Papiss Cisse: My Signing of the Season! - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
For me, Newcastle's number nine has been the best transfer for not just this season, but the
past few years.
Yesterday evening, Cisse produced two goals of the highest quality to keep Newcastle United
firmly in contention for a place in the Premier League's top four with victory at Chelsea.
Schalke 04 midfielder Jermaine Jones, pictured above heading into Boa Steakhouse for a bite on

to accept the penalty instead.

Some good and some bad news for Salomon Kalou today at the Africa Cup of Nations.
We'll start with the good, the real good. Kalou opened the scoring for Côte d'Ivoire in their
2-0 win against Burkina Faso tonight. Peep Sal's excellent volley in visual form below.
The volley was the cherry on the top of what was another fine performance from the rarely used
Chelsea vet.

Gabon striker Pierre Eymerick Aubameyang has been catching the eye at the Africa Cup of Nations,
not only for his stellar performances but also for his incredibly uninhibited choice in
follicular arrangement, opting for a ginger Mohawk formation that is pitched firmly halfway
between looking 'out-bloody-rageous' and 'like the matted hair that tends to accumulate in and
around the wrong end of a dog'.

This day in history, February 28, 2008: MLS announces Philadelphia will join the league as its
16th franchise in the 2010 season. (Not sure if this counts as a birthday, but it makes for a nice
headline. More importantly, it's just a great day to remember.

Before his country's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Algeria yesterday afternoon,
Gambia 'keeper Musa Camara was seen sprinkling mysterious white powder across his goal-line which
has since been identified as 'Gri Gri' an African voodoo amulet that is supposed to ward off bad
luck and stop stitched leather crossing white paint.
Newcastle striker Demba Ba will not be replaced this is according to coach Alan Pardew. The
Senegalese striker is set to join his national team for the month long Africa Cup Of Nations
tournament that is scheduled to start on the 21st of this month.
Ba has been in scintillating form for the Magpies this season scoring 14 times in the
league.
Roberto Mancini met with the media today ahead of this weekend's FA Cup derby with Manchester
United. During the press conference, Mancini spoke about this weekend's match, and that he has
asked the Ivory Coast manager to allow him to play Yaya and Kolo Toure against United in Sunday
before reporting for Africa Cup of Nations duty.
Big blow for manchester City ahead of this weekend's FA Cup tie with Manchester United after
Ivory Coast coach Francois Zahoui rejected their request to play Yaya and Kolo Toure in Sunday's

"Clubs know the rules," Zahoui told BBC Africa. "I'm expecting them [the Toures] for the Fifa
deadline.

Henry: "I just could not say no to Arsenal"The ongoing saga of finalizing Thierry Henry's
two month loan to Arsenal reached its conclusion today when the Gunners announced that they had an
agreement in place with the New York Red Bulls and MLS. The deal is intended to allow Arsenal to

Nations duty.
Guardian: Newcastle deny £10m approach to Liverpool for striker Andy
Carroll
• Reports linked Alan Pardew with cut-price bid for Carroll • Newcastle sources deny making
contact with Liverpool Newcastle United have dismissed speculation that their former striker Andy
Carroll could make a cut-price return to Tyneside.
There's some news you might be interested in. Might. More, after the jump:
Back to France
Dijon have confirmed that, after a protracted series of negotiations, Gael Kakuta will be
joining the club for the remainder of the campaign. Over the last ten days, Chelsea have been
engaged in a series of loan discussions with both Dijon and Olympiakos.
Demba Ba is reported to be a transfer target for Liverpool, after it was claimed the Newcastle
United striker has a £10million release clause in his contract.
The Senegal international has been the signing of the season, having scored 15 Premier League goals
since his free transfer from West Ham to Newcastle in the summer.
Lille's determination to sign Joe Cole on a permanent deal could see coveted striker Moussa Sow
head in the opposite direction.
Anfield boss Kenny Dalglish has made no secret of his desire to strengthen his attack following a
meagre return of 24 goals in 20 Barclays Premier League games this season.
Good signing from Newcastle today, who completed the signing of Freiburg striker Papiss Demba
Cisse for around £10 million. Cisse has signed at five-and-a-half-year deal with Newcastle.
Newcastle will partner Cisse up-front with his international team-mate Demba Ba, whichh should
end rumors that Demba Ba is leaving Newcastle anytime soon.
Another Ba-rgain buy? Newcastle obviously think they've hit on a successful transfer formula, so
they're sticking to it. They've brought another Senegal international striker called Demba with a
history of playing in the Bundesliga. Papiss Demba Cisse has signed from Freiburg in a
five-and-a-half-year deal, for an undisclosed fee thought to be in the region [.
The recent signing of Senegal striker Papiss Cisse by United added to the fact that Demba Ba is
also a Senegal star potentially means that Geordie fans will take more of an interest in the

Prior to Bob Bradley being appointed as its head coach, Egypt failed to qualify for the 2012
Africa Cup of Nations. The Pharoahs' failure is the rest of Africa's success, as for the first
time in six years a new champion will be crowned.
The 28th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations is set to get underway on Saturday, with 16 teams
competing in the host nations of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Losing key players at any stage of the season is far from ideal, so when clubs lose in-form star
men during the Africa Cup of Nations it must be particularly frustrating for Premier League
managers.
The turn of the year is notoriously difficult for clubs – with injuries, suspensions and fatigue
playing a part after a busy festive period.
