Decky Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Kevin Keegan is ready to swoop for the new Didier Drogba - powerful St Etienne hitman Bafetimbi Gomis - in a stunning £12million splash for Newcastle United. Keegan is due to fly to France this weekend to give his final blessing to the move, set up by the new Toon spying team. St Etienne have already said no to a £7m offer from Bolton. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/2008/02/29/kev-s-baf-time-89520-20335457/ £12million seems like alot, he any good like?

vicente_14 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Says this on Wikipedia: In February 2008 the French football magazine L'Equipe stated that Paul Le Guen had been keeping tabs on the powerful striker during his time with Rangers, and as a result the current Rangers manager Walter Smith has also openly admitted his desire to sign Gomis in the summer. St-Étienne are holding out for a price of £3.3 million, negotiations are set to begin in the summer window. On Februrary 29, 2008 The Daily Mirror reported Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan was planning a £12 Million bid for Gomis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 http://www.asse.fr/index.php?page=detail_joueur&id=21&teamId=1 I thought it was an ugly woman at first! Still he is a good player - direct, pacy and aggressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 he's very raw, dodgy touch, gangly, awkward, but also strong, and fast. bit like a kenwyne jones type. scored a good goal at the weekend dribbling past a few players and hitting a shot right into the side netting. never worth £12m tho and i'd like us to buy a more outright creative striker with a bit of skill and guile, rather than a direct, battering ram type. as an alan smith replacement he'd be good.

Skirge Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Seems to like to shoot early, would be nice to see a Toon player have a dig instead of us trying to walk it in all the time, fast and strong too also very direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
