Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)


Recommended Posts

Mitrovic and Joselu are probably 10 a season strikers at least over a season. We need someone who can smash 15 at least.

 

We don't.

 

If we can keep things tight at the back, 40-50 goals will be enough to survive. Easily.

 

Let's say it goes something like this:

Mitrovic - 10, possible because he's done it

Joselu - 8-10

Perez/#10 - 5-8

Shelvey/CMs - 3-5

Wingers - 5-10

Defenders - 3-5

 

That gets us 35-47 goals.

 

Stoke scored 41 last year, Swansea scored 42, Watford 40, West Brom 34, Palace 39. We'll be in the range.

 

A 15 goal a season striker is almost a guaranteed top 10 place if he's not the only contributor.

I know it will be said a thousand times but the ONLY thing that matters is that we replace him.

 

If we sell him and fail to sign someone else that Rafa is keen on, well Rafa will see that as thee coup de gras on any remaining trust.

Fulham's formal bid only landed on the St James' Park desk this morning. Not rejected but we understand they're looking for closer to £20m.

We will haggle on the price of this one until tomorrow night, leaving us no time to do any business. Andy Carroll all over again.

I can see this being the transfer that makes or breaks the board's relationship with Rafa. Surely he'll only be prepared to let Gayle go if he has someone else lined up. If the board fuck about and stop the replacement coming in it'll be the straw that broke the camel's back. We'll have around £30-40m in the coffers if this goes through and a decent budget for wages. No excuses!
