Zero Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 That said, his missing in last two games did seems strange to me, together with the shocking performance vs Huddersfield. Even if we didn't sell him, I honestly don't think he is a reliable option this season anymore. No matter we bring in replacement or not, Joselu signing may proved to be the master piece. Hats off to Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I could only see a championship club wanting Gayle to do the same as what he did down there for us. Where the price came from and what clubs fuck knows? But I think the article was bollox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roids Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Crazy to even suggest selling our best striker after one decent result vs West Ham. Gold fish grade memories here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If selling him for 20m means we get someone else in proven on larger stages then so be it. Not really anyone above being sold imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Gayle has been crocked since middle of last season. I don't think he's able to sustain a run of games without breaking down. If we could afford to (which we can't) he could probably do a good job by playing every second game, unfortunately we need tougher players in our position. If we got an offer, i'd sell.. reluctantly.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 That said, his missing in last two games did seems strange to me, together with the shocking performance vs Huddersfield. Even if we didn't sell him, I honestly don't think he is a reliable option this season anymore. According to the club he'd been suffering a sickness bug when he played Huddersfield. If we binned off players after a poor performance we wouldn't have anyone in the squad. I'm more concerned about his mind problem of not 100% trusting his body has fully recovered from hamstrings problems when the medical says he has. I'd sell him for £20m if we got a Premiership experienced striker who was a regular goal scorer in his place (either on loan or purchase). Will we though?

Greg Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 It's not one poor performance though, he's been poor for most of 2017 following his injury in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 If there is an offer for £20m, I'd take it. But there isn't and there wont be. I'm not convinced about Gayle in the PL, especially if Joselu can continue the performance he managed on Saturday. Gayle falls into the bracket of 'need to upgrade' but he's very low down on the priority list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawK Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 £20m and then get in Slimani if he's still available wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't know about his state of mind himself, but I've definitely become a bit disillusioned with him if these comments from Rafa are to be believed about him not trusting his body.

Pokerprince2004 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I read Wolves might offer £20m. That would be a good deal for us, them and Gayle if its true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hydeous Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm quite surprised with the link, firstly, and with some being okay with it. He was one of our best players last season, our current number 9 and, in my opinion, deserves a crack at the premier league as our main striker when he's fit again.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I read Wolves might offer £20m. That would be a good deal for us, them and Gayle if its true.

Ketsbaia Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I read Wolves might offer £20m. That would be a good deal for us, them and Gayle if its true. Needs to hurry up and get Jorge Mendes as his agent, then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'd be sorry to see Gayle go, regardless of whether or not we used the money to get a bona fide upgrade. He did tremendous last season and seems like a good egg. De Jong, Riviere and Murphy all had to go, and they have done. It's a bit disappointing if Joselu is the best we could do with the fees recouped (~£7m) and the wages saved (~£120k p/w) from those guys. We really shouldn't fucking need to sell our best striker as well just to stand a chance of strengthening the overall squad. URGH this fucking transfer window.

Zero Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't think we will let him go without any replacement,or we don't use the money for other positions. That basically is to tell Rafa to fuck off now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That basically is to tell Rafa to f*** off now. Once bitten, twice shy. Ashley seems to be in the remarkable position of repeating two of his worst ever decisions. The forcing out of Keegan and the sale of Andy Carroll. I wonder if he has learned anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
