EXCLUSIVE: CISSE JOINS MARSEILLE ON LOAN

Marseille make loan swoop for Cisse

Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse has agreed a loan move to Marseille next season, despite being ruled out of action for at least five months.

Cisse is under contract with Liverpool until 2009 but was set to be sold off by Rafael Benitez before he broke his right tibia in France's World Cup warm-up match against China.

After being ruled out of action for at least five months, any move away from Anfield was deemed unlikely, but French daily L'Equipe understands the two clubs have agreed terms on a loan switch.

The 24-year-old striker, who scored 18 goals for Liverpool last season, has accepted a salary cut as part of the loan, the report said, adding that he has long wanted to play for Marseille.

So it seems it's gone ahead as a loan deal, I suppose Marseille would look to make it permanent if Cisse's recovery is a success. I'm surprised though considering his leg is seriously fucked...it must show his determination to escape Liverpool...good on him!

Good deal for everyone involved, Liverpool get rid of Cisse for a while but when he comes back he will have had some good first team experience, if not then hey, loan becomes permanent.

Cisse has looked poor and I can't believe he managed 18 goals last season, I'm honestly very shocked! But as was said if he's really that keen on leaving the 'pool then he's gone the right way about it.

Who pays money for a guy with a broken leg? He was shit before he got his leg broken, and now there's no guarantee he'll ever play again.

Frenchies, pssh.
