Andrew 4183 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 We're "officially in talk" with gomis as well Who if I remember rightly we were after from st ettiene a few years back but he went to Lyon instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Back in for Gomis, apparently. Aye Lee Ryder tweeting that AP hopes Gomis is tied up this week. Is he any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34190 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Aye Lee Ryder tweeting that AP hopes Gomis is tied up this week. Is he any good? You'll be able to tell us after 10 minutes of his first pre season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Wiki says that we were after him under Keegan. His scoring records canny, not far off a goal every two games for Lyon over the past couple of seasons and a regular judging by the number of games he's played. I've only seen odd bits of him here and there for France though so I wouldn't like to say how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1115 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 From his goals on Youtube, he looks pretty strong, predominantly right footed, technically decent with good movement in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8950 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 From 1260 minutes that NUFC played once the window closed.... Perch played 466 minutes...a little over one game in three. http://www.whoscored.com/Players/9563/Fixtures/James-Perch Simpson 261 minutes...one in five... http://www.whoscored.com/Players/23683/Fixtures/Danny-Simpson I'm pretty sure if you look in the "who should we sell" threads, those 2 would be pretty frequent choices. I agree we're short of options, but I really can't work up any distress over any of these players going. Said it in the Perch thread, if he's on £20k a week and we didn't get the fee we did and he was off on a free next summer, then it would cost us almost £2m to keep him...for 13 games, that's over £150k a game. He's never that valuable to us. Is the distress not less about those players leaving, and more that our already thin squad has been further thinned and there've been no hints that it'll be thickened any time soon? Nobody would give a fuck if we waved goodbye to Perch, Simpson, Hell even Steven Taylor or Anita if the right replacements came in. As it stands we've lost an average Right Back and a versatile grafting low-rent player and have nobody to take their place. Even if that place is just wishing the squad that travelled good luck on twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 iirc, nobody wanted him as he was a bit Shola-esque early on in his career. I think he became a regular in the French National squads and scored a fair few for his club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12447 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 He was linked to Swansea not too long ago and he said something along the lines of only wanting to go to a club in the champions league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney 0 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Gomies was meant to be the "new drogba" then everyone realised he was kinda shite. AP-Gignac is woeful as well frankly if these are cisse/ba replacements we're fucked, Gomis won't work well either playing up top on his own . Is he the one who piled on the weight, but had a decent run last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5890 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Out of him, Bent and Gignac, Gomis would be my first choice. If we can get over the Cisse row it would be canny to see how they play together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3421 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 20th July ffs. Havent even replaced the squad players that have left. For all the talk of a weak squad last season, here we are worse off with no signs of fixing it. Let alone the striking crisis. Fully expect a couple of last minute panic buys that where we'll pay thrice the amount a shite player's value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
