3. Bafetimbi Gomis
Bafetimbi Gomis came close to joining Newcastle over the summer, and a move looked to be on the cards, until the proposed transfer fell through due to the striker's wage demands. However, a deal could still be resurrected, with the 28-year-old France international saying shortly after the closure of the summer window that a move
could still happen in January. The Lyon striker is into the final year of his contract at the Stade de Gerland and
could leave on a free in the New Year under the Bosman Ruling. His capture would represent something of a coup for Alan Pardew - particularly if he can land him for nothing - and the Magpie's decision not to sign Gomis over the summer could be made to look shrewd considering they were prepared to pay £7 million just two months ago.
