Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)

[HaydnNUFC]

If Gayle goes we wont replace him and Rafa will walk.

 

It's like a smaller, cheaper version of Andy Carroll. We will throw in a fake bid for someone about 10 minutes before the deadline.

If Gayle goes we wont replace him and Rafa will walk.

 

And North Korea will fire on Japan, triggering a nuclear holocaust and we'll all be dead by the weekend.

[timeEd32]

It's probably nonsense, but seeing some things on Twitter that we're ok offloading him as long as we get the original fee back.

Apperantly we'll take 8 million, what a fucking joke.

[SUPERTOON]

Apperantly we'll take 8 million, what a f***ing joke.

 

? where is this from?

[xLiaaamx]

Possible Rafa's decided that he just won't help the team enough though.

Just the same as above me. Reports saying we'll take what we paid for him, which was 8 million.

Thought we paid £10m?

Not a chance we would take anything as low as that IMO. We paid 10/12m iirc and i'd expect we're looking for a profit due to his goal record.

[Guest firetotheworks]

It was around 10 iirc, not that it's any less ridiculous.

We paid £10mil for him

[jimmymag]

From hero to zero very quickly. Ruthless Rafa!

[timeEd32]

From Ryder:

 

So far, Newcastle have not received a firm bid for Gayle, but it will take offers north of £15million for the Magpies to consider selling last season’s top scorer.

[Dokko]

Something's happened, most likely between him and Rafa.

[xLiaaamx]

He said he doesn't trust his own body and is probably tired of hearing it.

[Teasy]

Gayle is a good goal scorer when he's being provided with chances, but he offers little to the team and doesn't create anything for himself.  Thats ok when you can dominate teams easily (Championship), as he'll nick lots of goals.  But when most teams are as good or better than us we need everyone involved just to create chances.  With him in the side we struggle as a team against any decent side, create very little and that renders him useless, it even happened plenty of times last season against the better Championship sides.  For the way Rafa wants to play we need a different player, especially in this league.  Someone who can score but also has better movement and can get involved in team play more.

Good summary. The only thing we could do with him is play a second striker....oh god I said it. 

[Ketsbaia]

Leeds got £15m for Chris Wood - add a couple to it and they can have a striker who'll get them in the top 6.

Leeds would be top contenders for promotion if they bought Gayle. He'll score goals in the Premier as well IMO, but not with Rafa's system as it's being played at the moment.

[nufc4eva]

I can't imagine Gayle wants to leave himself though, surely he would want to compete in premier league, so can only think he's pissed Rafa off or Rafa has looked and realised he's not good enough for what he wants from him,or a new target is available that he thinks could lift us more.

Nothing wrong with Gayle's movement, comes short, runs the channels and spins behind, more Perez not linking up with Gayle effectively.

 

Oh, and he's worried that his hamstrings might explode.

[Teasy]

Its Perez fault?  Perez managed to link up fine with Joselu on Saturday.  Gayle moves plenty, its just not very intelligent movement outside of a good instinct for getting in behind a defence (shame we rarely have the ability to play him in).

I reckon we've seen the last of this fella.

I doubt Gayle wants to leave, if he goes it's because Rafa doesn't think he's good enough.
