Alan Pardew: "Cisse will bring single-minded goalscoring to the club.
"I don't think he is going to hesitate to shoot, so whether he starts or whether he comes off the bench on Sunday, you are going to see a directness from him.
"Not all the boys did the full training session, but they all stayed around and wanted to have a nose and see how he got on.
"I think he impressed one or two.
"The two guys coming in certainly will have buoyed everybody, and I know there will be a fantastic atmosphere at our place.
"Whether Cisse starts, whether Demba starts or whether they come off the bench, they are going to have an impact of some type, and I am looking forward to it.
"It's going to be a great day for us, hopefully.
"Everybody is pulling in the right direction here and everybody is putting a stint in, so it's great for me as the manager.
"I can almost pick any team and put them out there, and they are giving 100 per cent, and that's what you want.
"I was really, really pleased at Blackburn. It was a massive game for us.
"We had a lot of key players missing, and yet we still won, so I don't care what the criticism was - we didn't control the game, we didn't do this, we didn't do that - we won 2-0."
