Now that we've missed out on Gomis, does that mean we're going to count on the following players as our main outlet of goals:
- Gouffran, whose striking instinct has been taken out of him due to Pardew's insistence on turning him into a winger;
- Cisse, who is currently injured and his current confidence/motivation to play is shot to bits;
- Armstrong, who is untested so we don't know whether he will reach the appropriate heights;
- Ayoze, who is an unknown quality and we just don't know if he'll adapt to this league or be given time to adapt.
A disconcerting season awaits...doomed is a rather apt description but that could be for the good for the club maybe?
