Mole_Toonfan Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 And better than all of our strikers put together bar Cisse. Gouffran? I'd say so, but i do happen to underestimate Gouffran all the time Personally i don't want Gignac as i feel we can get better but if push comes to shove and there are no other options i would obviously take him as our need for a striker is obvious.

Guest Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Does make me laugh mind when I see people turning their noses up at people like Gignac & Bent. Our striking options since relegation have been shocking. Either would easily be our 4th best striker since 2009. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gignac has been nothing more than average since he's moved to OM and Bent wouldn't make a great partner for Cisse. Simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant 4th best striker we've had on our books after Carroll, Ba & Cisse. He'd be easily our 2nd best striker at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you mean 3rd best striker in the last 10 years, if so your wrong. If your talking about best 3rd striker, then I wont even bother to check if I agree.

Ronaldo Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Was I genuinely not clear enough? Sorry if I wasn't, like. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Obviously neither would be in the top 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our striking options since relegation have been shocking. Either would easily be our 4th best striker since 2009. Its hardly that black and white though, people are looking for a top class striker and think there might be better possibilities than Gignac (especially a the reported £12m), who's proven to be an average goal scorer even in the French league. I wouldn't turn my nose up at him for the right price, since I don't know enough about him as a player, but I see no problem in people having that view. As for Bent, not only is he about the worst option I can think of to play up front with Cisse he's also on his way down, headed to 30, and would apparently cost £8m with likely significant wages. If we're going to get him on the cheap (couple of million and a big wage cut) to replace Ameobi then fine. If we're looking at him as one of our main starters its fucking madness, so yeah I'll turn my nose up at that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Gouffran scored 22 league goals in his last 18 months in France, Gignac's managed that in 3 seasons. Gouffran's a really underrated striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 The offer for Gignac is huge, he's a good player but Marseille could sell him for half of this price, they can't afford to pay his wage et desperatly want to sell him. He's injury prone too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Even in our shit position I'm hoping for better than him, 22 league goals in 79 games is disgusting when you are t a top club in a weak league, especially at your peak age. Considering our current back-up striker is Shola Ameobi, he with all of 9 goals in his last 78 league games, it seems a little irrational to turn up your nose at a player like Gignac. Especially considering he scored 18 in all competitions last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
