TK-421 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 £20m for Gayle plus Origi on loan? Would probably take that. Don't know much about Origi (if i'm honest), but is he good enough for Liverpools alleged insistence that he'd play every week? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Sounds like if we had gotten Abraham we would have been happy to shift Gayle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 He looked a shell of himself in the first two games so if that's the Gayle we're left with this season I'd sooner go with Joselu, Mitro and AN Other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Not sure how I feel about this. If it was the beginning of the summer and an obvious replacement was lined up, then fine. But a huge chunk of me thinks, especially given the recent Keegan/Rafa comparisons, this feels like it could be Milner/Schweinsteiger all over again.

Chrisjraby Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 With Mitro now banned, can we even afford to sell him? I find it hard to believe we'd be far enough down the road of finding a replacement to justify it, seems like another Carroll situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to believe we'd be far enough down the road of finding a replacement to justify it, seems like another Carroll situation. If we get $35m for him I would carry him there, regardless of a replacement coming in or not. Seriously though we hardly have a history of doing the right thing and bringing a replacement in before we sell. I doubt we will offload him tbh just because we won't get anyone else. Remy would be an equivalent in being knackered and hit and miss effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the kind of paranoid tin foil coat hanging fan reaction Ashley has created and loves to laugh at. We blatantly aren't in a position to let any strikers go unless we bring better strikers in first. *Edit* and I should say sorry for being an idiot. but as you see it comes naturally.

I just think some of our fans aren't used to the concept of having a squad. Having players fight for their places is a good thing, we shouldn't be flogging them precisely because we don't really have a functional squad.

Even with what we have got we are at least a striker short. I remember us having 5 which is really required, maybe less so if we only play one up top.

HawK Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think pretty much everyone that has said they'd be fine with Gayle going is on the previso that he is replaced using the funds created. If not then obviously it wouldn't be a good deal no matter how much the fee, common sense really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I feel bad for Gayle, He dropped down a league to help us get back up first time believing he'd have a better manager with him in the premiership Works both ways. If Rafa is willing to cash in it is because he doesn't feel Gayle will develop to be a better playing with him in the premiership or more importantly he has someone lined up to come in he thinks will work better. It's playing with fire though. He has scored goals in the premiership, just hasn't been a solid starter to prove he can be consistent to nail down a starting place.

Shearergol Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Regardless, we're now down to one striker for a few games, unless Gayle can sort his head out. Guess Rafa didn't pick him to stop him getting injured? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
