Guest Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Some PR guff along the lines of he wanted to play under Harry because he'd been tracking him for ages, but has been impressed with our January signings and vision might help his cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Some PR guff along the lines of he wanted to play under Harry because he'd been tracking him for ages, but has been impressed with our January signings and vision might help his cause. Would be a PR gaff then as he said the only reason was because Fernandes played FIFA with him and when Harry went to Marseille to talk to him he snubbed him. He joined for one reason and one reason only $$$ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 If we can get him for nothing it's a no brainer imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I hope we don't go back in for him, like. He may well be a good player but: A) he gets injured a lot already, so god knows how long he'd spend on the treatment table here and B) he chose QPR and the money over us. I'm still bitter. Me too. He's also overrated and I get the impression we didn't do a very thorough character check on him (judging by a few stories I read in the French press).

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Will be interesting to see where we can realistically upgrade our first XI this summer on the budget we normally spend? Centre-back & left-wing/left-forward maybe? Possibly a natural left-footed if he decides to move Santon on or if Santon pushes for a move back home, other than that though, I think we're well set. Consensus in the media seems to be striker,winger and CB to replace Colo. I don't see an urgent need for anything else tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Be over the moon with replacements for Colo and Jonas and a backup striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Imo we need a winger, forward and replacement for Colo. Then we could do with Bigiramana/Haidara type. Although that's probably a bit too much to ask, especially with Haidara who could probably stake his claim as a first team player already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Is he that much different to Gouffran? I like the Gouff Remy is much more of a goalscorer than Gouffran it would appear. I've only ever seen Gouffran play fr us, though. No idea about his past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Dawg UK Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 problem is Remy has proved he can score in the PL... There is likely to be more interest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Gouffran has been widely described as a finisher who can work the channels. Most of the time for us he's well inside his own half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Think we need an upgrade on Cisse personally. He's unreliable. Hopefully he can show more between now and the end of the season as going off this one he's not good enough to lead the line and be our main goal threat.

Tiresias Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Gouffran can play centrally too can't he? If we have another winger can see him moving inside to challenge Cisse for his place, haven't seen enough of his finishing mind. Disagree about replacing Cisse mind, another option would be great but still think if he'd had better service for most the season his goal scoring record would have been nothing to complain about, a different type to give another option (not carroll) would be nice tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Cisse scores when he gets good service. We need to replace the rubbish that consistently let him down first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Some of his attempts in front of goal this season have been embarrassing, chances on a fucking plate as well, then he'll blast one in the top corner from 25 yards. Like I say he's unreliable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Everyone knows we need a striker, i don't think it matters who as long as he's considered good enough. Although i would prefer one who could play wide as i'm not sure i trust Pardew to rotate the striker in question and Cisse properly. That Ba and Cisse 4-4-2 shit was an utter farce and cannot be repeated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say he's unreliable. It's amazing that he's actually found himself in the position to miss them given the total absence of crosses and balls in behind. His record since we partially fixed the isolation problem with Sissoko and Gouffran speaks for itself and will only get better when Jonas is finally benched.

You're correct when you say Gouffran is too far back too often, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
