Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 27th July Part Two

Newcastle United will have to pay £8.6m to sign 27-year-old Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis.

Full story: Newcastle Evening Chronicle

What’s the story? OK, so pay it then.

Does it make sense? Yes. The original price that made the media of £4m which absurdly low. This is a good price though still for a big, quick, strong presence who has got to double figures in goals for 7 years.

Is the price right? Yep. They could probably even pay more and still be satisfied with the deal.

Will it happen? 8/10 – It should do. Kinnear made it clear that he wanted a striker and this is a solid fee. Lyon have been very active in selling.
