Teasy Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Doumbia is getting crazy stick in here. Signing width and left-sided threat was more imporant anyway. But at least Doumbia is quick and has CL experience - we've had worse. Definitely, 16 goals in 23 Champions League games. Even this season he's got 6 in 8 Champions League games. Depends on the opposition though. If that's against the likes of PSG or Dortmund it's pretty good. Against nugget utd from wherethefuckistan not so much. The 6 this season were against PSV, Sporting Lisbon and Man Utd. Not the absolutely highest level of opponent but good opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Swansea seem intent on cashing in on their players. Shelvey, Ayew, Gomis etc. Perhaps Gomis is available for a lower fee, they got him for free remember. "For free". Guess they paid him a big sign on fee. Point still stands. I doubt they paid him the 10m or so he would have cost in transfer fees. Perhaps they just want to cut their losses and take 4m or so? I know theirs reports of 7m but that's too much IMO. If we pay £4m for him we're absolutely off our fucking rockers. Aye[emoji38] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his rumoured signing fee plus whatever he is due for not asking to leave even £7m would leave Swansea with next to nothing on the deal given they arent exactly rushing to replace him.

duo Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Gomis is poor, man. Rather just persevere with Mitrovic, Perez and de Jong than waste time with the likes of him. Agreed ..............................Gomis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 IF we sign Gomis then we deserve all we get, which will be relegation, nailed on. We have given some hope, some limited smattering of a sense that we are trying to claw our way out of this shit by some positive signings. Passing in midfield, some pace on the flanks, looking at our defensive weak point (one of the two) in loaning a LB.. Then IF we address the main issue, goals, by signing an absolute lump, a carthorse of a player: with no pace, no movement and an arse the size of Bimpys mrs then we deserve to be shot with shit. Utterly pointless, we may as well persist with what we have or recall Armstrong. Gomis is utter shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Doumbia is closer to what we need. Pace, power and versatility. Seems a bit like oberfemi from the limited amount I have seen. In a way he might be better for us in the short term than berahino and might work better with Mitro. Also reported to have a great character and attitude on the training ground and towards other players. Gomis brings next to nothing. A slight upgrade on Shola, won't compliment Mitro at all. Would be a massive failure if we end up there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'd have been relatively happy with Gomis on a free last Summer (as it didn't look like we'd be shopping at the top end of the market). I'm not a fan of paying £7m for him now. I'd rather gamble on Doumbia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
