Ketsbaia Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Gomis wants to come here, as seen on Instagram, but I guess Marseille would be even better. So, as he's happy to sign for us and Lyon HAVE to take money, I think this'll still happen. The two clubs will reach a compromise and Gomis will be ok with coming here, you'd think.

Guest Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Marseille would be a bit of a sideways step don't you think? He's played Champions League, etc already with Lyon, I don't think he'd achieve any more in France. He's at the age now where a move to England or Spain would be about right, it won't be with a top 6 club but we're the sort of club who'd give him first team football at a relatively good level.

sh74 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Surely if he waits and signs for OM next season he'll get a large signing on fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Al Jazeera are claiming Lyon have dropped their asking price and we're now ready to sort out the deal, the difference in money going to the agent. LINK PLS Personally, I'd prefer we just told the agent AND Gomis to go to hell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Also if this new tax in France does come in how can Marseille even offer him a competetive wage? They'd need to pay him £100,000 per week just to match £45,000 per week here after tax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Judging by tonight's game and the fact it sounds as if Pardew wants to play 4-4-2, he'd be a hugely useful addition. We had a good runner through the middle in Sissoko, he just needed someone ahead of him to play off, someone with consistent physical presence.

Ronaldo Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Pardew played Cisse on the wing. Remy will play LW at some point, no doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Pardew needs his head kicking in if he tries to play 4-4-2 with this squad. HBA is no right winger. Remy is no left winger. Especially how Pardew plays wingers, ie running back to cover the fullbacks all the time. However both Remy and HBA make great inside forwards in a 4-3-3. Anything else is suicide.

Ronaldo Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 What if we sign Gomis? Means no place for him or Cisse while a 3rd midfielder who doesn't deserve to be in the starting Xl gets a run out. 4-2-4 might be the best we can do if he signs.

We'd have some proper depth up front at least and he's a different type of forward to the ones we currently have. We'd have options to change things up a bit.

Means no place for him or Cisse while a 3rd midfielder who doesn't deserve to be in the starting Xl gets a run out. 4-2-4 might be the best we can do if he signs. We'll be wasting 2 very good players in Remy and HBA in order to accommodate 1 player. I don't see how that's good. If we're going to play 2 up top in a 4-4-2 (or 4-2-4, if if makes you feel better to call it that, but this is Pardew not Keegan), we need to sell Ben Arfa and replace him with 2 good wingers. Or play Jonas and Obertan on the wings, because terrifying as it is, they're the best 2 wingers we've got. Remy can play CF so he can go on the bench or displace one of Cisse or Gomis. If the reality of this post fills you with terror, then you can see why we need to play 4-3-3. If this post does not fill you with terror, then congratulations: You are Alan Pardew. Just stick HBA and Remy on the wings and tell yourself it'll be alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 HBA is a better winger than both of those two. He did well on the wing in the few games before the De Jong tackle, mainly on the left ahead of Jonas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
