I’m not sure anyone would pay much for him. Especially as he is technically speaking available as a free agent. Just approach his agent and offer him 50k a week and he’s gone. Why wait for him to sign a 3 year contract and then lay upwards of £5m?
Anyone thinking he's been kept as anything other than a cheap option because we can't/won't be signing many players is off their ****ing nut.
Why are people stressing about Gayle? We have Wilson and now Gayle. We still need two more regardless of takeover.
do we actually have Gayle? Consensus on social media (possibly wishful thinking) is that he was offered a deal but not yet signed - hence discussions re Josh King. If Gayle signs then we can at least command some nominal fee for him in the event he does go, thereby adding to the coffers Think I'd prefer King over Gayle if the above is true
So our strikers 1st choice Callum Wilson 2nd choice Available 3rd choice Available 4th choice Dwight Gayle Genuinely do not get the moan
You don't spunk £50k pw on an utterly **** player like Gayle. You find better. You also don't do anything if you're so confident of a takeover. Worrying.
You don't start a new season with 1 striker. From what I recall we'll still have a limit transfer fund even with a takeover. Buying 2/3 strikers would take a massive bite out of that. The club are doing the right thing....... ...... For a change
Fair points, DPP. Still amazed that even our ****hole of a club has has 2 strikers for last season and will almost certainly start next season with the same two.
only a few days ago you all declared it was a dome deal simply because of the sun reporting Mike ashley was 'certain' the green light would be given. I said I wasn't convinced, that we can't be sure and as always was ridiculed for holding a perfectly rational position. The thing is if Mike's so certain then why is the club preparing for a future with Ashley?
