Cisse is good player, good power and pace, pretty much typical for African players. He was the 2nd highest scorer in the Bundesliga last season in a team (Freiburg) that didn't set the league alight. Tended to play the lone man up front for Freiburg. Had a great finishing season. At 6ft he's got aerial ability but might struggle with the adjustment to English refereeing. At least from what I saw of him.
At £6million in todays market he'd be a steal. Anything above £10million is risky, but that's where you have to go to ward off the Russians these days with their oil and gas cash.
Here's his goals highlight reel.
£12m is the quoted price I think, seems high, then again it's only a third of Andy Carroll I suppose.
