samptime29 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I wish him well for the future. That Championship season was vital for us. So important we came straight back up and he delivered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 We must have a new striker lined up, otherwise it just leaves us Wilson and Wood as recognised 1st team strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will sign a new striker I think, but this has no bearing imo, we only had Wood for the majority of time after January and when he didn’t play Gayle still couldn’t get a look in.

Paully Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I loved him in the Championship (he also won me a lot of money!) and he's been a great servant for us! It was needed but it's quite sad to see the ones who dragged us back up all leaving at the same time! Good luck, Dwight lad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Great servant to the club but arguably should have been moved on two seasons ago. I hope he does well and expect him to bang loads of goals in next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 13 hours ago, huss9 said: that's fucking crazy if its true. how can you take a wage off someone if you have no contract with them? isnt more likey he got a signing on fee to make up for his wage cut? Because you have a contract with them now. To incentivise moving them on, the buying club might pay 70% of wages, selling club pays 30%. The player doesn't lose out on wages, selling club spends 70% less on that player. It's fairly common practice when teams want to move on unwanted players on high wages relative to their market worth in wages. We are going to have to do this with a lot of players. A lot are on higher wages than 90% of Champo clubs can afford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Great Championship striker in his prime, but a poor Premier League striker, another who shouldn’t have been kept on for so long. He was brilliant for us in the Championship and vital to where we have arrived to today, good luck to him. I fancy him for at least 10 goals next season if he stays fit. Seems a top man too.

ScottishMagpie Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Will always be thankful of the goals he scored to get us promoted. Was a top level championship striker. Honestly thought he was gone after his loan spell with West Brom. Though didn't follow his games there that closely but looked like he more than proved he had something still there. Thought champ clubs would then be fighting to get him and he'd be fighting to get a move. Maybe he was too comfortable in his life at that point to try forcing anything... I dunno. Just think he's been too long on the sidelines and will have lost a certain something. Hope he proves me wrong and rolls back the years. Good luck to him! Ps. loved his going down/staying up goal celebration. Hopefully he'll fill his boots when he plays that lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Scored some big goals for us, like: https://nufcfeed.com/dwight-gayle-will-always-score-goals-23312 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Never quite realized his goal return for us post Championship was so dire, obviously knew it wasnt decent, but he scored 34 goals for us in 122 games for us and 23 of them where in the Championship.

Shearergol Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Don't rate him at all, although he had a great season for us in the championship. Still nowhere near in the list of our worst strikers in the premier league despite how awful he is/was at that level, which says more about the club than it does about him. Hope he does well though, seems an ok character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, for someone who was a finisher, his finishing was woeful in the Premier League even when he did get chances handed on a plate. Hopefully he gets 20 for Stoke and does well.

wormy Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 6 years, man. It's crazy how many years of apathy have rolled up in to one in my mind. Best of luck to a good servant of the club in his time, particularly the Champo year ofc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
