Nucasol Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Gayle, so far in 2021/22, has played 28 minutes of league football and another 78 vs Burnley in the cup. Last season he managed 543 minutes or the equivalent of 6 games with one goal. He’s done and should be shipped out or sold to a Boro, Blackburn or Sheffield United to carry on his Cameron Jerome / Michael Chopra career of being too good for the Championship but not good enough for the Premier League. Striker is the ultimate priority with Wilson crocked as we can cobble together two middling centre halves but have the forward resources of a middling Championship team. Cheers Mike and Charners for that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Has there been any more talk on Vertout? Was very good at Fiorentina and Roma. Seemed like the Villa more was too early for him. Plus didn't have a great manager there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Those contracts to Clark, Gayle, Shelvey & Ritchie were fucking ridiculous, like. Probably around £200-250k a week on those 4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Bit anxious that we won't have a striker in for Watford. I know that's stupid to say, as not everything will be disclosed to the press, but it's hard not to worry Assuming we don't get a striker in, do we go with ASM through the middle? I can't see Howe putting Joelinton up top, he's doing such an amazing job in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Back in the day PEA was an excellent striker, but he just doesn't look interested anymore. The goals have dried up and he has disciplinary problems off the pitch. He's exactly the kind of player we should be avoiding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If PEA can't be arsed for Arsenal, why would he suddenly be up for a relegation fight? Not like we can even motivate him with money since he's on a daft contract already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thumbheed Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 The thing with PEA is he relies on service, and we've not really been crafting the type of chance he'd thrive from. I'd rather go for a striker who can link up well and bring others into the game a bit more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's over 30, has made all his money now cause of his bumper contract at arsenal he doesn't have anything to prove and it not like he saying I want 1 last move to win a trophy etc so his ambition isn't there so coming into a relegation scrap he's just not going to dig himself in imo.

Krabbe2 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 We need a goal scorer who can help us out the season. Would be stupid to have to let an 18-20 year old be exposed to pressure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 My son (follows La liga) reckons the Seville centre half (carlos) we are in for is an absolute beast and very quick. Likes a hard tackle and a bit of a fight with the strikers as well. Get him in!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
