Guest neesy111 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 He's better than mitrovic imo but he's not suited to the system we play. No chance we paid £40m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance we paid £40m for him. what system is he suited to? A system that plays him in his best position, he's not a number 9. Needs to be playing deeper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Be interested to see him alongside Carroll, who can replace him as the focal point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 even deeper i'm not sure what he could do. poor first touch, awareness and pass on him. not sure who scouted him but his highlights on denniswisetv aren't even £20m level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of money laundering one probably. Yep. I can't believe people think that he was scouted or bought to play in a system. This transfer is up there with Boumsong and that Nacho bloke for it dodginess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Gayle might not get you 10-15 goals in the Premier League, but what a player like him gives a team like this is a goal threat and that is a hell of a lot to offer any team lacking in that area even if there are players stronger, quicker, more skilful or whatever. Give me a player who offers a goal threat only over a player who offers more away from goal, but no goal threat at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinoasprilla Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Gayle is fucking gash. Weak as piss and the heart of a mouse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Best of a bad bunch it would seem? Rondon 16m, pah, Joelinton has to be worth 40m at least if that’s the case... how many goals/how much of a goal threat is he? To be fair not seem him play, but by all accounts he looks like a 4m player not whatever the club lied and claimed he cost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I am certainly not a fan of Gayle, however he is a massive improvement on Joelinton. This bloke has hoodwinked everybody. He is definitely NOT a number 9. He and his agent have played a blinder. He has managed to convince Ashley, The scouts (cough), Bruce and sadly a lot of the fan base. Why any of our fans think this player is a centre forward baffles me. Maybe it's just me (and Rafa). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Be interested to see him alongside Carroll, who can replace him as the focal point. Unless Ritchie is playing wide it’s also pointless as there’d be no crosses worth attacking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Mitrovic is much better than this lump. It's not even close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Could have got Rondon, chucked £10m at the training ground to keep Rafa happy and still have £14m left over to spend on a good young prospect from Europe. Madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I said at the start of the season our front 3 will not get 15 goals between them all season. A quarter of the season in they have the grand total of 1 between them I'd go as far now as saying the front 3 plus Carroll and Gayle wont get 15 between them Fucking grim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why any of our fans think this player is a centre forward baffles me. Maybe it's just me (and Rafa). He hasn't hoodwinked anyone, we were chasing him for the best part of a year, in fact iirc, the thread opened with talk of him being a £50m target which we all laughed at. I can remember saying it was all a massive wind up or words to that effect. He was a serious target at that price, and Rafa's quotes back that up. Considering how loathe Mike Ashley is to part with money for players I'm surprised/not surprised that journalists, especially local ones, haven't asked serious questions about the deal if the fee was supposedly a lot les than the £40m which is widely touted.

LV Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The whole deal stinks to high heaven. It certainly wasn’t for the benefit of the football team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He's not going to get the opportunity to look anything like a £40M forward, playing for us. But that doesn't mean he's not the type of player that the likes of Chelsea (were they allowed) wouldn't stump up for. As somebody said, when this thread opened his value was supposedly £50M. Set by who? I know that reported valuations can be way off but they can also be spot on. There is every possibility that Chelsea have spotted potential, but can't buy him so they've got us to buy him for £20M with another £20M after 50 appearances. And Chelsea have agreed to buy him for £40M next season. After their ban expires and before he has the chance to reach 50 appearances. This would support the claim that Ashley has paid for this himself. Cunt probably hasn't even put it on the clubs books. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
