If true, could be the end for Michu and Bony. |  |

Good points RE the age of the player and him not being a typical swans signing.
Im sure i heard that this was a stickimg point when we signed pablo, paying a hefty fee with virtually no RE sale value after his contract.
One thing is that we know the board Will do the best they can do . |  | | |

If Gomis's wage demands is out of our price range, then he will not be signing for us. I am not worried about that at all.
Vasquez has huge potential (despite his poor season here) and might even make it in the future. Castaignos is another one who will probably not be ready to step into premier league football straight away. Gomis should be ready to step in when called upon. We are at the stage now where we need a striker ready for first team football, not someone who is raw and has potential. £7 Million trasnfer fee plus big wages for the latter is more of a risk than signing a player like Gomis on a free IMO.
Bony plays to our strengths and vice versa and we can't rely on Bony to play every game, especially with the ACN coming up. He'll be away for the qualifiers, friendlies and the tournament. If Gomis is similar to Bony, then great because that means he'll slot straight in the team with WIlf isn't around.
I can't see a single fault with this potential signing because i'm pretty sure our wage budget will not be broken for anyone. |
Castaignos is worlds apart from Vazquez absolutely worlds apart. He was one of the hottest prospects in world football when he signed for Inter. Vazquez is a nobody in comparison.
Gomis is a decent player but he's not really as good as you're making him out to be. I know Bony is away but there's no need to throw big money wages at a lesser version of him.
I just can't see how we can work out a viable deal with Gomis when he's a free agent. We're going to have to break our wage structure to compete with the market. He's just not worth that. |  |

Cherno samba was a hot prospect too. Inter got rid for a reason and his current clubs fans also think we are having our pants pulled down for a reason. He was tipped as the next henry, just as bruno cheyrou was tipped the next zidane. Neither took that promise on from their teens. |  |

I was going to suggest that maybe we should trust the people running the club as they seem to have done ok before but when I saw "Vasquez has HUGE potential" I realise this is a wind up |  |

Only thing that concerns me about signing Gomis is that, if indeed he's being signed as a backup for Wilf and will be spending most of his time on the bench, it doesn't appear that he'll offer us much different tactically. He's just another big, bullying striker, whereas someone in the Borini mould (quick, pacey) would, I think, give us another option. Admittedly haven't seen him play much mind, so this may not be a problem. |  |

Gomis is quick and direct and plays off the shoulder of the last defender. Would not say he is a bullying type centre forward but can look after himself. |  |

I agree. We're not going to smash our wage structure on a backup for Bony.
If we do make a deal work, it'll be because his wage demands have been greatly exaggerated in the media. | | | |

Just consider that weekly wedge is never as high as reported and the fact that he would be free partly negates it anyway. Any potential transfer fee can be paid directly to the player keeping wages within limits. Sales of current top players would also fund it so FPP is not an issue.
Another thing to bear in mind is that Bony was a lower priority target than Gomis last summer so don't assume he is coming as second choice. Got to be realistic and in my opinion if we are to lose Bony and Michu then the board are shopping very well if the two signings I mentioned originally come off. | |

Regarding your last paragraph, that's like saying if we went in for David Stockdale now then he should be ahead of Vorm in the pecking order because we went for Stockdale before signing Vorm.
Bony is a proven goal scorer in the Premier League and was 6th top scorer in the league last season! To sell him now would be a backwards step. [Post edited 23 Jun 2014 13:54]

No, clearly I'm not saying he should be ahead of Bony or that Bony should be sold, just that he is held in as high regard by the club and that he wouldn't be a back up player.....and if we did sell him it would only be a backward step if his replacement was inadequate, etc, etc... | |

Perhaps I've misunderstood what your point was. You think Bony will be gone if we sign Gomis? I'd hope that if we were to sign Gomis, he would't break our wage structure and he would be in the same squad of players as Bony. If either of those two conditions weren't part of the deal then I'm out. | |

I personally hope we don't sign Gomis.
He is not a typical Swansea City signing and it's highly debatable whether he is worth spending £10 - 13m+ on when he will have an extremely low re-sale value whether he does well or not for us over a couple of years. |  |

Yes, unfortunately I don't think we will have both. I think that was my point in the OP. Personally, I'd prefer to keep Wilf if a choice had to be made but I suspect it will go the other way and there could be far worse solutions out there if it came to be. I also thought Gylfi at the expense of Michu was an interesting conundrum. | |

If there is any official indication that Spurs are prepared to sell Siggy then we should make him a priority signing as for Gomis has a useful scoring record who would add to Monk's striking options. | | | |

There was something in the papers about Pochetino not rating Gylfi. I (ducks for cover) am not overly excited as I think we've moved on as a club and could do better |  |

Surely we shouldn't place re-sale value as the highest priority criteria when signing a player? I'm all for building a young team full of potential, but I think it would be foolish to not get a smattering of experienced quality among them once in a while. That costs money nowadays.

Gomis isn't experienced quality though. Many players do well in other European leagues then flop here. They shouldn't be classed as experienced until they've cut it in the league we play in. | |
