Ash Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 @GFN_France: According to RMC, NUFC will meet with Bordeaux soon over Gouffran. Looking into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Is he the sort that could play with Cisse in a 2? I saw a bit of the game yesterday and he looked quite similar to Cisse to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Anyway he's nothing like Cisse..... more of a wide forward with lots of pace who can play through the middle. ( which he has this season) He's no Ba replacement but he's definitely better than the likes of Jonas, Shola. Obertan etc etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaehyun Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's hard to partner Cisse with anyone in a two because he doesn't have brute power nor blistering pace. He has smart movement, good control and a precise finish. For a player like cisse either the whole team needs to play well or he needs a partner who has strength and pace who isn't selfish....That kind of profile is hard to find. I'd be interested to see how well Gouffran plays on the left wing though.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a straight swap for Demba from what I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MW Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 know nothing about him, is it likely he will be our only striker bought? hopefully he is the no3 striker and we still get someone else in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBA can play left forward if Gouffran needs to play right. what's important is a striker who can play as part of a front 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardsley was probably the most unselfish footballer out there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a straight swap for Demba from what I've seen. Not a winger for me either. His club play a bit of hoof ball in to the box and he has a canny knack of finding space in the box and scoring with his head. Can play it on the deck too.

But he'd provide absolute quality service from the left if he was prepared to play an unselfish role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah doesn't look like his natural position. I think he's played on the right before though. I was hoping that he would improve our starting 11 though with Ben Arfa on the right so it would be interesting to see if he can play on the left.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We don't play with wingers really though, we just a forward who is mobile and technical enough to play wide in a 4-3-3. I don't know if Gouffran is that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 He's not a winger but he can play as an inside forward. That's what we need, he'll come into the box from wide and cause problems with Cisse, as well as looking to make some runs behind defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that the few times he has played on the left he wasn't as prominent. From previous interviews it looks like he likes the number 10 role and the right wing cutting in to shoot with the left is about as close as he's going to get to that position in this team.

Beardsley was probably the most unselfish footballer out there. It's the closest we're going to get, like. The hope is that with better players around him, he'll have reason to be less selfish. This season, we've relied on him too much to provide the individual spark to win games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
