Dr Gloom 19837 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 We can't let Campbell go on loan - he's second or third choice striker at this stag. Kuqi standing by his phone, waiting to save the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 3472 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Just ridiculous, clubs needing strikers a lot less than us are shelling out big money for them while we wait for God knows what chasing have beens like Bent. Absolutely bloody depressing.Despite knowing what happened last summer, and despite knowing who runs this club, I still thought we'd have gotten in someone by now.

Just think we'll be lucky if he can score more than 10 goals in a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Gomis ... Agreement reached according to L'equipe. http://www.lequipe.fr/info-continue/transfert "Selon nos informations, un accord aurait été trouvé entre Newcastle et Lyon pour le transfert de l'attaquant Bafé Gomis. La somme serait de huit millions d'euros mais certains détails (commissions, indemnité de solidarité) seraient encore à régler." According to our information, an agreement has been found between Newcastle and Lyon for the transfer (of Gomis).. The sum will be 8m euros but certain details (agent fees, bonuses) still need to be sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Gomis has to be an improvement on the alternative - which is no one. If he scores one goal all season it's still better than where we're heading otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he scores one goal all season it's still better than where we're heading otherwise. Gomis could turn out to be a good buy for all I know, but I dont get your logic there. Might as well buy a cheap goalkeeper for 500K and stick him up there then, he'll probably score a goal or maybe even two in the season. Better than the alternative, which is noone.

Ok fair enough, I was exaggerating. Ultimately my point should have been that he has to be better than not bringing in a striker at all. You would hope.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Re Gomis: Lyon president Aulas says he hopes a deal will be wrapped up in the 24/48 hours. Fee is €8m + add ons. Expect Gomis in #NUFC soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5937 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 There are numerous agents who all want a fee though, not quite done yet. Why footballers don't just pick one agent is beyond me, if anything having more than one usually does them out of a move they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'd be hanging my hopes on rather than him playing with better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5937 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Yeah. Most of their squad is French non internationals. Ours is mostly French internationals with the likes or Krul, Coloccini, Santon, Cisse and Tiote thrown in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately my point should have been that he has to be better than not bringing in a striker at all. You would hope. They've gotten us down to that point now havent they? I suppose my reservations about him are mainly because he's never had a great scoring record and he isnt exactly young. I'd be delighted to have him now, given like you say the alternate which is Shola, but its just infuriating we weren't in for the likes of Van Wolfswinkle and Bony.
