Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)


Recommended Posts

Mad how much some people hate him.

 

I hate watching him play for us, that’s all.

 

Yeah, nowt against Dwighty, but as a player I couldn't bare watching him for most of last season. Even more frustrating than Joselu for me given that he actually got himself into decent positions and completely wasted chances time after time with poor first touches and finishing.

 

Just one of those players I never quite clicked with, which is rare because I tend to like most players who pull on our shirt. I always felt his head went down far too quickly too, but maybe it's just his natural demeanour and I'm getting him wrong.

I like him, he lost confidence last season through all the chances he missed. We’d definitely be better off keeping him IMO, but I know we’re only allowed one striker in the squad.

 

For me, if we're to have Rondon, Muto & one of Gayle or Joselu, I'd actually go Joselu as he's a good option to bring in to help close games out. As limited as he is, he's quite dependable, combative and can be very good in the air. I'm not sure what use we would have for a player like Gayle if Muto is the player we're expecting.

Ugliest human I've ever seen, compounds his ugliness with his appalling hair choices.

 

Good riddance.

 

:lol:

 

On a totally unrelated note, his brother was in my year at school. He was abhorrent. Lasting memory of that scum bag was in a school PE lesson when I was clean through on goal with no keeper to beat and the cunt just came up behind and jacked my legs away. Wanker.

Of all our players I’d back Gayle in front of goal more than the rest, although last season he looked shot confidence wise and seemed to be trying too hard which meant he missed a lot of chances he should be putting away. He’s not the best player, but he gives the team something that helps us a great deal when he is playing well like he did at home to Arsenal. If he put a few of his chances away last season, he would be worth a fortune now.

 

But we still have Josleu... :lol:

No chance. Perez is definitely a better finisher.

I’d say he scores better goals, I wouldn't say he is a better finisher. He too missed some very good chances.

 

If both could finish at this level though...

I disagree, Perez has much better technique.

 

At putting away moves I’d agree, one on one or with the goal at his mercy I’d fancy him to fluff his lines more than Gayle.

Fair play man  :)

 

Sadly they are both not the best of players. I like Perez though, if only he was a tad quicker and stronger. I do think he tries too hard too or expends a lot of energy which makes him look like a bit of a plodder. He’s technically very good. I know he has to graft in Rafa’s system as the team needs that, but he has certain qualities that quality players have. We just don’t see much of it or only in flashes which is frustrating, especially when he falls over the ball, runs it our of play or gets knocked off the ball so easily. I do think Rondon would be a great foil for him though, potentially anyway.

Agree with your points. I'm a proper Perez fanboy though, have been since he arrived here. He just has that technique that's a joy to watch when he's on his game, which when coupled with his rare work rate for the type of player he is, I rank him as considerably superior and more important to the team than Gayle.

He is, but  Gayle is more of a natural poacher, and he gets in goalscoring positions more often. I don't agree with the theory that he's lost something, I reckon he could easily score a hatful next season...providing he stays fit.
