Belfast Mags Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Out of all the names linked, if Aubameyang is staying then my personal preference is Siem De Jong tbh. Gouffran is a very meh link and Gomis is a target man and i want to stay as far away from long ball as humanly possible. Just watched his YouTube highlights and he certainly knows where the goal is (Siem de Jong) Would be delighted if he signed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 He can, but from what I've seen off him I think he's better in the #10 role. Since we're suddenly being linked back to earlier targets, why aren't there any talks about Gameiro? Not that he can wing it, but still decent and I think a better finisher than Auben. Might not be AS quick as him, but if you can actually finish when you get to the goal it's a bigass plus. Auben kinda reminds of Walcott in his early days, shots flying everywhere. Another thing I still don't understand is why we're so glued to France and L1, I'm fully aware of the good name we have and whatnot, but are we targeting players to improve us or only because we have a name there? It's just as Wenger stated earlier, the Germans and Spaniards are much better in the youth divisions atm. And there are shitloads of players to pick from if we look to Bundesliga and Liga BBVA. Ridic that we ain't linked with some. Oh, and if we're first breaking bank as alot of links states, where is the link to Belhanda?!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Can de Jong play upfront? Think he could, but would be better in the number 10 role Basically sums him up, his style is a lot like Rooney's he can be the lone striker but honestly is best behind the main striker threading passes through to the main striker and has very good off the ball movement. Not sure if the link to him is legit or not but out of all the names left i think i'd prefer him out of the lot. Although he's not the player Pardew described when he talked about power, pace and threat from corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is it really Pards want, I'm still not sure. I'm actually thinking he wants to play a flat 442 and keep HBA at bay on the wing, which is kinda ludacris imo.

thorin Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We better actually focus on places where we need to strengthen instead of places where we actually have backup. It's mentioned that we're looking for 3-4 players in, which can strengthen from the get-go. Should def. be a winger, a central midfielder (box-2-box) and high quality CB. WTF are we supposed to do with another wingback in this window? RETARDED!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you though, Germany and Spain have a lot to offer, shame we aren't making more inroads there. Still baffles me why we haven't targeted South America for some youth players, given the state of the game out there financially, surely a couple of cheap punts would be worth a gamble.

Remy, Aubameyang and Gomis are all those things tbh, although Aubameyang and Remy are move about movement and spring while Gomis is about strength and dominance. Only difference being Gomis is simply incapable of playing out wide because he lacks ability on the ball in comparison, i personally would go a different route and go for De Jong personally. All the other links don't inspire we confidence while De Jong would at least excite me in what he would bring to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I really hope we don't just buy a big physical centre forward like, would leave us in exactly the same quandary we've been in all season. Obviously if it's that or nothing I'll take that like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorin Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 True story KDT, I'm so friggin amazed we still haven't got into Zaha and Ince, I really don't care if we actually "miss" out, but we're not even in the friggin mix.

It just hurts everywhere to see that we're not even trying. I just don't get the Ince hype. Blackpool have been on the telly loads over the last year or so and he always struck me as being the classic over-hyped English player (even more so by the media, due to who his father is). It will be interesting to see how he progresses/developes in the coming years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If Ashley was really serious about backing Pards and getting us out of this miss while giving us a platform to build from for next year then we could do a lot worse than looking at Ince. Especially if we are looking at De Jong as it would open up a wide spot, not to mention he can actually take people on so we probably wouldn't miss Hatem as much as we do at the moment. I would have much more confidence in Ince providing what Hatem provides than Obertan, Jonas etc etc obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 IF it allowed us to create enough chances, I'd rather we played 4-4-2. This to be honest, I hate 4-4-2 because pardew can't get his players to play in it without smashing the ball 40yards but right now, anything that helps us stay up will do. Plus if we could actually sign De Jong, he could play off Cisse and help the midfield link to Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
