http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport...ed-swansea-s-bafetimbi-gomis-for-7m-1-7679998 The Daily Mail ran a story on this rumour also. He's 30! No chance.
For £7m he could be an option for 2-3 years until Arma develops? I'd like to see him in ONLY if we get a better striker in the summer (fully expect Cisse and Riviere to go).
I wouldn't want him for some reason but he has looked quite good at times for them. Not a great goalscoring record though.
Can't stand the bloke for some reason. Possibly because he has the worst celebration I've ever seen. Thankfully, he's had no cause for celebration recently, which is the main reason we should be leaving him well alone.
Why would we sign someone with a poor goalscoring record when we need a player that will bang them in? This is a non-story. Swansea want to offload him and are offering him. They know that we were interested once upon a time. Now? No chance.
"Like a jumble sale left out in the rain It's not good, Its not right The standards have fallen My value has dropped But dont shed a tear Some walk like they own the place Whilst others creep in fear Try if you can to walk like a man But you don't come near"
As mentioned, his goal-scoring record is not good, he won't have a re-sell profit value and his lack of goals explains why Swansea are in the shiite with us!
Not only is his goalscoring record not that good, he has also been offside more times in the PL than anyone else. 33 times so far which is 12 more than the nearest player to him. ( Cisse is a wonder in comparison )
He'd be a steel at £9 Million, and I think he would suit your style of game, but I don't think we can give you another one of our stars, being a relegation rival, we would be shooting ourselves in both feet otherwise. By the way glad you like Shelvey, sounds like he had a great game on his debut, he had a great pairing with Gomis by the way last season, all the best..............
Boo, we don't do the scouting so don't try and fool us with your canny ways!! He looked good towards the end of last season and started with a good game at Chelsea this year but seems to have gone massively off the boil. On another note the football Swansea plays does seem to have taken a massive hit in the last few months - Montero, Ki, Sigurdsson, Ayew, Gomis some good attacking outlets there and yet have looked a touch impotent recently. Wouldn't be surprised to see them suddenly clicking and doing great again (nothing wrong with your defence either but don't feel that's where the problem has been recently) though it is alarming the length of time they seem to be under-performing.
I simply can't stand it either. If he did it in front of me when standing at pitch side I think I would want to jump the advertising boards and boot him in the face.
In the words of Gomis "Meoww" He looks desperate to leave... please log in to view this image He might do what he did at Lyon and put a disguise on, hoping no one sees him slipping out (Is that not **** Malbranque in the background? #hetoldhimhowtoslipout) please log in to view this image You guys should embrace a bit of drama - hear Gomis roar!
I just can't. And I'm a big fan of a celebration. If it was me i would dedicate at least 1 days training a week to getting a decent one together for match day. This one has got to go though!
