prefabtoon Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Who Is Bafetimbi Gomis? In a Summer of nothingness came a few whispers that we may sign a player after all. As we speak, a fee has allegedly been agreed for one and as Newcastle United fans, we know that there is still plenty of time for the usual 'cocking' up of deal to happen or the usual trick of changing our 'accepted' offer for a lower one in order to scupper a deal. In what's known around here as pretending to bid for players. Kevin Keegan's words, not mine. Regardless, we may yet end up with a bloke who is supposedly a decent player and with a nickname of 'Baby Drogba', he certainly comes recommended, so who is he? Well, he was born, Bafétimbi Fredius Gomis in France, where else, in August 1985. This makes him 27 years old, although he's got a birthday on Tuesday, so scrub that. A 28 year old striker. Some would say at the peak years of his game. A French international striker with a 1 in 3 strike rate for clubs of the calibre of Lyon, Troyes and St Etienne. A 1 in 3 rate or the French national side as well. He holds the record for the fastest Champions League Hattrick or did, the last time I checked, so apologies if this bit is wrong. As ever, we wait and see if we can get this over the line, that's if the 'line' still exists.

Cisse was never offside as much as people claim.... anyway what is wrong with being offside? it shows you are looking to get in behind a defence and create a chance. I hate stats like this, if these stats were around during the Bellamy days people would be bitching about Bellamy 24/7 as he was offside constantly. No one cared though as if he was offside 5 times out of 6 runs one of those runs would lead to a goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We ended up paying a canny bit for him. It's not my money so I don't care, but I reckon had the realised earlier how expensive he would have been we would have went for someone better.

LRD Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Come on. You know it's bad when he doesn't even look across the last line of defence man. The way Ba kept trying to pull ahead of Cisse to get him onside, only for the latter to keep running. What he needs is a proper understanding with someone like Ben Arfa watching his runs and releasing the ball first time to him. The guy's all about instinct so someone needs to have the vision for him not to get offside in that split second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree but it has been overplayed, it doesn't happen anywhere near as much as people make out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
