Newcastle United have been handed a huge boost with the news that Papiss Cisse will be staying put at the club
Despite Newcastle United’s relegation into the Championship, manager Rafael Benitez has agreed to continue on as manager at the club and surely as a consequence, a number of players have pledged their allegiance to the Magpies.
The likes of Ayoze Perez, Tim Krul, Vurnon Anita and Kevin Mbabu are all eyeing a stay at Newcastle and while Siem De Jong and Georginio Wijnaldum have been dropping hints regarding a potential exit, majority of the current crop look likely to stay put.
Now in another boost for the Magpies, striker Papiss Cisse has gone on to reveal that he is also willing to remain at St. James’ Park this summer.
Cisse had been consistently linked with a move away from Newcastle even when the Magpies were in the Premier League and it was expected that the 30-year-old would surely be looking for an exit following the club’s relegation.
Surprisingly though, Cisse has gone on to reveal that he is open to seeing out his contract at Newcastle and is keen on helping the club earn promotion back into the Premier League.
The Senegalese international said, “We’re not a small team, I have a year left on my contract and I will stay put. Newcastle are a big club and can rise again overnight. All the players know this and we will take the club back up.”
Cisse has struggled for goals over the last few seasons and his relationship with the fans is not the strongest at the moment. Nonetheless, the striker would have endeared himself to the club faithful following his latest admission and he will surely want to play a big part next season.
Andymag, when I click on quote on my tablet, the response which I post tends to get lost in ghe mire somewhat… I meant the way the old blog used to be , when somehow the blog automatixally linked to the comment you were reacting to. I found it great to maintain the dialogue with a fellow bloggr. At the moment it seems that everything is lumped into the same pot. I realise thee are restrictions on what you can do with the software availabe, but like Rafa you have a whole pre-season to tinker…do your best mate ! ☺

Woy Hodgson is a total goon IMO. Why the hell hasn’t Townsend been give a fair crack in these 2 friendlies?. He’s not even getting a full half game.
Sterling couldn’t lace Townsends boots IMO.

Good goal from Shrek but I’m getting annoyed that Sterling is still on the pitch with Townsend sat behind Woy.
Give the lad at least 30mins to prove himself FFS!!!. Delph also not getting and I don’t think he’s used Sturridge yet either – is that the 3 that don’t go?! 👿

I believe Clarky will get his chance in the premier league.
English managers will come back in favour. Just look at Pards. He’s now favourite for England. 😉
Watching the England game.
I’ve said it for ages. Ross Barclay is so over rated.
Troy Stavers(Quote)
come on then Andros 😀
Kimtoon(Quote)
Townnsend is on fire.
Shamrock(Quote)
Oops poor touch there Andros.
Shamrock(Quote)
Troy agreed regarding Barclay, poses a lot but doesn’t really create much.
Laughing at Hoddles daft quotes and reflections on the game. Diers own goal was one of the best finishes I have seen for ages. Why on earth did he head it…aaaah while he has no left foot….
Munich Mag(Quote)
Ok not on fire. 2 good things, 2 bad things so far.
Shamrock(Quote)
Clarky in the Premier League… dont think so Troy..
Munich Mag(Quote)
Sham Townsend only has 14 minutes to show his worth…I suppose at least he got off the bench
Munich Mag(Quote)
What’s the point in giving anyone 3 minutes in a friendly match?
Shamrock(Quote)
I particularly enjoyed the mackems booing the Londoner who has played a few matches for NUFC but cheering the Hexham born Newcastle loving goalkeeper off….
CC(Quote)
Why does Henderson seem allergic to looking the interviewer in the eye?
Shamrock(Quote)
Just seen the Dier goal. Good effort. Harry Kane has obviously shown him a thing or two.
Our CBs are not good enough and for that reason we won’t go past the last 8.
Shamrock(Quote)
Our CMs are not much better either.

Clarky is another Steve Bruce. He’ll go back to the championship and get a team promoted.
Mark or mock my words. 😉

They’re ok, Sham. Just 0utplayed. 😀

Bris the Aussies always put in a shift. Didn’t they flatten England last time out or am I imagining it?
I miss Tim Cahill. He used to leap like a gazelle and had a good volley on him too.
Shamrock(Quote)
He’s still in-season in China. Couldn’t get the time off. Half a dozen first-choice Socceroos are still in-season in China
Brisvegas(Quote)
Proper playerTim, Cahill.

Wow! Good job the Ozzies aren’t in the Euros. They would be humiliated. 😀
Poor Aussie is currently trying to get his English accent back by downloading “learn yourself the Queens English”
If the Ozzies had won Aussie would have been calling everyone Matey, hey fair dinkum possums you put up a fair tucker there boys. ! 😀
Troy Stavers(Quote)
🙄 Troy, one does not appreciate your comments. Please refrain from such behavior old chap! Tally Ho!
Aussie Magpie Fan(Quote)
fair tucker? Like a toffee apple? That was a real toffee apple performance ??? Doesn’t work for me, Troy. You might have to brush up on your Aussie colloquialisms.
Brisvegas(Quote)
England didn’t need to get out of third gear to beat the Aussies. Don’t worry lads and lasses, our names on the trophy this year… a new golden generation.. 😎
Munich Mag(Quote)
You mean – weren’t allowed to get out of third gear.

I looked into Baba’s ball last year and predicted we would win it or get to the final. Some on here scoffed. Some may still.
YKWYA 😉
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Psychs is noticeable by his absence.
He must be waiting, ready to pounce for Rafa to say something wrong in a press conference. He hasn’t got round to a character assassination yet. Itll come.
Rafa is no adonis so it won’t be long before he refers to him as the fat ugly Spanish waiter. 🙄
Troy Stavers(Quote)
Troy, Eric Sykes is at his anger management seminar all week and they have no internet access.. plus he always has his get-out-of-jail-card Paul Merson and his a well documented heed size 🙂
Munich Mag(Quote)
Bris, we didn’t need to get out of third gear mate… it’s Woy’s new tactic, containment then explosion and boom, we blow the opposition out of the water, they just don’t know what hit them … A sure fire success… 😎

Aussie. The WC. That’s where you lock yourself in when you go on your infamous tantrums. 😆
I must get you wound up again. I’ve slackened of late. I’ve been away and found you’ve sneaked back on and got your confidence back. 😯
That’s no good. We need you back to your temperimental explosive best! 😆
Troy Stavers(Quote)
I fear Roy has cocked up in his squad selection & that could be his down fall.
Smalling went off last night, Cahill isn’t 100% fit and his plan B is a defensive midfielder.
I’d be dropping either a RB or midfielder for another CB personally.

Bacon, cheese and egg pie? But that is more of a quiche lorraine though isn’t it?

That was only 6, on my way to 10. So, NY Cheese cake. Black Forest Gateau, key lime pie and pumpkin pie.

Who falls out with their brother for 3 years. Especially when he has EXACTLY the same attitude and personality as you? Correct that. Maybe that is why you fell out with him 🙂

Bloody hell, he is getting even fatter. Almost the size of Bernard Manning without the jokes. Yes. Steve Bruce. He is a man mountain but with just the fat and not the granite or limestone.

Got to say, I do hope we go up automatically, bloody playoffs are too tense for my liking.
Kimtoon(Quote)
Kim – I agree. But I am enjoying this game actually. Usually they are quite cagey affairs with neither side wanting to loose rather than going for the win.
I’m rooting for Wednesday personally. I’m always had a soft spot for them, especially growing up.
Sharpy17(Quote)
That was a good goal. However, in a few years Steve Bruce would have blocked my line of sight. In fact, he will block out the sun if he gets any bigger.

And obviously Paul Merson’s Giant Balloon Head. Because he does have a GIANT balloon head.
I could say “Paul Merson Talks *****” head and that would be very appropriate as well.
