Mike Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've got sympathy for Gouff, tbh. I bet he'd like to play forward but we're run by madmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've always felt a bit for Gouffran but there's no chance he's a centre forward, man. Not a good one anyway. He scored a few goals once for us in succession but other than that his career, here and elsewhere, has hardly suggested it was the norm. He might not be a very good one, but we definitely bought him as a striker, and that's where he was playing at his previous club. He's certainly not a winger that's for sure. In the Championship I think he'd be sort of acceptable anywhere across the front line tbh, purely down to the lack of quality. I'm pretty sure the general consensus when we signed him was that he was one of the weird, Ryan Taylor-esque utility players with no real role in any side, and would be used as such but maybe I'm just imagining that in hindsight. He's clearly not a target man, he's not good enough in front of goal to be a centre forward, he's not creative enough for the wings. When he came he looked good for like 2 games until everyone in the league sussed he was actually shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Jonas at the very least would retain possession and force fouls to slow shit down. Gouffran should have been our sub-striker option, I have no doubt he would have done a decent enough job there as well. He was massively, massively Pardewed though.

Dinho lad Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Signs for another mid-table team with a defensive minded manager. When will he learn? It's either that he that doesn't see a problem with shit, workman-like managers or he's simply too thick to learn from his "mistakes". Either way, it does at the least indicate that he's a little bit at fault regarding how his career has shaped-out. (Just a little bit.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TruToon94 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is fucking bizzare... Why not wait until the new manager is appointed rather than shipping him out? More reason to believe Carver is to take over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Colo as captain said he's not welcome back here So we're getting rid of pretty much the only player whose very name can put asses in seats and IMHO is our best player based on the opinion of a 32 year old who hasn't had a good game in 2 years?

Christ this club is screwed. Basically yes. I personally would have sided with HBA over Colo as i don't think his conduct as captain has been brilliant and Colo is on his last legs, but the club seem to want to him him at all costs. The dressing room was split, the French lads Vs and the older pros stuff that was flying around last year that got the papers banned were completely true; cabaye kept it all together and as soon as he left it fell part whilst colo wasn't interested in healing it. It left HBA in a vulnerable place with his allies being picked off one by one. One more overstep of the mark and it was showdown time, not with Pardew who's ego believed he could tame him, but with Colo who at this point had all the power and HBA was shipped out of the club to Hull once HBA was made poster boy of the fans campaign against the club and Pardew. HBA & Pardew got along quite well, even when he left he didn't stick the knife in, even said he didnt want him sacked. Well that's my take on it.
