xLiaaamx Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Does anyone have that money? He'd complete Leeds like. Any team wanting to go up who lack a guarantee of goals up top but are around the top six wins it with him up top. Leeds should be in for him.

joeyt Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I can't think of who would go for him apart from possibly Wolves for that fee. Boro have enough strikers and Villa have spent loads on strikers. Don't know who else could afford that fee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Would reject it unless there's absolute nailed on certainty someone better is going to be signed before he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Would reject it unless there's absolute nailed on certainty someone better is going to be signed before he leaves. I've got confidence Rafa could get a few good players with the De Jong & Gayle money if we sold him, even this late in the window. That left-back, an adequate goalkeeper, Praet...

Probably that he thought when he signed and took the number 9 shirt he'd be the main striker this season as well. 3 games in and that's anything but certain or likely.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 It's not Rafa i worry about, it's Charnley and the rest of the morons working above him. If it was just about Rafa i'm sure we would have signed more players and at a lot faster rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just about Rafa i'm sure we would have signed more players and at a lot faster rate. Selling Gayle would give the board something to hang themselves with. They couldn't hide behind the fact they've no money for players any more to Rafa or the fans. They'd have to invest it or Rafa would definitely walk, and uprising starts.

Shak Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Could absolutely see us selling Gayle with a replacement allegedly lined up and then the deal mysteriously falling apart on deadline day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Only reason I can think of him being disillusioned is if he thinks he's perfectly fine and disagrees with this thing about him not being confident in his hamstring etc. Otherwise he's still our number 9 and until proven otherwise still our best striker. Can't see why he'd want to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been main striker for two games and is supposedly Ill. We're 3 games in as keeps being mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlat Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Think Rafa may have lost patience with his lack of confidence in his own fitness. It's pretty ruthless, but if he can't be relied upon when he's physically fit, then I don't have an issue with him being replaced. Fuck knows with who though.

I'm not exactly sure that's a win-win if i'm honest, like every other time the fans turned on Ashley barely anything of note will actually happen. Rafa will be gone and we'd be stuck with Ashley making awful decisions like bringing Pardew back Sounds like an awful scenario to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joselu cost half as much as Gayle did, when we were in the Championship! Even if we were planning to spend big on another striker now (), as if he'd be unhappy enough to want to leave before it's even happened. Howay man, this is ridiculous.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Silly season in the transfer window where a player doesn't feature (for any reason) and straight away the media report they are unhappy/subject of a bit/moving to Mars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 No club mentioned as wanting to pay £20m for him, no obvious reason for him to be "disillusioned" and no name as to who would replace him. I'm sure a lot of good players will be loaned out over the next week. Will we be able to get one more "guaranteed" to score goals in the premiership than Gayle?
