One piece moves, another slots into it's place. Only wish Gayle the best, he's generally been good for us when he's played and I think he'll do canny at Stoke. Not from a squad place perspective but freeing up wages might be important to incomings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s barely played in ages and has had a string of injuries. Can’t imagine there’d be a lot to cash in on / a lot of interest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) It's been so long since I saw Lewis play that I've almost given up on him at NUFC - but in reality we'd be far better off keeping him and seeing if we can get a tune out of him than selling him now. Unlike the other deadwood going he's still an asset to the club if there is something there - but with the lack of games and injuries his value in the market is probably rock bottom.

Guest Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 He did canny the few games he had before his injury from what I remember? Worth keeping as second choice I reckon and if he gets some confidence back could push Targett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was hoping he would be clear competition for Targett this year so we could jettison Ritchie and not have to worry about actually playing Dummett. But we've had 3 friendlies now and he hasn't played a minute. It doesn't seem likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can barely remember what he was like anyway and playing under Bruce is a hiding to nowt. As you say, even if he got peddled now it’d be at the bottom of his potential value. Does he count as homegrown? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 One of those who's been kept on too long but overall he's served the club well and judging by what Howe has said lately he's an excellent pro and has tried to help the group despite being reduced to "giving Wood a breather for 5 mins" at best last season. Really hope it works out for him, if he can stay fit and play 30+ matches he should be bagging 15 goals in that league no bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaxer Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Always remember fondly of him for helping getting us out of that shite league with its wank refs and wank teams. Hopefully he can still bag them in for Stoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’m glad he’s going and hopefully getting some playing time in his final years. He did really well for us in the Championship, but just couldn’t take make that jump up in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
