Guest Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Pretty sure instead of the swap loan with WBA a few years ago for Rondon, they’d have snapped their hands off for something like £5m plus Gayle for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'd still have him in ahead of Linton every single game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 We're actually debating who's worse out of Gayle and Joelinton. Do fans of other clubs have to have the same debates about their shit players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Not his fault we didn't ship him the moment we sealed promotion with Rafa if you ask me. There was plenty of money swimming about the champo then and we should have forced him out and recouped a decent fee instead of the usual bollocks we do to try and avoid spending money. Who knows if we'd done that then we might have no ended up with Joelinton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Page 4 before I could find his thread. Time for his agent to find him another club. Wood and possibly Ekitike (U21, does not need squad registration) means we have to clear a slot. Took us out from the Championship but another player whom we kept for far too long. Non-entity for the past few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I always liked him. Was stupidly good in the Championship and never forced any of the usual mawkish crap to try and win favour with the fans. He just got his head down and did his best. Lives next to my mum and dad in Medburn. Really nice lad apparently and should leave here with nothing but good wishes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 He has repaid what we paid for him. I think due to his pretty quiet/laidback personality and average record in the prem is why he was never really a fan favourite but by all means did his job to his best ability and that's all you can ask. I still wouldn't get rid this month but should be heading out end of the season for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I always thought he got slightly shafted bu Rafa - for me he’d earned a crack at being the main man for the first season back up, at least until Christmas. I trust Rafa but just thought it became too public knowledge too quickly that he didn’t think Gayle was up to it, needless knock to his confidence. For the present moment though it’s just a situation that’s gone on way too long with no manager or fan believing in him while he sucks up his wages.

Beth Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 He still has another 2.5 years to go on his latest deal which will be way more then he'd get anywhere else. He's going nowhere other than out on loan with us still paying the majority of his wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 A good Champo striker that should have been moved on 3 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Wish he'd been fit for the FA cup game. He hasn't had much of a chance to do anything since Howe came in, and I really thought he'd be starting on Saturday, was shocked to see him missing from the squad. Assumed he'd fallen out with EH until I heard about the Covid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I quite like Dwight Gayle and think he should have been tried more. He's limited as a Prem striker of course, but the key stat is how many minutes did Bruce play Joelinton at CF and what did it produce? I think Gayle would have contributed more had he been given the chance. We would probably have seen more from Joelinton earlier too had he been tried in a deeper position. It felt like Bruce was playing Joelinton at CF simply to appease Ashley for big punt on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMLeazesender Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 He has been a good servant for us and WBA. Keeps his head down, does his job to the best of his ability, never no controversy or bad press and a true professional. I wish him the best of luck whatever happens.

toontownman Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 On balance. He turned down chances to move on to sit on the bench or because he didn't fancy the Championship, likewise had that bust up with Jones earlier this season. Could be said he hasn't had a fair shake of first team games but he has also been crocked and looked no better than anyone else, if not worse when given the chance. Don't have any ill will towards him but happy to see him out and replaced. Three years too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew a move would mean a pay cut, so I won’t be devastated when he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
