PAPISS Cisse has come to the rescue of a Tyneside grass roots football club.

When Demba Ba’s deal with Chelsea was confirmed last week, the children in the Under-11s team at Grainger Park Boys’ Club in Newcastle’s West End were left gutted.

Not only had the Toon lost a star striker, but the children’s club was left facing playing the rest of the season with strips emblazoned with the Senegalese’s name.

But as news of the upset reached Newcastle United, the club came forward with the support of Papiss Cisse and offered to donate a new kit to the team.

Nicola McCabe, club secretary at Grainger Park, said: “Someone from Newcastle United just rang me up and said the club had seen the story in the paper and they would like to step in and replace the strips.

“They’d spoken to Papiss Cisse and he said he was very excited to be involved and was happy to have his name on the kits.

“He is also going to come and meet the kids and present them with the strips.”

The Under-11s were given the original Demba Ba strips by the Newcastle United Foundation and they were sponsored by Ba, meaning his name was printed on the arm of each shirt. The youngsters welcomed the donation with open arms last year, but said the pleasure subsided since news of Ba’s departure broke.

Now, instead of having to find funding to buy new strips, the team will soon be sporting their Cisse-branded shirts as well as finding a new home for the old ones.

Nicola said: “The kids will be so excited to meet Cisse.

“We’re also going to give the old strips to him so he can send them back to his country for children over there to use."

Always to good to see a happy story
 
Just read Coloccini has handed in a tranny! TBH im not that bothered, he's looked jaded all season (like 2009)!
We desperately need to replace Ba...in my view id love to see Carroll back. Graham would be a decent signing for me, but I think we need someone who could hold the ball up a little better.
With Arfa n Jonas out we have no real pace/quality on wings..accept Obertan, who only seems to play well from bench.

IMO weve got one of the best keepers in the league.
Obviously defence needs a overhaul.
Good midfield, but no strength in depth.
Forwards..what forwards?? Only Cisse springs to mind!

Ashley needs to pull his finger out (actually more like his fist), an give Pardew some £££ this transfer window!
We were extremely lucky last season with injuries, an being in europe hasnt exactly helped us this season, although so far been a good distraction :)

Players id like to see come in this transfer window..

James Tomkins
Michael Dawson
Tom Huddlestone
Adam Lallana
Jason Puncheon
Julian Draxler
Lazar Markovic
Rafal Wolski
Michu
Belhanda
Ronaldo
Messi

I know we wouldnt need anywhere near all these players...or in deed any of them would be interested...but would love to see some of these names in the black n white :)

Apparently Colo got some bird pregnant, so his wife has moved back to Argentina, and now he wants to move back there with her. Apparently.

If he leaves, and he probably will by the sound of things, we will need to bring in two CB's.. lame. As we also need a striker.. and some left back cover.. and some CM cover.. and a winger because Obertan is *****.

First time I hear about him getting anyone pregnant, but what I do know for sure is that his father got a job as DOF at San Lorenzo (the club Coloccini supports) and they've been trying to get him to return to Argentina. It has been all over argie media for over a month. Plus the club is now backed by a millionaire so he won't be losing much money if he does indeed come back.

I feel for you guys because I kinda like Newcastle, but honestly it'd be nice to see a quality player in Argentina for a change. Conference football is more attractive than our league.
 
That dont sound good...man we could of probs got £12-15 mill for him last summer! Now i think we'd be lucky to get £6 mill :(

Good thing is, we are playing well..well kind of lol. Hope Taylors back real soon..we need fighters right now
 
If Coloccini leaves then Newcastle will surely involve in relegation dog fight. They have lost their best stiker in Ba and Coloccini is without a doubt their best CB. Any player they bring in Jan might be risky as they might take time to settle in the team.

Btw when is Steven Taylor coming back?

LOL..well what i mean is, we do still create chances an make a fight for most games. Compared to when we got relegated last time, when we never really looked like we wanted to win! Sure Shearer brought a little fight in to them..but the players still looked miserable. Now at least there's an air of confidence an belief in the way we play (forgetting Brighton), at least goin forward.
I believe when we get Cabaye an Arfa back, we'd beable to actually take games to the opposition again..albeit in parts of a match (Cabaye's creativeness an Arfa's shock value lol).
 
Been confirmed by NUFC that Coloccini hasn't handed in a formal request-good job. If he did there would have been a gaping hole in CB
 
Colo please stay until the summer, keep us up and then you can go :)
 
I have been hearing these reports about Colo, wanting to leave. Is it only me who should think, we should let him go!??? I know colo is a rock in some what a leaky defense, but if your captain wants to leave then, he should leave. Has this could play vital in our chances of staying up!?
 
Good to see Cabaye back in action yesterday and also about Remy on the verge of signing for us. I am hopeful of some more signings in this transfer window in the area's lacking depth.
 
New CB for the love of god. Perch can't be allowed to play
 
Quite glad we aren't getting Remy. If he wants to move to QPR that obviously shows what kind of character he has.

Aye mate...££££ grabber!
Im not massive fan of his anyways, looked great prospect years ago..but think he'll do exactly the same as Chamakh :)

Though on the bright side, just read were after Patrick Aubameyang!!! Man what ive seen of him so far looks more than just a prospect, although i'll admit only seen him play for Gabon..but man he is ace! So friggin quick..would be nice to have a striker again, although i do love my CF!
Though whether or not he could handle the physical side of PL is another question...but i believe its a very good gamble, from what ive seen in the last two or three african nations cups!

Also read Milan after Krul an Santon...IMO dont sell for any amount! Especially Krul..he is priceless at this moment in time!
