Don't know if he's still a target for us or ever was, but their president Jean-Claude Hamill told Liverpool's official website: 'It is out of the question that Cisse leaves this summer'. Cisse is 22 now and I recall last year we were all thinking he would leave then or now. Definately appears Pool have got in touch though. 'Gerard Houllier has been a friend for a long time and nothing prevents us signing an agreement in time.'
Cisse staying, Mexes leaving
- Thread starter Gazza
- Start date
That man is incredibly FIT he´s got a ugly hair though and he´s skilled, he clearly has no business going to liverpool.
I find him to be vastly overrated.
Cisse staying then but Mexes, it seems, is leaving

I actually think that we will sign Mexes before an attacker. Fergie has been chasing him for years. Now, with Brown, injured and Blanc leaving, surely he would feel that the time is right to bring the "new Blanc" to OT.
I heard the disagreement was because Mexes has a buy-out clause of not much more than 2 million... around the same price as Cygan. Frightening if things turned out that way, I hope Wenger would look suitably red faced.
Cisse: I dream of joining Liverpool
Liverpool target Djibril Cisse has given the strongest indication yet that he is ready to quit Auxerre and join the Reds, by claiming that he dreams of joining Gerard Houllier's side.
In a tough-talking interview with France Football magazine, Cisse pleaded for a move away from the French Cup winners, despite assurances from club president Jean-Claude Hamel that the striker would be going nowhere.
"I dream to join this club now. Everyone needs to know that.
"I am strong enough to leave, I want to go and see in England what happens. In life you have to take risks and I know at Liverpool they want me. If I don't join them now I will be disappointed." said the jet-heeled Frenchman
Cisse added that he would prefer a move to Anfield as opposed to Marseille, who are also strongly rumoured to be interested in capturing his signature, although he wouldn't rule out a switch to the Stade Velodrome later on in his career.
"L'OM (Marseille) is still in my heart, but England and Liverpool are too attractive," he said. "L'OM will be a little later, I hope so, if they still want me in some years time."
Cisse believes that a move away from the Stade Abbe-Deschamps, would greatly assist his development and that the time is now right to seek new pastures.
"I have been at Auxerre for seven years now. Today if the door can be opened, if everyone can take advantage, I think the time has come to go and see someone else," said the French international.
"I am 22 years old and it is essential for my evolution. Now that the season is over with Auxerre, it is not a secret anymore, I can openly say it - I wish to leave.
"The officials and the coach know my desire and point of view. I want to improve and that means according to me, joining a foreign club," he said.
Cisse has also appealed to the officials at Auxerre to understand his position and his need to experience new challenges by moving to Anfield.
"I don't want any trial of strength, but I want them to understand my state of mind, and if the coach remains in his position I will stay at AJA (Auxerre). It's my energy. I want to taste another football and my officials have to understand me. That kind of challenge represents a deep need, " said Cisse.

God I hate speculation.

Bollocks it's all bullshit.
He may come, he may not.
Shanks is getting tired of all the rumours already.

Mexes has world class potential, but Fergie has stated the immediate need for more experience in the defence, so he will have to look elsewhere for that. He is certainly United class, but most would agree a more physical and experienced partner for Rio is needed; like Ayala or Thuram.
On the other hand Fergie has chased Mexes for years and he could be going for next to nothing because of the buy-out clause, so its a decent possiblity.
