This doesn't sounds too good, especially the way he said "However I would not be surprised if the manager says I have to go. It is his choice, maybe they do not need me."
From Team Talk:
Cisse keen to stay at Anfield
Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse wants to stay at the club until the end of his contract even though Michael Owen has expressed a wish to return to Anfield.
Owen has asked Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to help him try to return to Liverpool but has said if that is not possible he would go to Newcastle on a year's loan.
Under-pressure Cisse was hauled off during the Champions League third qualifying round second leg clash against CSKA Sofia, which Liverpool lost on the night but went through 3-2 on aggregate.
The pressure has clearly got to Cisse, who said: "Sometimes you are high, sometimes you are low. I have to live with it, it's part of a football career. But I do not have contact with other clubs. However I would not be surprised if the manager says I have to go. It is his choice, maybe they do not need me."
Cisse, who has just married a Liverpool girl and has bought a Cheshire mansion, made it clear he does not want to leave.
He added: "Liverpool is my club. I am here for four more seasons and I want to be here until the end of my contract. I feel good here and I do not want to go. It is my second season, I have had some difficult times, and not every time is good, but now I feel strong. If I have to go, I go, but I would like to stay. I want to show to the people I can do well for Liverpool."
