Dave Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Surely even we wouldn't sell without a replacement? Surely? My certainty about Rafa not walking is up in the air now, and it probably hinges on this. If they sell Gayle then fuck up the replacement - whether that's deliberately, offering too little, taking too long, all that jazz they're great at - then it might well be the final straw.

Hughesy Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Get a Rafa approved replacement in and have no problems with this at all. Something doesn't seem quite right with Gayle and there are obviously question marks about how well he'll do in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Surely even we wouldn't sell without a replacement? Surely? My certainty about Rafa not walking is up in the air now, and it probably hinges on this. If they sell Gayle then 'fuck up' the replacement - whether that's deliberately, offering too little, taking too long, all that jazz they're great at - then it might well be the final straw. My thoughts exactly. We did it well last season with the Townsend sale, where Ritchie was announced almost immediately. We better hope for a repeat in this case, with a decent striker coming in.

Guest chopey Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Total faith in Rafa he pulled Merino out of his arse and I'm sure he has a number nine up there too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Wonder if he wants to move back to the South? Perhaps Rafa tested his hunger in the first couple of games? Since dropped him from squad as he's not been happy with his application hence the 'attitude' issue? Seems plausible to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Movement out in the last week gathering pace, ££ banked from Gayle sale along with bits and pieces from De Jong etc, wages freed up. Dreaming of a beast of a striker coming in. Won't happen like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine any scenario where this happens. Even we aren't mad enough to sell our top striker at the end of the window unless the replacement is iron clad signed.

toontownman Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 So we get basically 15m pounds for him if true. tbh seems low considering last seasons form and other prices. Starting to brick it a bit here if this is true. Didn't think we would sell him. Fear we are confident we have a plan for a replacement that will transpire into yet more failure from Rafas and Charnleys side and shit eating grin from Ashleys.

I mean, we've done some ridiculous stuff obviously. But this just seems like a crazy suggestion... the only way Gayle is being sold is if we are bringing in another striker. Do you really believe we'll sell him just to bring some money in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 There is almost zero chance that we have a quality replacement lined up. We won't pay what clubs want for a good striker this late in the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
