Leek Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The guys had 120 minutes for us, probably wasn't 100% fit and played when we virtually created nothing for him in 2 awful team performances. Gayle needs to stay, stupid to get rid, even more so with 2 days to go. He'll score goals and we need him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm surprised so many people are open to selling him. He was deadly last season and we need someone like that in the Premier League. We massively screwed up by rushing him back and further aggravating his injury and now he's injury prone? Give him time to recover and he'll be better than anything we're likely to buy. It seems the whole thing has been managed awfully from a pr perspective which is surprising. Lethal over 9 months ago, that's the concern. Massive injury doubt for me.

Bimpy474 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Maybe Rafa doesn't see him doing it in the Prem, could be as simple as that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The Guardian says our wage bill is close to £100 million !! that cant be true. In the 2016 accounts it was £75m, can't see it having gone up a third with relegation and selling Wijnaldum, Sissoko etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I really like Gayle, both as a player and a person. Met him very briefly at Bristol City away last season and he seems like a really decent bloke. No idea why we're considering flogging him, it can only be fitness related imo. The timing of it is odd though, days after he was dropped and with only a few days of the window remaining. I mean if it was fitness related, that isn't new news.

Dave Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Solution to someone with a suspect attitude = sell him and loan someone from Liverpool with 21 Premier League starts. :thup: What could go wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 That's probably not far off how many games Gayle's started in the Premier League. (exaggerating but still) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 That's probably not far off how many games Gayle's started in the Premier League. (exaggerating but still) 29. At least Gayle's done the business in our shirt. Point is it's a ridiculous gamble and a million miles from this supposed 'if we can get a proven striker...' theory.

Guest Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Gayle: 29 (37) - 15 goals Origi: 21 (30) - 12 goals Not too dissimilar. If we can get £18m or whatever, loan Origi and then buy a keeper, left-back and number 10 with the £25m or whatever from Gayle, Hanley, De Jong & Riviere, then I'd say that's a cracking bit of business. Just one problem though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxfree Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Unless we're buying a really good striker, what's even the point? He must have had some huge stuff going on with Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Gayle's done the business in our shirt. Point is it's a ridiculous gamble and a million miles from this supposed 'if we can get a proven striker...' theory. You could argue that banking on a player unproven at this level with fitness issues and a lack of trust in his body is an equally ridiculous gamble. But we've known that all summer.
