Official: Yoan Gouffran signs new contract with Goztepe


Recommended Posts

Pretty sure he didn't get 1 in 4, like. He was godawful in the PL, anyway and never got near to it again after we binned him.

 

Scored 10 in 40 appearances after promotion. A lot of appearances as a sub or left winger under Pardew.

 

Not in the Premier League he didn't get 10. I don't really remember him playing LW under Pardew at all, either. Jonas was there. He was up front or benched.

 

Waste of time even discussing it, to be honest. Lovenkrands is a good lad but a perfect example of a player who did nothing before us, or after us. I hope the days of us signing rubbish like that are gone.

Never in my life did I think I'd say this, but the mighty Gouf has to start on Saturday [emoji38]

 

Feel dirty just typing it.

 

I know what you mean but he's been immense so far.

 

I lay the blame for his decline squarely at Pardew's door (and there's a good pile of shit outside that particular door already).

 

If you're an accountant and get told to go and work as a surgeon then it's inevitable you are going to look a bit average. Gouffran was never a defensive winger in a million years.

 

That melt Pardew needs publically outing for the fraud he is but he just keeps on getting away with it.

He's still playing as a defensive winger, just at a lower level

 

 

Very true but when you combine that with a rocket of a left foot and generally making sensible decisions when he's on the ball, that makes him a useful player at this level. What's more disappointing is that we don't seem to have anyone who can be trusted to play as a genuine attacking winger on that flank.

The most comparable player would be Lovenkrands, good in the Championship, can fulfil a useful squad role in the Premier League under the right conditions.

 

Lovenkrands is a riddiculous comparison he was an aging player who'd spent the majority of his career in the SPL when we signed him.

We're in the Championship. He's a million miles away from being a PL quality player.

This is it like. Not unlike Rafa to make good use of that type of player either, mind.

Did he head the ball against someone else or into his arm or something?  Looks like it takes two touches before it goes in.

 

That's exactly what I thought when i seen the goals again before.

 

It's hard to see to be honest but it does look like it takes another touch just after he heads it.
