Not intended as a piss-take but a genuine question: does the prospective signing of Gomis actually excite you? If he'd done anything good at Swansea, they wouldn't be flogging him to you, surely?
Yes, very much so. He's a striker with a dozen caps for the French national team. Our best striking options at the moment are Gayle and Campbell, Gomis would offer something completely different; he's a goalscorer with a physical presence.
The reason he hasn't played for Swansea is because they use a single striker system and their usual starter is current Chelsea/Man City target Wilfried Bony.
You'd really not want Bent? I can't think of a striker you have that's better I honestly can't?
Bent made a career based on his finishing ability and his pace. Gayle is better in both departments and is far better overall.
