He's got great pace, power and movement and that's something we will hopefully benefit from. He's scored goals wherever he's played. Former Sunderland and Liverpool player Cisse added: "When I talked to the manager, he spoke highly of the club and where he wants to take it over the next few years.
The English league is the best in the world. It is the league that suits me the most. Cisse is best known in England for his three seasons at Liverpool. However, the France international then suffered an horrific leg break that threatened to end his career. Cisse netted 37 in 78 in total for Marseille, and 11 in 38 while on loan at the Black Cats.
Following the rejection of Sunderland to take up their permanent transfer option on Djibril Cisse, he made the move South instead to join Greek Superleague outfit Panathinaikos. Initially things went well for Cisse, as he became a fan favourite and scored goals for fun, actually finishing as top scorer in the Superleague in both of the campaigns he played there.
Panathinaikos won the League and Cup double in Cisse's first season, , as he plundered 23 goals in just 28 games in the league. The following season, however, things started to go downhill, as Cisse claimed he had been racially abused by his own fans, and several of his teammates were struck by supporters following a defeat to rivals Olympiacos.
Cisse still ended the season as top scorer in the Superleague with 20 goals, six clear of his nearest rival. Things started off well for Cisse, who wore the No.

He is sufficiently experienced in English football that he will be able to bed straight in and be a first team player, while he will also have something to prove having not quite hit the heights in terms of goalscoring in his previous two stints in the Premier League.
QPR will need all of those attributes combined to come to the fore to rescue them from their precarious position—but Cisse is definitely capable of delivering and will be raring to show his true form again.

But to describe this as City's biggest game in years is to tell half the story.
Rangers themselves are playing for Premier League safety. After looking finished, five straight home wins leave them two points clear of Bolton Wanderers. Survival is in their own hands. It's something I relish. With so much at stake, Rangers are not just underdogs. They have important work to do. The pressure is going to be on both teams. We play for our future and the club's future.
But there is a personal account to be settled too. Yes, he has scored five goals.
