4. Papiss Cisse (Newcastle)

Like Nikica Jelavic at Everton, Newcastle’s £9million January signing Papiss Cisse was one of the biggest starts of the second half of last season, scoring an incredible 13 goals in 14 matches, including one of the best goals ever seen in the Premier League against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This time he managed just 8 goals in 36 games, and looked well off the boil for much of the campaign, playing second fiddle to Demba Ba in the first half of the season, but still not looking at his best when made the focal point of the team following Ba’s departure to Chelsea in January. The 27-year-old is now wanted by Borussia Dortmund, and perhaps a move is what he needs to get his career back on track, as Newcastle had a poor season all-round this year.
