Aston Villa and West Ham have joined the list of clubs interested in Swansea City striker Bafetimbi Gomis, according to reports in France.

Better than getting Grant Holt back.
I swear we were linked with him about 5-6 years ago when O Neill was here. Not sure I rate him, but he's able to play through the middle and wide, and would probably be an improvement over Weimann or a half-assed Gabby.

Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier has indicated that he is interested in bringing Bafetimbi Gomis to the club to replace John Carew, according to the Daily Star and others.

Not sure I rate him either but he can't be any worse than Gabby.

If the choice were Sinclair and Gomis or nothing, then I'd take them.

Can't help but think that he'd be better off looking abroad to find his next Sanchez/Benteke/Okore with the cash though.

He's only scored 1 league goal hasn't he?
He's certainly not scored many, but he's also barely played with Bony doing all of their 'lone striker' stuff. I'm pretty sure that's the reason he wants to leave.

Can't see Swansea letting him leave just as Bony jets-off for the African Cup of Nations.

I like Gomis. It'd probably mean we're gonna play with two up front, that would be good.

I'd take most of the people linked at the moment to generate some kind of interest. The idea of going to watch Boldmere St. Mikes over the Villa becomes more and more tempting with each game that passes. I a/. can't afford it, b/. find myself not caring for the players nor the manager c/. find myself bored senseless every time I go to VP, so at least some new arrivals may summon up some kind of interest.

Is it time for the biannual outbreak of "I've heard we're signing *insert word for "nobody" in foreign language of your choice here*" jokes?

If it is, I've heard we're signing Nessuno.

I'm sure we've usually had at least 12 references to Cardiff's Craig Noone by January 5th.
