Minhosa Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 'Only just' doesn't matter. He oversaw something absolutely metal like 35 transfers in a couple of months, and built a squad that won the league. Then, the players who didn't have a long-term future were moved on, either sold or loaned out. Gamez the apparent exception, but his contract's up at the end of this season init? And, more importantly of all, changed a 'stepping stone' culture that'd been here for eons. Goes against Ashley's ultimate goal though, doesn't it. Yeah - probably true actually, on reflection. Fat cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If the budget is low and we could get £15m for Gayle and then loan Sturridge/Batshuayi for a percentage of that then I'd do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If the budget is low and we could get £15m for Gayle and then loan Sturridge/Batshuayi for a percentage of that then I'd do it. Not sure about selling Gayle to get Sturridge, mind. Batshuayi aye but with Sturridge's fitness he could get injured for a long period and we'd only have Joselu to replace him as Rafa won't play Mitrovic even if he isn't sold. Perez you could play there but he isn't exactly a recognised striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'd take a gamble on getting 4-5 goals in 9 games due to injury from Sturridge than another 3 in 20 from Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If the budget is low and we could get £15m for Gayle and then loan Sturridge/Batshuayi for a percentage of that then I'd do it. More likely either of those would get more goals than Gayle would ffs, so simple of a concept Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We’d sell Gayle and loan Sturridge only for Sturridge to get injured for rest of season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If we got 3 new signings Rafa was happy with I'd be content with the takeover shite dragging on for the rest of the season. Alreet Rudyard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This announcement gives me no further confidence the club will strengthen appropriately in this window. Is it not? Well I never. It’s apparent Ashley didn’t want to commit money in to the squad as he’d hoped for a sale. Now that isn’t happening he has to so he can protect the status of the club. So yes, there is a link here. Hopefully we can get some business done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 come on man. We're not doing shit. I feel more confident that we will since pcp have been called out. I think not getting a win against Swansea has woken the fat fucker up both on the sale and the transfer front. Don’t think he has a choice now.
