Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)


Recommended Posts

On the basis that Diame and Perez aren't exactly making the place their own, I'd say why not chuck Mitro in. He can hold up the ball, lay it off, flick it on. Could be a good kingpin for the likes of Ritchie/Atsu/Gayle to bomb forward beyond.

 

Doesn't have to be 4-4-2, just get him playing behind Gayle.

Whilst I agree, we're playing one of them in alternate fixtures and still winning games so I don't think it necessarily needs changing. Therefore we have the ability to rest one whilst the other plays and ensure they don't burn out or get injured.

 

In the event we're chasing the game and need a goal or two (such as Norwich at home), we can bring the other one on to go two up front which gives us another option.

 

I'd love to play them both every week, but it's a long season and we seem to be doing more than okay with only one of them.

Anybody know what was with the non-celebration for the second goal?

 

 

strolling? taking the p*ss?

 

Just seemed a peculiar reaction, along with the first. Had the Leeds lot been giving him stick?

 

I had assumed it was because their fans had been giving him stick about the birthday night punch up. It was even funnier because the way he was taking the piss would have made them want to smash his teeth in even more. :lol:

could be sold come January along with a few others providing we are guaranteed promotion

 

That's the strangest post I've read in a long while, why would we sell him unless someone came in with a 30 million bid or something and no one is going to do that ?

Highly doubt we'll do that. Plus, Gayle's goal record for Palace was very good considering he was never given a run in the side, played out wide and as a sub a lot by their braindead procession of managers.

Could see Rafa bringing in someone in the summer and dropping Gayle to back up, as Keegan did when we went up replacing Kelly and Peacock with Cole and Beardsley. Can't see Gayle or Mitro being first choice if we go back up, but would be surprised if Gayle were sold at all either in Jan or the summer. He's proven to be a perfectly capable squad player in the prem.

Agreed. We might well be in the market for a proven striker when we go up, but there's every chance Gayle will be hitting goals at that level as well if you go by his limited opportunities under Pardew. It would be daft to discard him without giving him a chance.

I am guessing the thinking behind this is - Gayle will not be as prolific in the PL and we could sell him for a good price. Then put that money towards somebody with a better record at the top level?

 

:dontknow:

 

His goals per minutes record in the top flight is superb - I'm sure it's 1 every 180 minutes!
