Greg Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm going to put my neck on the line and say he won't get us 10-15 games a season Is he injury prone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thought this one would be right up our street this month. Given that he looks likely to cost around £7.5m less than our original target do people hold out any hope that we may be looking to supplement his arrival with another attacking player? Or has the money been put towards targets in other areas now? I'm leaning towards the latter given Pardew's comments in the press a few weeks ago, but I live in eternal hope as always. Even if it's just a player like Thauvin coming in (who perhaps wouldn't have been bothered with otherwise) I think I'd be happy enough, although someone in the Payet mould - yep I'm gonna keep banging that drum - would be marvelous.

Nah. This guy in, keep the Remy money for the summer. Whether that will be enough, I dunno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Good, versatile player that would probably grab us 10-15 goals a season. Would be delighted with him.... especially if we get him for the quoted price. (1-3m or so, it seems.) He's a vast improvement on Shola and Ranger. Really? Got to wonder why the price is seemingly so low then, irrespective of the contract situation. Others should be in for him, surely. 12 goals in 27 starts is not bad. (I think he got similar amount last season.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is this lad a good foil for Cisse? Usually play out wide or what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just went on his Wiki page. I genuinely thought the allergic to grass comments were due to a poor record with injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is this lad a good foil for Cisse? Usually play out wide or what? He should be in theory, another winger/forward and naturally would be a massive improvement to Jonas and Obertan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is this lad a good foil for Cisse? Usually play out wide or what? I think he does usually play out wide yes. Scored something like 14 in 35 last season Rich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Get him in tomorrow, just Ashley's style to try and get the club doctor to do 3 for the price of 2 on medicals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Not Ba's replacement if he comes, hopefully. A much needed squad player though. At the price quoted it is an absolute no brainer of a deal. Light years ahead of anything we have (after Cisse). I think we are looking to get him in then gambling that we can get a much better price on our Ba replacement.. if not we wait until the summer. Cant actually believe we are haggling of 250k.. surely more to it than that. Hopefully we get him in though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Would appear no brainer on the cost like, and if upgrade on Jonas and Obertan then great. Is he quite a direct player and pacy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Am I remembering wrong or did we have a "large" offer knocked back for Luuk De Jong in the summer? Or was it accepted and he just didn't fancy it? Was it ever confirmed by a reliable source? I'm of the mind that we are in the market for another expensive forward if the right one is available, and I'd be surprised if Gouffran represented our only business up top given how close to the first team that would still leave Shola and Ranger. Might as well gamble now if there's something that can be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
