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.

Hang on, his pace has let to 2 goals being scored from rebounds since he signed 2 months ago. I'm talking about creating chances for Cisse - ie taking adavntage of his movement around the box. Neither Gouffran nor Jonas will give him anything near the service he deserves. Which is why we're consistently not troubling keepers away from home and the lad looks supremely pissed off.

Unbelievable Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Maybe a striker who's completely reliant on service from others is a luxury we can't afford, just a thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Ronaldos spot on about the Cisse thing, he's been starved of chances, that's when he hasn't been on the wing. He only gets the odd chance in a game, its no wonder he wasn't scoring. We desperately need at least one other striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 If what you're saying is true about being starved for chances, we don't need another striker in the same mould at all, we would need a creative player who is also capable of chipping in with a fair number of goals and play as a centre forward if required, or we would just be looking at the same problem, possibly worsened by the temptation to play both up top. Not that I believe that Cisse's disappointing season can solely be attributed to a lack of service of course. For some reason, his chance conversion rate this season is nowhere to what it was last season. Maybe he is also getting fewer chances, but when he gets one he generally snatches at it way too much. Anyway, he has been scoring more as of late, so I hope he continues in this vein and this sorry season can quickly be forgotten about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 we need a fit ben arfa, him plus sissoko we'll score a bagful if pardew doesn't insist on playing like newcastle falcons hopefully carr has identified a young striker as i don't think we should be spaffing a massive chunk of our wad on a 'name' unless they're comfortable out wide and down the middle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I love moronic transfer rumours that can't even get basics like Steve Stone being a coach and looking at newcastle players who are on loan at St.Mirren http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-transfer-news-celtics-centre-half-1795628?
