Gayle still has 2 years doesn't he?

Yes. Tbh I think he's a better option than Wood but for Bruce and Howe to ignore him means he must have an attitude problem.

Remember the "He's the saviour" comment he made when ASM was being interviewed [emoji38]

Never heard any coach or anyone accuse Gayle of being anything but a model professional and heard some footballer talking about him as a lovely bloke. The problem is he can't hold the ball up like Wood and equally like Wood can't hit a barn door. I used to assume it was differences in defenders in premier league to championship cloggers but even through on goal in premier league his shooting boots seem to desert him

Aye, I was expecting if nowt else that Gayle’s all round game wouldn’t be good enough at this level but he’d at least be clinical when he got handed good chances, but he’s missed some awful opportunities since we got promoted.

Clueless. He's had nothing but praise from Howe and has been noted as the best trainer multiple times in NUFC TV videos from other players.

It's probably because he is unable to get many chances he overthinks it when it does happen I guess as an explanation.

Yeah, but has Howe picked him once? Actions speak louder than words.

So he’s got a bad attitude?

No, you’re right there, would be daft to assume that. Either way though, Howe speaking nicely about him does not indicate that he rates him in any meaningful way- which might have been your point in the first place, to be fair

Definitely hasn’t got an attitude problem. 
 

Jamaal Lascelles revealed that Gayle was top of the “training leaderboard”, which tallies player performance across possession and small-sided games every month, with the winner receiving an award from Howe. If Gayle loses a single practice session “he's miserable”, the club captain insisted.

Canny start to pre-season with a brace. I know it's only gateshead but still a good sign. 


Yeah, good to see him getting into the same positions as he did for his goal against Palace. If he can do that regularly then he could become an asset.

It’s like he’s really finally getting back to being a threat up front like he was in MLS with Atlanta. His left foot is deadly, it’s about time he showed it.

Thing is, he's always had that left foot, I still remember on his debut how he hit the post with a lovely dink shot. In competitive games that confidence seems to just drain away. He scored a brace two seasons ago in a proper game and then disappeared for the next 12 months. It's got so bad he's become a joke figure for underperforming wankers like Jack Grealish.

Waiting to hear about how scoring away to Benfica is crap

 

 

 

 

*I know its preseason lads come on, but you have to give him a run at this point don't you?

He’s had runs before, he shouldn’t be our starting RW this season

True, a natural scorer like him should probably play at center-forward, and we already have a ready-made backup striker in Wilson. Sorted.
