Ryan Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 No doubt we'll be linked with Saivet a canny bit if he hasn't renewed by January. Mame Biram Diouf would be a decent shout, he's got a 1 in 2 goal ratio in Germany although I'm not sure that we're aware of players outside of France.

Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I don't think there'll be any fresh links. Reckon we'll get Gomis in the first week and that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 We've been watching him for ages, we're 95% of the way to getting him, and we do have previous of going back in the January if we've just missed out on someone with Debuchy and Maiga (failed medical). Can't see us passing this one up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyn davies Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 not sure if been mentioned but this was talked about on BT Sport last night prior to the Genoa / Sampdoria game, the french pundit on the programme stated that this was a definite go'er all signed sealed and delivered apart from his agents who wouldn't drop their cut.

Ikon Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Sorry, probably not worthy of a bump, but Aulas has confirmed that Lyon have received several offers for Gomis recently. I can see this dragging on for a while if we are in for him. We will probably offer peanuts while other clubs like West Ham will offer stupid money despite him being out of contract soon. I can imagine that he'd want to play for us. He'd be all but guaranteed a first team place over here as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Aulas and his agent seem to just constantly make their mouths go. I'm not worrying about this one until he's posing outside the training ground. I just hope that we have other targets in mind as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 He will change his mind in a few weeks, Aulas talks utter bollocks no doubt he will go but it will be a huge circus until its done. The Hammers are sniffing around and will no doubt offer him more money than we do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Any Frenchman worth his garlic on the verge of the French squad for the WC would see Newcastle as a great option for January. All the eyes of France are on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 If we sign him it makes you wonder if we're actually bothered about the 'not enough English players' thing, save for a few empty comments.

The Hammers are desperate for a striker and Fat Sam is always looking to pick the crumbs off our table (Mobido Maiga ) but if he goes there for the money they are welcome to him.

Not that I'm overly arsed about the issue. Over priced less ability English players, FA cry on that our national team suffers due to all the foreign signings but when any club with a talented young English kid want stupid money maybe the FA should look at that as a issue. Or the big money clubs who buy them then don't use them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Aulas has Kinnear levels of delusion. Gomis has shown he is darn selective about his next club and with his contract ending in the summer, the ball is firmly in the player's court. Unless he is keen on West Ham and they pay up the 7m Aulas wants of course. If our interest in Gomis is still there, I can see us employing the same trick of signing a pre-contract then offering a low sum for a January transfer as we did for Gouffran and Sissoko. But yeah, Aulas is a madman and I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes any boundaries to the limits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
