Optimistic Nut Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Gouffran will be cover for the left-forward and centre-forward too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Indeed that's what I see happening. Except Remy isn't left side. Perhaps it's one out of those 3 plus someone like Sinclair or Ince (or some unnamed player from abroad). I could see that happening. I wouldn't say i'd be happy with that but i'd not be upset particularly. I think it's the best we can hope for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Remy and Gomis are no brainers if the prices quoted are true. Under 8m for Remy, obviously sans being a rapist. 2 at the right age and right attributes at good combined price. stay away from bent at his stupid price. Keep Cisse. Sorted.

Ronaldo Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 £8m a stupid price for a proven PL goalscorer? There are decent Championship players that go for £8m now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 £8m a stupid price for a proven PL goalscorer? There are decent Championship players that go for £8m now. 8m for a 29 year old one trick pony. 6 at the absolute most is acceptable. If we get Bent we need others to make up for his lack of other ability. He ain't worth 8m. End of. No amount of puffed our chest Ronaldo posturing makes it any different.

healthyaddiction Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think he probably is worth £8m myself. But i'd prefer other options. If we lost Cisse though I think that Bent would be ideal. I think at that point someone who would be proven to score goals in the premier league would be really important. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheik The Room Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I think we are getting Gomis beacuse Villa won't budge on Bents price and Remy is the other forward we're trying to sign. I also think Bent will come in aswell if Cisse leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're so different in terms of style so I don't think Gignac is an alternative to Remy. More to Gomis in that case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 £8m a stupid price for a proven PL goalscorer? There are decent Championship players that go for £8m now. Are you seriously telling me you think Darren Bent's worth £8m? Maybe for the right club I suppose. I can see why Villa would want £8m, especially after paying £18m not so long ago. He's 29 sure, but Cisse is not far off that and I doubt we'd take less than £10m. Not that I'd want to pay £8m for Bent. Cisse is a much better player IMO.

toontownman Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Totally different type of player, so clearly not. He is a totally different player but he does also plays out wide left. We have a bid in, reported in several places that hasn't been denied yet either right? Depends on Pardews idea of what we need upfront. He seems to value strength, Power, Pace.. tricks and skills are secondary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 No, Im not an aficionado of French football.. I should have phrased it more of a question than a statement. I have read he plays wide left in several places. That said it was my fear he would be an alternative to Remy.. and I could see Pardew wanting a more physical approach to the skills of Remy. Having bids in for both Gignac and Gomis seemed to hint at that. Could also be a replacement for Cisse though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Unless Cisse leaves or is certain to leave I can't imagine Ashley will sanction us buying two additional forwards. I don't believe that we would bid for both Gignac and Gomis, there would be no point at all in buying both. Best case scenario is Cisse leaves (this appears inevitable so might as well get it over and done with) and is replaced by Gomis and Remy out of the players we have being linked with. None of the above is very appealing but would be better than almost certain relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's not a crazy price except for what I think a general feeling that Bent is outdated in his style right now, taking into account the english premium it's not a bonkers price, he's just not the solution imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
