triggs Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I despair at some of the people that claim to support this club. Some have obviously built up so much hatred for this guy, it would kill them to see him come good. I'm happy with his contribution so far this season, and can see no reason to criticize. SEE HIM COME GOOD?! AFTER 3 YEARS, AT 30? He's not going to turn into anything better than what he is now - and has been for the duration of his time here - which might be generously described as a passable championship winger. Okay, don't wet your pants. A passable championship winger at a championship club in need of a winger. He hasn't really put a foot wrong this season, and COULD just be warming up. I think everybody on here knows his history at the club. Some of us are looking forward. Being an attacking player isn't about not making mistakes, it's about getting on the ball and making things happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 You can't question his 2 goals in his last 65 or so games, like. Win free kicks. Aye, ok. I'm not talking about his past form under a series of shite managers, drilling the enthusiasm out of everybody that has heard of the club. I'm talking about whether you are justified in complaining about his performances this season. I actually thought he won the free-kick for Shelvey but I was maybe mistaken. His attitude this season is a damn sight more positive than a lot on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's played well so far, so I don't have any real problems with him. He's not the long term answer but that goes without saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I'm not going to change my opinion on players based on them being somewhat alright at a much lower level when we all know he'd still be completely shit in the Premier League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Is he out of contract in the summer? Might as well keep him, he's doing a job, then just let him go for free in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's played well so far, so I don't have any real problems with him. He's not the long term answer but that goes without saying. He wasn't involved in our 1st two games. We lost both. Since he came into the team we have won 4 in a row, kept 3 CS in a row, scored 9 conceded 1. WTF are you whinging about?

Yorkie Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Gouffran will chip in with the odd goal arriving late in the box. He's had a few chances already this season that stunning effort off the bar excluded. There was that half-volley at the end of the first half, and another one in the second half where he couldn't get it down. He isn't a good player and isn't going to be an influential winger, but he has a modicum of attacking instinct and a lot is graft so will be a useful squad member.

Dinho lad Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's a fucking poacher played out wide and in other daft positions. If he's played in the centre, he will become a useful squad player for us at this level. (should be moved on next year if we go up) I don't see the need to become so negative about him right now. So fucking tedious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Looking over last few games we should keep him for this season, he has worked hard and not looked that bad at this level. His late movement will see him score a few this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I don't see the need to become so negative about him right now. So fucking tedious. Likewise I don't see the need to become so positive about him because he's rattled the crossbar and then skyed two other chances. At least in my case the negativity is more of a reaction to the unfounded hopes he's going to accomplish anything, rather than just being mean for the sake of it.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Keep him, unless we can bring in two wingers (Atsu and one other). He's been alright for the past few games, nothing spectacular but he's been alright and would suffice as back-up if we cant find anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 He's played a big part in our last few wins if only for his running and movement. Not going to knock him for that, especially as he's only playing because of injuries. That shot was a piledriver, I did a double take when I saw it was him who unleashed it.

Wallace Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Isn't it more a massive offer for Gouffran himself - Rafa said as much in an article I read earlier. At his age and in the last year of his contract, if another club offers you a good contract for 3 or 4 years, you have to consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 What would constitute massive for Gouffran ffs, about 4m? Somebody offering to pay 70% of his wages on a loan deal rather than 50%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
