merlin Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Saw him once playing for France - underwhelmed frankly, looked a bit cumbersome but probably the best NUFC can get in his position. Upgrade on Shola but will not get as many goals as Cisse would in a better organized side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 If Shola is one level and Drogba is another I think it is fair to say Gomis is somewhere inbetween. that's quite a range Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 He's not that good tbh. still beats playing Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Hopefully at the end of this summers transfer saga we have strikers that can actually play along with other players, or even together with other strikers. (Hopefully with Cisse still here). Edit: With Gomis mainly playing up top alone, that might be hard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The fact is we need strikers. At the moment we have Cisse (who is unlikely to play for us again), Gouffran, Shola (who rarely scores goals) and Campbell (who should go out on loan to see if he's good enough before we start relying on him). Apart from his stats I don't know how good Gomis is but he must be a big improvement on our current meagre striking options. We need competition up front. Cisse was poor for a large part of last season but he played just about every game as the only alternative was Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I'd be very happy with Remy-Gomis-Hatem as a front three. Problem is, assuming Cisse is off, only Gouffran is adequate cover so we'd still be short of upgrades on Shola and Obertan: We could also really do with some goals from midfield. If Cabaye went, I'd love to see us buy a box to box midfielder to play with Sissoko in front of Anita. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 From what I've seen he has pace, power and is comfortable striking the ball with both feet. 45 goals in his last 2 seasons is impressive. Would be a good addition alright, only concern is him + Remy/Bent would mean Cisse is a goner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Newcastle United table offer for Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis NEWCASTLE UNITED have firmed up their interest in Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis by launching a bid for him. By: Charles PerrinPublished: Mon, July 22, 2013 The 27-year-old frontman was in electric form last season and turned the heads of another Premier League outfits following his impressive performances domestically and in the Europa League. The Magpies are looking to ameliorate their attacking options and have also been linked with out-of-favour Aston Villa striker Darren Bent. With Papiss Cisse tipped to leave after his refusal to wear the club's shirt, which is sponsored by payday company Wonga, Gomis, who has been likened to Didier Drogba is on Alan Pardew's agenda. According to the Newcastle Chronicle, United are yet to sit down with Gomis or his representatives to discuss personal terms, but are hopeful of making a breakthrough in the next few days. They also report the Magpies could land the French international for a knockdown fee. United had also been eyeing up a move for Benfica's Oscar Cardozo, but Turkish outfit Fenerbahce are thought to be the only side willing to meet his £13m price fee. Gomis hit 18 goals in all competitions for Lyon last season. Meanwhile, Mick Harford has confirmed that he has turned down an offer to work as Joe Kinnear's assistant. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/416634/Newcastle-United-table-offer-for-Lyon-striker-Bafetimbi-Gomis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Has there been any firm mention of a realistic fee anywhere? I'm guessing the £4m is rubbish? But not as rubbish as the €4m? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been all quiet since the Chronicle announced it. Only thing I can find of recent is that Marseille might be interested too but only if they shift Gignac.
