I love all the experts on here who just know that potential signings are nowhere near good enough for us anymore.
I remember you lot at the start of the season bleating the same thing about Frank Lampard.
The same Frank Lampard that had just signed for Man City for the whole season.
Drogba is another one. Way too old you'd think but he's been popping a few in for Chelsea this season.
I guess what I'm saying is...keep an open mind now and again lads, it's what Swansea City have been doing close on 12 years now. |  |

Borini's finishing ability is top notch IF he get played as a centre forward and not a winger. For 4-5 million it would be a low risk pint that could pay off massively. He's still young and I bet he'd love to come back here |
This. If the price is right he'd be a good fit. |  |

No.As a ball boy.
Can't see Hazard or anyone else (even Shawcross!!) being able to kick him off the ball |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

Borini is a championship striker can't even get in Liverpool's team this year a big step backwards if we bought him. | |

Bring Michu back and pair him with Siggy (not a bad 2nd option).
Let's give Gomis a shot... i'm sure he'll make the role his own! | | | |

Gomis is top dog now ,he'll get goals for us, plus we've already got a backup striker i don't think Monks will be looking for anyone else until the summer if theses two fail |  |

Even though Bony was amazing for us, we kind of lost our normal style of play. (Although people don't like to admit it.)
A lot of long balls played up to him, with Gomis I think we'll get more of our passing game back. |
That's more to do with Shelvey than Bony. |  |

I think people expecting us to make any big buys this window will be disappointed, chances are we'll make a few minor additions and waiting 'til the summer to make the bigger changes. I, and apparently Swansea city share this view, am not a big fan of doing major business in the January window. We never really make big buys in January. |  | | |

Inter also interested in Scott Sinclair. Make of that what you will. |  |

My personal opinion is that style of play also suited Gylfi.
Bony holding up allowing him to run on .... With Gomis the ball needs to be played in front of him which IMO will not bring the best out of the Iceman. |  | | |

The old adage is that you can never get value in January, and although there are certain exceptions like you I don't think we'll find our next long term striking option in January.
Also Borini is a completely different player to anything we've had here since the last time he was on loan. IMO it wouldn't make sense to pay January fees for a player who would mean a complete change in the way we play. |  | | |

As stated earlier in thread he turned down QPR because they wouldn't pay him enough
You think we'd pay more than them ? | | | |

Yep must agree, watching Gomis that thought definitely crossed my mind. More suited to our previous style of play which we had to adapt to best suit Bony. Now perhaps we could revert more naturally to our more consistently free flowing style.
I think Gomis's showing in his limited game time gives a lot of optimism and compares favourably with Bony at the start - although of course different skills
Even before Michu was injured at Cardiff (and hardly played again after) Bony was getting twice the PL game time that Gomis had over the same number of games (Bony average of 50 mins a game and played in every single PL game for which he was available, where Gomis averaging 26 mins). Bony also having full European and cup game time from the outset. Yet in the same period that Bony had only scored one open play PL goal so had Gomis, even though he had significantly less playing time. So it is a shame if some are prejudging Gomis without him having an equal PL opportunity (obviously we are not fortunate enough to have Europe to help integrate Gomis more rapidly). | | | |

I said earlier that I thought he was a great championship player but not up to the Prem. He was ok at Sunderland, but did nothing for L'pool. With potentially 30 million in the pot we could get better. | | | |

I heard on radio the other day that Gomis was unhappy as he was promised game time as the system we would be employing would be him and Bony on the field at the same time. |  |

I think you're underestimating him here, I'd say he's up to the Prem as shown in his time at Sunderland he's probably not good enough to be the #1 striker in the prem but as a backup he's good enough.
If Liverpool buy another striker in January it would probably lower his value to them (which can't be great at the moment anyway) and you could get a good deal, his wages would no doubt be a concern though as I think he's on too much compared to his ability at Liverpool (just speculation on my part). |  | | |

Interesting. I wonder if that was after Bony was not sold or in the case that Bony was not sold. Hard to believe we would splash out the kind of money would would have had to to get Gomis here on an intended long term second striker.
Possibly a plan B that Villareal showed as pretty flawed (certainly at that stage)
Hope the serious lack of playing time has not soured the relationship with Gomis. Without playing them both together obviously a very difficult situation. | | | |
