If we go up (massive if I know) and signed him then there's no way he would be sitting on the bench in that division.  We aren't going to sign another 2 forwards who are better than him.

There was a point when Robert Earnshaw and Kanu were our two best strikers, but we still started with Horsfield and Campbell up front.

The best team is not necessarily the best eleven players.

Good to see him there this evening cheering Dawson's goal.

What became apparent last night was that holgate could take just as long throw in as DG, so why not have him in the area where is best and have MH take all the throw ins.

Surely, that must have been known to the coaching staff.

Well they will want Rondon and mike Ashley won't pay the money so Gayle plus £2-3mil will do the job. Need to build a team round him next year.

Tin hat time, but DG is turning 30 this year so spending in effect £15m on him is not viable imo long term and I have to hope we can get better value elsewhere on someone younger who has been scouted by LD and IP.

Rumours suggest others are interested in SR so hopefully someone like West ham, whose manager MP managed him at Malaga will fancy him.

I hope Rafa shafts Mike Ashley and leaves for Celtic as has been rumoured.

I don't disagree but it is moot point the bigger obstacle is Gayle's current contract which still has 2 years left on it and is beyond what we can afford to pay.

I think Newcastle will value Rondon higher so it's more a case of what extra we can get.  I'd even take a straight swap to be honest.  Yes, he's 30, but he's been absolutely brilliant this year.  If we don't sign him and assuming we keep J-Rod, then we'd be looking at bringing in 3 strikers in the summer.  I can't see us doing that.

I mentioned it in the match thread but his reaction when we scored was brilliant.  This is a guy who belongs to Newcastle, didn't need to be there at all last night and wouldn't have played anyway, yet he kicked every ball and the goal meant so much to him.

That's the reality that lands like a punch in the gut - we can't afford him.  I would love to see him here again but surely he must be a good punt for any team competing at the bottom of the PL who will take on the 40k wages as part of their Premier League adventure.  Look at the inexperience in Leed's forward line, surely he would improve their squad, even if not first choice every week.

Hopefully Newcastle want Rondon and it would make sense all round.

It would be fantastic to see him here permanently - but not something we should pursue.

We cannot afford to be paying a 29 year old £40k a week in this division.

This squad will need to be trimmed & our budgets need to be realigned as our income reduces.

Quite a lot of top earners will be leaving.

It could happen and we should do our best to make sure he comes.

Imagine him with a younger, more creative and more pacey midfield.

He should have had that this season.

We wasted this season really.

Trying to get promoted on the cheap has cost us.

I think we'll get him on loan as a sweetener for Rondon. I hope he is back with us next season regardless.

We don't get a say in Rondon as he has a release clause, if thats met then thats out of our hands, sweetener or no sweetener

Ashley has already said he won't pay the release clause for a player of that age. He'll be looking to reduce the cash investment.

If Newcastle wont, there will be clubs that will, Rondon at 16.5m is a bargain!

Has that release clause not expired though? I was under the impression it had a limited time to be exercised.

Not as far as im aware, only thing that may diminish it is the fact he is out of contract at the end of next season so if no-one pays it now then his value falls rapidly as his contract whittles down

It did and it is reinstated every close season. If we got promoted it would have gone up to 20m

Rondon has made it very clear that he wants to stay at Newcastle. You're right though, 16.5m is an absolute steal.

There were no takers for him last year at that price. Granted he's had a better season but he's another year older and has only a year left on his contract. Can't see Ashley paying out for him unless we can cut a deal involving Gayle. However I do think a lower Prem club will take a punt on Gayle.

Or maybe Fulham, they've been linked for a while and he is a Londoner so the appeal of going back down there might swing it.

I think he might stay, he’s built up a good relationship with jay rod and it is obviously he has really enjoyed his time here. At the ground last night (even if some of our actual players weren’t ) and celebrated like mad when daws scored. Classy twitter post as well 
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

I bet HRK was on his holidays telling all and sundry about his goal in the European championships.

If he wasn't fined 2 weeks wages for that red it says it all about our hierarchy.
