TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I don't think Gayle is as bad at Premier League level as he's made out to be, it's his injuries that are a bigger issue If he'd made as many starts as Joelinton for instance, I think he'd get at least 10 goals.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 You could stay up with Gayle as long as he plays enough games. He's OK at scoring goals. He is a poor option compared to the real PL standard, but we all know those standards don't apply to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which barring Carrolls purple patch before moving to Liverpool and is still better than the rest of our current strike force combined. Totally prepared to be corrected but wasn't it something like Muto 2, Joelinton 2, and Almiron 3? And that's only if you see Almiron as a striker, but i always thought he was more of an attacking midfielder. Wow that's properly grim That aside, he did ok in the post lockdown matches, got a few goals which mattered, but still shouldn't be first choice for any respectable PL side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Gayle is a dismal option at this level. He takes about four or five chances to actually score and doesn't have any remarkable attributes to the rest of his game. He's a likeable guy and his contribution in his first tweet seasons was absolutely vital (particularly in the Championship obviously), but to say he's 'never let us down' is very kind imo. The fact he's still arguably out best striker is one massive reason why we're going to be middling between 12th-17th again next season. Exactly.

Guest Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 He should be 3rd choice. Carroll shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad and Joelinton needs shipped out. The fact we’re going into a season with those 3 again is scary. Literally the only hope is if something clicks for Joelinton out of nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 If Ritchie was considered important enough for a new deal surely Gayle will get one. Ritchie isn't a crock who misses big chunks of the season. He's actually a good signing if your only aim is to avoid relegation. Gayle might be worth keeping around to the end of his contract considering the state of our current striking options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 We don't need centre halves but he would actually be very good for Bruceball. Potter just doesn't like him because he's not great on the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Don't think Bruce understands that his 'war chest' (however much it is) has to cover wages for the duration of theif contracts, as well as all associated fees. He must think if he signs loads if loans/frees, then he still has his full chest to do some 'proper transfers'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
