Guest TCD23 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can;t believe it get in with this signing. Now we look forward to Pards somehow fitting in Ameobi again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm not all THAT excited by Gouffran he sounds alright, not amazing, having said that I do have a soft spot for tricky intelligent forwards, which sounds like what he is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The amount of bitching from some of you Happy Jack mother fuckers is ridiculous. We needed help up front, we got help up front. He's young, scores goals, can play across the line, and came cheaply. "Tomorrow I will be a new player of Newcastle and I am proud.

Benwell Lad Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd have taken this guy over Remy any time. Better player, better form and due to his existing contract much better value. Harry's done us a favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Excellent now to sign Ba's replacement and we are looking good. Hate to burst the bubble on what's looking like a good day, but this is Ba's replacement. Pretty certain he's not tbh, you don't plan to spend 8m on Remy and then spend 1m on Gouffran... he's not the replacement for Ba i'm absolutely certain of it. He's too low a profile for that, when we sell a purple we usually replace him with someone high profile. ( See Cisse, Cabaye, Santon and maybe Mbiwa) He will add quite a lot to the team but i doubt he's Ba's replacement. I think Madras is right though, Cisse was Ba's replacement, we probably got him in last year with an eye on Ba's release clause. Yes we were after Remy, but then when that fell through we probably allocated that money elsewhere, like M'Biwa. Gouffran might not be the long term answer but at the price he's seen as a decent bet. If he doesn't fire, we can peddle him in the summer and look again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry's done us a favour. Based on what? Have you seen much of him? Nah, not really so I'd have to concede that Carr probably knows best I remember being impressed with Bordeaux's forward play at SJP, very fluid and good movement despite the result. Especially first half before the game was lost. My opinion is mainly based on below article which was posted earlier about Remy. He's done less in the last two years than Shola has for us, yet wanted top player money. Think Gouffran will be a better character and have better attitude too. We'll see. http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/newcastle-united-have-done-well-to-dodge-loic-remy-s-potential-bu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slippery Sam Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ashley rolling the dice again with this signing? He couldn't get who he wanted (the money boy who went to QPR) so he gets a body in to make up the numbers and hopes that QPR get relegated (we don't) and he gets the guy after all? Gamble, gamble.

toon25 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Here's another one to tick off the list, this guy was clearly second choice and we've got him in Aye. Credit where it's due, like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Also, are people happy enough with Gouffran, Cisse, Ben Arfa until the end of the season, or do we need another striker? happy with cisse/ gouffran at point (if that makes sense), with 2 from gouffran, marveaux, ben arfa, obertan to play off and support.

I would get another forward in myself, but i don't think that will happen and i think Gouffran, Mbiwa, Debuchy, Sissoko and Haidara would be enough to keep us up as well as the return to fitness of Taylor, Cabaye and Ben Arfa.

I believe Carr's remit is to have at least two potential targets lined up for every position and to monitor them. We're not gonna get our first pick every time but on this occasion I definitely prefer the second pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
