Mole_Toonfan Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Same place Bent would, fighting for a starting spot with Cisse. Bent has the pace and PL experience to do it, though. Gomis is quick, pace won't be an issue. PL experience is neither here nor there. I'd rather have a better quality of player and a player who provides things we don't have.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 If Papiss stays and we get Remy, we'd really be better off with a young striker to compete for the central position. No, we'd be better off with proven players. Maybe, depending on who they are. My main worry with signing someone like Bent is that we'll end up playing 442, which really doesn't suit our personnel.

I think Gomis can offer us more though in terms of fitting into the team and playing with Cisse if we go 4-4-2, however it is a gamble and we would have the obligatory Pardew bedding in period where he refuses to play him even when he looks better than the players he starts.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have no issues with Bent as a player, i just think Gomis strengths and skill set in general is something we desperately need and he would compliment Cisse more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Well, I've only seen Gomis a couple of times properly but he didn't strike me as being particularly quick. I'll defer to the experts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I wouldn't care myself an expert But he has enough pace off the ball to make runs off defenders to be a threat, on the ball he isn't particularly quick no. Its not that so much though; i just think we are desperate for a target who can hold the ball up, force defenders back, link play with those around him. Obviously goals too, but all our targets can provide that so its not here nor there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Assuming we got Remy, I'd rather Gomis come in than Bent. Probably wouldn't matter either way, but Gomis can give us something else while Bent is practically the same as Cisse. Would be nice to have 3/4 attacking options all with their own styles.

Revolution Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Gomis is not especially quick. More about his strength and off the ball movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 People really don't have a problem with signing Remy? Even if you ignore the pending Rape Case (which should completely rule out this signing) this is still a guy who publicly turned us down for QPR only a few months ago. I'd rather have someone else.

Ronaldo Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 There's usually no target in the first place, let alone a 'someone else' mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Gomis is not especially quick. More about his strength and off the ball movement. I never said he was especially quick, more that his pace won't be an issue.... he can move quite well for a big guy and isn't slow at all. Can move at more than a decent pace once he gets going. I was referring to a comparison with Bent, but anyway yeah it is more about his movement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillClinton Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 There's usually no target in the first place, let alone a 'someone else' mate. That's what makes it even more annoying. Having to talk ourselves into this guy when we should have plenty of other targets out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Would take him if we got Gomis and Remy, on a 1 or 2 yr deal. Better than Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
