Lazarus Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Our strikers for next season in the fizzy perp league will be Gayle, Joe Lintone, and Carroll. Of those 3, who will score fairly regularly? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzz Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Justin Barnes has probably started getting involved and ordering planning for the Championship. Carroll will be next. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 20 minutes ago, hakka said: None. Injuries will blight 2 of them, the other is dogshit in front of goal. In fairness, all three are dogshit in front of goal these days. I suppose Gayle might have a chance if we just leave him in the box and somehow find someone to get the ball to him. Maybe Atsu and Murphy will be those players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 3 hours ago, hakka said: Keeping Gayle is clearly assuming relegation. You wouldn't even want him as back up in the PL as he has shown to be ineffective at this level. Very grim stuff. He can barely get a game despite Joelinton struggling all season. That shows quite clearly he's been signed on again for the championship. He'll get injured and miss most of the season anyway so he'll be sitting pretty.

Guest Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 This would have been the equivalent of Keegan keeping hold of David Kelly as back up for our first season back up, going out on loan for a season the next, then being knackered for a couple of seasons playing the Paul Kitson role as last resort before Dalglish popped up and gave him a nice juicy 3 year deal. It’s ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Been downsizing since the day he arrived. Who'd have thought running a club like it gets 10,000, makes you like a club that gets 10,000 Edited March 29, 2021 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Maybe we've had a big offer from Liverpool or Man City for Joelinton and we need cover Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Incredible foresight to keep hold of him for this long to ensure he's still here when we're back in the Championship. Nice long term planning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candi_Hills Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 So Gayle signing a 3 year deal and Murphy close to signing a new deal too. That seems to suggest the club have already accepted relegation. It's just baffling any way you look at it. Takeover on, takeover off. Why would Ashley settle for relegation?

Bimpy474 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 We don't play him as it is, baffling extension whatever the club situation. Well if Bruce is staying like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I don't get why you'd give Murphy and Gayle deals when you're planning to keep Bruce too. He's actively avoided playing them even when they're the logical choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 30. Bad injury record. It's a pandemic. This secures him a high-end Champo or low-end PL contract until he's 34. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Probably would've made a profit on him, or at least got our money back, a couple of years ago. Bet we'll see even £5m by the time he does eventually go (in the event he doesn't see out his contract, which is obviously very possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
