Cisse actually wants to stay
Liverpool ace Djibril Cisse has poured cold water on reports suggesting he is unhappy at Anfield, insisting he wants to fight for his place.
France international Cisse has been used mainly as a right winger by manager Rafel Benitez this season and has often cut a forlorn figure on the Liverpool bench.
He was quoted on Friday as saying that if the situation did not imporve he would seek pastures new, with Marseille a possible destination when the transfer window reopens.
However Cisse has now stressed that he does see his long-term future on Merseyside.
He told the club's website: "I want to emphasize that I love being in England and at Liverpool - and I want to stay and fight for my place.
"I have said all along I don't want to go. I want to stay and I want to play. I had a very bad injury and it has taken a long time to overcome that. Now I feel ready to show the fans what I can really do.
"They have been great to me and I'd like to repay them. I enjoy myself here in Liverpool, I feel it is my home and I want my future to be here."

Great news!! he loves the club, and anyone who is producing teh goods, but is refused teh starting position should be unhappy. That is why Owen left Madrid, and Cisse has scored again, but he always comes on for teh last 10 minutes, and even then he's playing an unfamiliar position.
Crouch today played upfront with Owen, and Crouch was the stand out performer against Austria. His knock down to the 2nd forward won England a penalty. I sure hope benitez was watching.
** I do think Benitez can acheive success with the 4-5-1 formation, but not with out current setup, and watching these matches you can tell that our forwards are crying out for a 4-4-2. PLEASE RAFA PLEASE !! (sorry for rambling on, let's try and keep this focused on cisse not rafa)
"I get bored quickly and like to change things — except my wife!” - Cisse
We all dream of a team of Sissoko's!! All 15 of them !!
