ponsaelius Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 There's absolutely no chance Gouffran is getting a new contract, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I cannot see why not if we're short on the wings like. I certainly cannot see why Rafa would choose to buy a player for £6m ahead of him who he clearly rates less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'd definitely just get shot of Gouff while keeping Atsu. He's a far, far better option from the bench for picking up points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Would definitely sign him as back up, as long as we do sign someone else to play ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Would definitely sign him as back up, as long as we do sign someone else to play ahead of him. If we don't sign anybody else he'd be even more important to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Given that Ritchie is our only wide player, signing this guy for his very reasonable release fee is a no brainer IMO. Wouldn't be happy if he was first choice left winger but as a squad player we could do a lot worse, he's generally excellent off the bench too.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 We'll see, if we sign Atsu and get rid of Gouffran I'll set my cock on fire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Regardless of Atsu there's absolutely no way 31 year old Yoan Gouffran is getting a new deal under Rafa for the PL. They tried to peddle him last summer ahead of a Championship season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm hoping we sign Atsu and another winger while getting rid of Gouffran. Usually i wouldn't set my expectations that high, but i trust Rafa completely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually i wouldn't set my expectations that high, but i trust Rafa completely. I think we'll sign a couple of wingers and get rid of both. I just cannot see Benitez signing a player he rarely played ahead of - as Sewelly says - a 30 year old Yoan Gouffran we tried to peddle last summer ahead of a Championship season I know he's still pretty young and it's only around ~£6m like.

sempuki Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Have changed my mind about him. Would be good as back-up imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Sign him up, even as a back up, we need direct players like him in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it earlier in the thread, but if we sign a better player than Atsu I'll be a happy man. Not that he's brilliant or anything, but it's been a while since we had a decent winger who can score goals. The last one we had was bombed out by the fraud.

Chris_R Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 He can beat a man and has pace, every side needs players like that. I'd sign him, definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I've changed my mind on him like, I'd sign him. At £6m it's a low risk, he looks like a player on an upward curve who can continue to improve. He's quick and direct, aye PL defences are a lot better but he would still be useful if used correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Aye, sign him as an option for either flank off the bench. I'd still want at least another left winger though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I dunno what the fuck I was talking about last night like We're not offering Gouffran a new contract. For £6m Atsu is pretty much a no-brainer too, definitely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Reckon we're more likely to re-sign Gouff than sign Atsu, unfortunately. The life of Gouff's contract won't match the transfer fee and Rafa seems to prefer Gouff anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
