Cajun Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I do NOT wish to see HBA in a 4-4-2!! I'd just like to see him consistently on the pitch tbh although I would prefer him in a more free role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Imagine going into the season with Cisse, Gomis, Remy and Gouff man Trying to predict how it all goes to s***. Watching Shola slow motion fall while Gomis picks his teeth on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I don't get it, options with Gomis? He's just a slower Cisse... if we had provided Cisse with enough chances last year everything woulda been fine. Cisse will be starting 99% of the matches and for that ridic sub we have Ameobi. Get in some wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not from my POV, as he's usually used as a single striker - the same as Cisse, and since Cisse will be starting I don't get why they would wanna use £8 mill on someone to fill the bench. Moving Cisse to a flank would be disaster as proven before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 A slower Cisse doesn't sound too bad, at least he will be caught offside less as he blindly just runs off towards the goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Really wish I knew more about Gomis but nothing I've heard about him convinces me he'd be a better option than Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Really wish I knew more about Gomis but nothing I've heard about him convinces me he'd be a better option than Bent. Plenty does for me, he's a more imposing physical presence for a start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Don't think we need a 'real winger' option as there is no way in hell we should be playing in a formation that requires any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty does for me, he's a more imposing physical presence for a start. In France he is, says very little about how he'll do over here. He's also apparently a lot slower and less of a goal threat.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Gomis is no slouch, he's not as quick as Bent but he's not slow either. Much better footballer and far stronger however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Gomis a slow version of Cisse?? Not only is he a different kind of striker to Cisse, but he's also not slower. Thorin, just because they both tend to play up front alone that doesn't make them the same kind of strikers. One is a poacher, the other is a target man who brings others into play, they're both goal scorers of course. They're two different players, which is why they'd give us different options.

Ronaldo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 It would cost around £300,000 to accomplish that, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Even if he doesn't start every week he will provide genuine competition to Cisse. Lets just say we plan to play Remy and Hatem either side of a central striker, both Cisse and Gomis will be in heavy competition and likely will never shut the other one out. This is what competition is all about and we never had it last season. I for one would not complain about that at all, about f*cking time would be my response.

Ronaldo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Gomis would lose that battle big time from what I've heard and looking at his record, like. Just saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Even if he isn't as good a player as Cisse he still might be a better option against certain teams or in certain setups. It'd be the first time in years we'll even have a choice like that to make if it comes off so fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Gomis would lose that battle big time from what I've heard and looking at his record, like. Just saying. Perhaps but even so, someone from Cisse, Remy and Gomis is going to be on the bench at any one game. All 3 of them are not going to play and lets say if we look at it like this.... Gomis or Cisse and Remy or Gouffran you finally have strength in depth. Going from Shola and Campbell( no offense to the lad but he's not ready yet) to Gomis and Remy is pretty good.

Ronaldo Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 For me, Cisse is easily a 1 in 2 striker in between HBA and Remy with Sissoko just behind. He'll never get dropped unless his leg's hanging off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse, Remy, Gouffran and Gomis/Bent is a great selection of strikers. No matter what system Pardew wants to use we have options who can all score goals.
