Dwight Gayle was ruled out of the running yesterday along with Hugill as both way over priced. £20m for Gayle who is obviously a Championship player only as he will never score in the Prem. Proves the point about UK player prices being stupid
I'm finding this comment hard to understand. Firstly I'm not arguing the fact UK players are over priced but let's look at some facts.
Gayle can go for £18m the reported price we got for Wood. Question one is who is the better player, Gayle or Wood?
Secondly why can't he score at PL level, he did okay for Palace but was hampered by injury.
Why is Lasogga a better player, what facts or stats are these based on? A player on loan for 12 months is better than a proven player at this level?
25 goals in 25 appearances the last time at our level.
Not entirely true or very twisted

Scored 25 in 25 for the U19 Bundesliga West division, not really this level is it?
Gets transfer to top league scores 5 in 7 gets injured and is out for all that season and into next season.
Preseason friendlies, we have no idea how good the opposition was...
I'm not trying to bash, just pointing out there are two ways to look at stats, I just think we should wait and see before claiming he is going to walk us into the PL
