I would buy Cisse first.
It would be a brave man(or an agent of course) that would mark him as the new Pele, but there is a resembelance, and he comes from Pele's club Santos, where Pele is said to have seen him as a 15 year old of great potential.
In the decisive game of the brazilian championship he was the player that won it for Santos against a more experienced side. He set up two goals with typical trickery, and drew a penalty with a series of step-overs while running/baiting a defender, which he then converted. Can't argue with that performance from a 17year old. Not saying he's the new Pele, but I wouldn't feel bad about having him at OT eventually.
