ExiledGeordie Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 We can't even get the ball to Cisse so how would we get the ball to someone who is even less mobile and involved in play than Cisse? Who's less mobile than Cisse, btw? Bent? Well I meant in terms of relying on service. Sure Cisse is guilty of missing chances but he can atleast grab something out of nothing. Bent relies totally on service into the box which currently we don't provide whatsoever (speaking hypothetically if we were to sign him which currently looks dead in the water) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, Cisse is by far the better player but Bent's quicker over short and long distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Seeing Bony play the limited number 9 role and score twice, looking really dangerous in the 6 yard box (even though it was against a Sunday league side), has appeased me somewhat about the likes of Bent.

LucaAltieri Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'd rather have Lovenkrands back than Bent. Jokes, bro. Hey, he puts in a good shift. Plays consistently in any role you put him in. Can play with anyone. Doesn't need to be in a lone striker role to be effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was admittedly excellent in every position (and every game) he played in for us, but I dunno mate, I just prefer Darren Bent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Interesting read http://www.whoscored.com/Blog/o5gky6x4q060phhhoefzda/Show/Team-Focus-Bent-Has-the-Better-of-Newcastles-French-Fancies It's a good read, I always thought that Bent gets far too much undeserved flak on here, but really I think Gomis will be a better fit for our team.

Teasy Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 "While on face value from last season the Lyon forward may have seemed to be the right target, a look further back into the finishing figures suggests Gomis is not the man for the job of restoring success at St. James' Park." This ignores the idea that players can improve. For his last two seasons his goal scoring has been quite consistent at 1 in 2 starts or slightly better.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 The main issue is which one fits better into our squad... I don't really dislike Bent as an individual but without a doubt it's Gomis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 "It's clear then that if Newcastle are after a player of the same ilk of their current leading man that Darren Bent is the most obvious choice." And thats the reason why Bent isnt the answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Can't see us getting all 3 unless Cisse is going. It does seem a bit excessive, especially as we could get a pretty decent winger for the price Bent would cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Defiantly reckon Bent want's to play for Pardew again and we're his preferred move. Seems odd we'd go back in after what seemed to be such a farcical initial approach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
