Klaus Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We need a pacey striker, that can stretch the defence and offer something different to Mitro. I'm not sure Gomis fits the bill he's the complete opposite to what we need. Hes shit, therefore the opposite of what we need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Gomis would actually be useful at present to have on the bench to bring on when Mitrovic is tiring, NUFC have missed the boat so many times on this deal though the boat has now been taken out of service and been sold for scrap in Bangladesh.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Depends what we're planning... presumably since Cisse and Toney are out we actually need backup to Mitrovic now, rather than a partner? If he got injured the entire system would need to change otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Polls are interesting, 100% would rather stick with Thaivin than pay 14m for Townsend and 91% would not pay 30M for Berahino. Hes not worth anywhere near that. He's only really had one full really strong season. If we spend 30 million on someone I want them to be proven over several seasons or some kind of rare gem of a youngster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Would everyone pay £30m for Beharino? Bearing in mind the 'we don't care about fees' position that seems to be common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't, but I don't mind Mike Ashley doing it. Who cares, it's all gravy when we cash in on Perez/Wijnaldum/Sissoko/Dummett/etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help judging transfers partly based on how much they cost. It's whether you believe he'll score enough goals to keep.us in the division . If we knew for sure he was going to get you 20 a season then yeah you would, but obviously there's no way to guarantee it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help judging transfers partly based on how much they cost. Everyone judges them on what they cost man. For example Mbemba is decent makes a few mistakes but he'll probably be a fairly decent CB in a year or 2. However if we had paid 45 Million for him everyone would be saying how ridiculous it was.

Guest Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't mind Gomis though last few times I've seen him he seems to have been offside more than Cisse. As a second experienced option I'd take him as a back up for Mitrovic. Fits in that Jelavic/Diouf bracket as a decent bench option capable of starting a few if Mitro needs taken out of the firing line for a spell. Much better than Riviere too.

I think berhaino would improve us, I think he'd score goals for us and I think he'd give us another dimension. I also think, couple him with some of the other players we have, he could keep us in the division. Whether we pay £20m or £30m for that, I couldn't really care less at this point. I'm not sure why anyone else would either. The debate should solely be about is he good enough, not what he costs, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair enough position, just the logical extension is things like Liverpool were absolutely right to buy Andy Carroll for £35m.

Disco Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Paying £20-30m for someone who, for me isn't a guaranteed starter, when we have far, far more deficient areas in the first team would be total lunacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 For 30m I'd imagine the net is pretty wide for alternatives. Gomis is rubbish and I'd leave well alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Id happily spend 30M on a guaranteed starter no doubt. Any position, if he's a top class player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
