Mole_Toonfan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Against Pacos he almost cost us two goals, and had time on the ball and still managed to be s**** on it. In the PL he doesn't have that. Unfortunately along with Anita he's the only option. Then we should get another option. Tiote is holding the team back, in terms of our ability to build attacks. I agree completely but unfortunatly we are getting nothing other than a striker so all our midfield fantasy's will have to be put on hold sadly.

LRD Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 There won't be any other targets beyond the 3 of them. If we miss out on them we will just wait til January and do with what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 There won't be any other targets beyond the 3 of them. If we miss out on them we will just wait til January and do with what we have. Point is there is still time to look elsewhere, two more weeks of chasing a lower fee for Gomis and there is less options. Carr will have lists of players we could go for, it doesn't just have to be one of these 3. I'd like to see Gomis come in, but not at the cost of signing no one this summer, I think the club will have other targets and if Lyon don't lower soon then we've got to go back to the list and start looking further down it.

TRon Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 If we can't get bent for £4-5m and or Gomis for £6m then we've got to move on, they aren't worth more than that on our budget. Move on to who? How many proven strikers are available within our budget? I would say we've done quite well to get three quality forwards identified who we could actually bring in at a reasonable price. Agreeing a fee for one of those three is pretty much the only way we'll be bringing in a forward IMO. Rather have hooper over bent, until today we could have made that deal work. Like said Remy fee is set, bent fee is close but I think we will go cold now Cisse is staying making Gomis our no 1 target and most difficult to bring in. If the financial package doesn't suit us we won't budge, we can't afford to start the season without another striker on board. I don't think they deserve much credit for identifying targets, that's the easy part especially when Carr does most of the hard work. I don't know anything about Hooper, but I prefer the policy of going for proven quality, and Bent is a proven goal scorer. I'm quite happy with the three strikers we've lined up on the whole, but would prefer Remy or Gomis to Bent. If it's a case of a couple of million to make the deal then we will need to do what it takes to get one over the line. Obviously we are still haggling at this point though which is inevitable.

Gamiero, maiga, Cisse, ba, erdinc....we got ba that summer and Cisse in the winter if I'm reading the timescale correctly. You don't know what else we had on that list as well, Carroll never stopped being a target, sure we were linked with another realistic one as well that summer.

LRD Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You know how this club works. We missed out on Debuchy and just conveniently fell back on what we have, hoping for more favourable terms in January or the following summer. Same thing happened with Luuk De Jong too. He rejected us and our plan B was to depend on Shola again. We are pretty darn stubborn on the targets we have. I highly doubt there will be a 4th option we will be keen to pursue.

There will be if all 3 fell through right now. I think we all know what the club is like, all I'm saying we still have a chance to change targets, that fades as the window goes on.

Jayson Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 In terms of negotiation it is actually far better for us to have a history of being stubborn like. At the start clubs will look to call your bluff, if they realise theres no bluff to call as we've shown previously that puts us in a much stronger position when a player wants to join us.

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Another thing that should be mentioned is if Pardew plans to pay with 2 striker like he said.... 1 don't need one new striker we need two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has got us some class deals, no arguing with that. The downside, obviously, is missing out on players we might need. Can't say I really disagree with the approach that much, better than being taken for a mug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Guess we will have to wait until Sunday as that seems to be the day news usually happens. God knows what we will have in store though and it is more likely to be a hasbeen to help JFK's very difficult work than a new signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
