The College Dropout Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Gayle and Mitro would bag 20+ goals given a full season in the Championship. Or close to it. Wor Joselu? Nope. Nah. No. A dozen perhaps, most being headers. Although maybe with confidence he could do better. It's confidence that's gotten to Gayle this season. I reckon he could grab 12-15 goals with a back wind. But in the PL he won't get the opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think Joselu would get a decent amount in the Champ, maybe not 20. Like you say, Gayle has some PL potential. It just hasn't quite worked out for him yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 We should get nearer £40m. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Plenty of go-down-soft players get given penalties. We don't get them for the same reason we never play against 10 men. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Been given 1 penalty all season it’s beyond a joke. Gayle is also wank as fuck. I love his effort and commitment but by god we need an entire new striker line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Gayle seems to get in the right positions and make chances for himself, just cannot finish. Striker and nº10 would transform this team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 i remember even though he was on fire last season we had the game at Hull in the cup who were a premier league side back then, he played 120 minutes and was a disaster, that was a good sign that we needed to replace him with someone better the minute we get up.

triggs Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Need an upgrade definitely but hope it's someone that makes similar runs to him that we get. Even though his finishing has been terrible, a lot of our chances are coming from Shelvey picking him out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though his finishing has been terrible, a lot of our chances are coming from Shelvey picking him out That is a very good point. Shelvey seems to instinctively know where Gayle will be, he needs him in the team to play at a level we need him to. With any new striker that comes in there will be a period to adapt if Shelvey is still the driving force behind our attacking play next season (I'm not convinced he will be).

Nattfare Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Sadly Gayle's technique lets him down a bit too. He needs too many touches to control the ball when Shelvey finds his runs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Did they even replay that wanky left-footed effort? Looked like his first touch was decent. Was a superb touch to control it, real sublime-to-the-ridiculous stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The shot was pathetic. The equivalent of backing out of a tackle or not tracking back and letting the full-back fly past you. Was just laziness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Perez hit an appalling one as well, he always fluffs it when he tries the placement... much better when he only has a second to hit it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Imagine being 10th in the league with Gayle, Perez and Joselu as the three people who've spearheaded your attack all year. #BestLeagueInDaWorld I don't mind Gayle at all, to be honest. His movement is great but it's clear his confidence is absolutely shot and has been for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I like him as well, I do think he has potential to play in this league better than he is at the moment. If we’re clearing out strikers he’s probably the one I’d like to keep the most. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
