Shearergol Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Then again there was that lass from Wolves who reckoned he stormed out of training etc because we refused to let him go there. Someone on twitter was claiming we're likely to sell him before the window shuts, claimed to know him. I'll see if I can find it again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Should be playing tomorrow, as a few of my mates who are close to him have gone up for the game/weekend and they only go if he's playing (not Newcastle fans). ITK Maybe they're sitting with him? Yeah apologies I got this wrong, maybe should have asked before commenting. They've gone up to spend time with him his family, I've asked about what's wrong him Dwight and been told it's a hamstring problem. I'm not claiming to be ITK just passing on what I've been told by a friend who is close to Dwight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Rafa's quotes make it sound like he's lost confidence in his own body. Not good. It was the same with him towards the end of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Disastrous for our season if Gayle isn't ready. If that's the case we really need to drop £20m on a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Disastrous for our season if Gayle isn't ready. If that's the case we really need to drop £20m on a striker. It's not a disaster if he's not ready. Depends how 'not ready' he is. Crazy as it may sound I think we'd do better against Spurs with Mitro and Perez up top, anyway. Then it's Huddersfield and whilst Gayle would likely destroy them, we should still have enough. If this squad is supposed to be good enough. Maybe a sub appearance against Hudders then a proper runout in the Rumbelows Cup and he'll be ready for West Ham? Having said all that, we do need a back up, for Gayle. And his unreadiness should certainly serve as a gentle reminder of this fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Same problems he had at CP. I think that's why he spent most of his time there as an impact sub. Worrying really with no suitable replacement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying really with no suitable replacement Gayle will be a massive asset for Newcastle, he's not the problem. The problem is not having another striker of Premier class who can share the role with him this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 If we have to rely on that fucking carthorse Mitrovic to score us goals due to Gayle spending time out injured we may as well just throw the towel in now Hello championship my old friend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Thoughts on him then? I thought that despite clearly not being 100% yet the movement was still good and he could have had a penalty if He'd ran a split second later. Think just like last season the more he plays the better he'll get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The hoofing to him was a bit weird, but it feels like we've been doing that for a decade now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Looked unfit I thought. Second half he was isolated, didn't hold the ball up any. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He was awful today, if he doesn't get the service he's simply a passenger, he didn't get any service. He offers nothing in terms of hold or link up play. Clearly not fit, perhaps would have been better to start Mitro and bringing Gayle on for the last 30 or something.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Agree, but then again he did get in a couple of times and could have scored. We were unlucky that we couldn't bring on Mitro as well, he's probably better as a sub himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 i dont think he is good enough to play as a lone striker. Thank god we are monitoring Joselu with the chance of signing him for 4 million and a packet of pork scratchings. Going to be a long season.......

He offers nothing in terms of hold or link up play. Clearly not fit, perhaps would have been better to start Mitro and bringing Gayle on for the last 30 or something. He normally does a lot. You could tell he wasn't right today. It is mental more than anything. He will be like this for a few games until he gains a bit of confidence around injuries in my opinion.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 He's been injured, I'm not going to criticise him at this point, but there were a couple of moments (not anticipating Atsu's ball to him on the break and not getting in a good position when Atsu put in a cross) that felt very un-Gayle-like.

Jayson Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Dunno if it was just me but he looked like he was really having to work to run if that makes sense. One moment first half where he was chasing down the keeper first & it looked a proper effort but he really wasn't moving quickly. Maybe just fitness?

One moment first half where he was chasing down the keeper first & it looked a proper effort but he really wasn't moving quickly. Maybe just fitness? I said it in the match thread. But for me, this relates back to Rafa saying that Gayle doesn't trust his own hamstrings anymore. He's scared to give 100% incase he pulls up.
