Ligue 1 - Cisse wants Sunderland stay

Eurosport - Sat, 28 Mar 14:31:00 2009

Djibril Cisse has said he is determined to stay at Sunderland and does not want to return to Marseille, despite their success this season.

The Frenchman is currently on a season-long loan at Wearside and after only scoring once in nine appearances it is unclear where he will be plying his trade next term.

But despite the Black Cats' involvement in a relegation battle, and with Marseille challenging for the French title, the sometime France striker is desperate to stay at the Stadium of Light.

"Maybe it has been difficult for me," he said in the Daily Mail.

"It is not nice to worry about your future and to think about the uncertainty, and perhaps I am distracted but I have to deal with it.

"I want my future to be here but I'm still waiting to sign. I am waiting, I am patient.

"People were surprised when I left one of the best clubs in France and a team in the Champions League to join Sunderland, who were involved in a relegation fight last season. But I was not satisfied in Marseille. I want to score goals and you can't do that from the bench.

"That's me. I want to play and score goals and when I don't I'm not happy. I feel I'm not doing my job properly."

  4. God, Marseille must be one heck of a hole if he wants­ to stay in sunderland - shame to see such a class­ player waste his talents at the poor man's NUFC. I­ think the only reason he wants to sign is because it is­ close to Newcastle, at least he can live somewhere­ decent.

  5. Unfortunately Cisse very rarely shows any real­ commitment, except to his weird hair. He did well at­ Marseilles in order to attract another club. Then, not­ much. Now he will do well again in order to get­ Sunderland to fork over some cash. Don't fall for­ it Niall. He will let you down as soon as you do
