who seemed to have mounds of potential, but only showed their ability in spurts and will ultimately be remembered for being journeymen rather than great players for a team.
We need players on the upside of their careers, not damaged goods like Cisse and (wtf) Joey Barton, whatever their unique skill set that make them a nightmare for people like you, (Top Four Club).
