Newcastle boss Pardew: We must buy strike-partner for Cisse

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew says he wants to sign a partner for Papiss Cisse.

Cisse's Wonga row with the club is now over and he will be staying this season.

Pardew said: "Papiss can play a big role for us this coming season, and I fully expect him to kick on and make a positive contribution. He was a little bit isolated at times last season, on his own up front, but if he can get a relationship going with whoever might be alongside him, I can see him thriving."
