Andy84 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 IMO Origi is a better player at this level. But I thought he was being offered in the Lamar package. If there's any justice, we'll get Origi. 50-50 chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wonder if any of our fans will dare question Rafa if this ultimately goes wrong or will they all just find somebody else to blame as usual. I'm going to blame you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If we spend that money a new player, regardless of position, then I'm all for it. I like Gayle but I seriously doubt whether he will cut it at the top. I'd like to see us go straight back in for Perez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wonder if any of our fans will dare question Rafa if this ultimately goes wrong or will they all just find somebody else to blame as usual. How about we wait to see what's actually happening and if something goes wrong before deciding who to blame? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more cynical side of me would suggest that Rafa is being backed into a corner to do this to raise transfer funds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 IMO Origi is a better player at this level. But I thought he was being offered in the Lamar package. If there's any justice, we'll get Origi. Monaco are going to be starting Jovetic & Origi up front for certain now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 FWIW I think even we would have a fee and terms agreed with a striker before sanctioning Gayle to leave I'm only leaning this way because of Rafa.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 No fucking shit. It's almost like Perez isn't available for less than that, nor is Origi on loan. Can just see Wenger demanding £100m now because of our windfall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Didn't Rafa say there was a few names the press didn't know about a few days back or am I imagining that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Well this is all a bit crazy. Well, we're not in the championship anymore, and can't rely on our quality to overcome teams. Rafa has insisted since we got promoted that this season will need the team to have a great mentality and a hardworking mindset. Maybe they don't feel Gayle is working hard enough out there, and he might feel he shouldn't because it means it compromises his hamstrings. I can see how things might have gone this way. This club man ... why this is all only just coming about with two days left in the window is beyond me. Unreal. God help us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Let's replace an injury-prone footballer with Danny Ings. He's supposed to be back looking decent, whoever takes a punt on him will either score or bust. You are right though, its out of the frying pan and in to the volcano, just think Ings has some serious talent whereas Gayle's limit is much lower.

ElDiablo Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Not sure what to think about this. From a footballing perspective, obviously not sure what's going on behind the scenes, I don't think I like it at all. If he's psychologically hampered due to this injury, which is one among many he's had, surely that will be rebuilt with time? He can clearly sniff out a goal and if we were to get Origi, say, I'd say that limits our options rather than expands them, when we already have Joselu and Mitrovic.
