toontownman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The french raid starts, Gameiro, Gervinho (french club), Menez and the return of the prodigal Zog. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Nothing but trouble with the French usually. don't want him. aye he'll fuck off in a year in a big huff like most of the French players we've had Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Im not sure. Said it before, say it again. He looks alarmingly like a new Guivarc´h. Doesn´t seem to have any stand out abilities. Not sure he can handle the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Just admitting the fact I've never seen him play or know what he looks like. Purely going by the reactions on here he looks like he could do a job though. I've watched him twice this season and he scored 5 goals in those 2 games. He's obviously a good player from his record but I know absolutely nothing about him. Just being honest. Ditto. Go on youtube. Find a compilation of him. Post a douchey "Welcome to Newcastle" comment. Sit back and wait for flaming from fans of other clubs. Simples. I just looked at one of his yt videos. 3 of the top 4 comments.. Welcome to Valencia Welcome to Arsenal Welcome to Newcastle Apparently we're just going to share him around. 95 goals a season. Divided by 3. 31.666666666666666666666666666667 Still decent like. That .666666666666666666666666666667 of a goal against Sunderland was class like. That the one where his shot hit sholas arse and went through the keepers legs?

Guest WisconsinMagpie Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Gameiro's small but quick as you please and a marksman. Not to say we-typed-you-so, but he's been near the top of our site's NUFC summer target list for several weeks, thanks to my obsessive co-blogger Tom (DairylandMag here) whose knowledge base of football players is vast (though he would be too modest to tell you that). We have a link to a nice YT highlight reel on Gameiro - try to watch it without your heart rate rising a little. http://www.newcastleunited.us/2011/05/building-a-better-newcastle.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Seems to have a good scoring touch to compensate his lack of physical presence, according to the youtube. Does he contribute a lot during team play like Bellamy? Would not worth the price if he's just good at scoring 1 on 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Fuck, I can't help not thinking about potential lineups involving Gameiro, Rondon, Ben Arfa and the Zog. This summer transfer window will be a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Seems we are aiming high in any case. Whether he arrives is another story, but you can only try. well time for trademark negativity - "trying" for me doesn't involve slapping in a bid everyone in the known universe knows won't be accepted (if indeed it's happened) if he's our first choice we have behave accordingly now and go on and push for the extra mile before others get a sniff, not just sit trying to lowball them to death hoping no-one will come in with a higher bid then bemoaning our luck when that happens he's highly rated enough that clubs like spurs will think nothing of spending 10-15 gbp on him in a heartbeat imo prove me wrong ashley, please prove me wrong that you're an absolute cunt and will never change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to me this feels like a good strong bid for a player who is a challenge but within reach. Gameiro's still young, he's an unknown commodity once he gets outside France, and a club like Spurs may look elsewhere for a slightly more proven player or bigger name. The question with him has been Spain. But there may not be a fit in Spain. I hate to say it for fear of jinxing it, but this has intelligence written on it.

oldtype Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 10 mil is hardly a derogatory bid that won't even be considered. Seems to me that we're trying to get the jump on him by expressing concrete interest before anyone else does, which is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that we're trying to get the jump on him by expressing concrete interest before anyone else does, which is a good thing. that's obvious given the timing surely, the question is what next and when from our side? he's scored 20 this season in a small team and has about than 1 in 2 for Lorient, 10m euro isn't derogatory but it's not going to be accepted let's face it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WisconsinMagpie Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 €6M was the rejected bid in January. Lorient was said to be requesting €8-10M. His stock may have risen since but if the report is accurate €10M would seem at least respectable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 i guess i might be wide of the mark here then, was expecting him to go for more than that as strikers are at a premium as always get oooooooon fat mike, sort it oooooot! 10m euro's, job done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Im not sure. Said it before, say it again. He looks alarmingly like a new Guivarc´h. Doesn´t seem to have any stand out abilities. Not sure he can handle the PL. He's technically brilliant. In the right set up, he'd make a superb PL striker. That might be, but if you youtube Gameiro and Guivarc´h, they are pretty similar in style. Just hope we don´t put all our eggs in this one basket, as he is far from guaranteed to be a good striker in the PL based on the physical attributes a successful PL striker usually has.

Kaizero Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 To be honest, I'd only want him if he wants us, and by all accounts he doesn't share the same affinity for us as we apparently do for him. Talented or not, I'd not want a player that didn't want us. (Read: another Owen) If he does want us, well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Kevin Gameiro 2011 HD The New French Weapon on a well known site some fucking great finishes there like, disagree he looks exactly like Guivarc´h, he's much much faster and direct it'd be an interesting first move in the market and would suggest to me our style of play is going to change - based on this Gameiro looks to play in behind the defence (off the shoulder) with pace with the ball into space a lot of the time rather than to feet, suggests they see him and HBA perhaps linking up very well and also Barton's quality delivery being able to find him the space he needs if we get him i like it as a first move, nothing to necessarily say we have to go back to a Carroll style game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DairylandMag Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've seen Gameiro a few times this season. Lorient play on an artificial surface, which is weird, but they play some pretty tidy stuff (Yoann Gourcuff's dad is their manager). He's a very good finisher with either foot, fast and comes back into midfield to help link play. I haven't seen him play alongside a target forward, so I can only imagine what he'd do next to the beast that is Shola. Obviously the biggest test is whether he can handle the physical nature of the EPL, but I feel like there were similar questions about Suarez.
