Here is a quick collection of Djibril Cisse quotes from the last eight months:

July 2011: “I’m eager to test myself against Europe’s top defences… I’m here at Lazio to win my France squad place back.”

January 24, 2012: “I’m in a great city [Roma] and with a great club. As for goals (one in just 18 Serie A games), well, it’s a little hard but I will continue to fight. It is hard to prove yourself when you play only 15 or 20 minutes… So far I have had eight assists, which is not bad, but people know me as an out-and-out striker… To have 94 goals in Ligue 1, I am only missing a few more to get to 100, so it’s stupid to stop a few goals from this point. Marseille and Auxerre? These are two clubs that I love but I want to finish Auxerre since I started there.”

January 31, 2012: “[QPR] is a good project. When I talked to the coach, the things that he had to offer me… I was really happy and I agreed straight away… Hughes wants to take the team very high, and I’m up for it.”
