Author Topic: Dwight Gayle (at Newcastle) (Read 236914 times)

Only in as much as I was assured that Gayle's wages were absolutely mental for this division. Not only would clubs be unable to afford them but it would also ruin any kind of dressing room spirit.

We can but hope.

Nobody in the Championship is paying ALL of Gayle's wages if he is on loan and we didn't last season There is a world of difference between a perm and a loan deal.

Yes he wants a min of 70k to go on a permanent but his current deal is 55k.

From Steve Madley on twitter

In short, #WBA can't afford a permanent deal due to inflated fee & big wages over 3/4 years, but might be able to finance a loan with options. Gayle wants a permanent move somewhere so he knows where his future lies, but if he can't get that by Thurs, anything is possible.

There you go.

Any of us could have offered that opinion. Does Steve Madley suddenly have good connections with the club now he's reporting on us again and working on The Athletic that everybody's going crazy for!

I mean does he?! Genuine question.

Brentford now have some clout to rival any striker bids we may be in with.

Very much doubt they would go after Gayle though, he doesn't fit their transfer model. Usually they go after foreign league players or kids in this country, i.e. players with resale value which Gayle lacks.

The main two are Stoke and Leeds. I doubt he'd want to go to Stoke due to their poor team - whereas Leeds have just got Â£7 million to spend from selling Roofe.

100% on Brentford,they wonâ€™t even ask

Leeds are pretty well stocked
Iâ€™d suggest stoke, Norwich ,us, Sheffield Utd even the B6 scumbags would all be enquiring

Newcastle definitely won't loan him out to a PL club.

You know its going to be Leeds,they probably sold Roofe with Gayle lined up,with Phillips,Edwards,Sawyers and Kroninvic would have been fantastic to have Gayle

Maybe
Iâ€™m not so sure heâ€™s go to Leeds and be a guaranteed starter every week?
We also have to remember that he may have had a good season with us but
*billic may have other ideas
*we still didnâ€™t go up
Gayle does not guarantee the promised land

If Bilic want's him I would hope the club would explore all avenues to make it possible without jeopardising the dressing room.
Are we sure Builic wants him?

tuamigos · « **Reply #1017 on:** August 05, 2019, 09:19:46 PM »

I don't think he's been allocated a squad number yet at Newcastle!
Stand being corrected if anyone knows any different

All player like a winning team, we could be one of those with what we showed on Saturday.
To boost his earnings he could come here with a possible chance of PL wages next season.

Dwight will be 30 in October, so I suspect his chance of big earnings and PL football have all but overtaken him.

Financially, I think heâ€™d probably be better off staying with the Toon where he has another two years left on his contract.

Fake John Percy has taken a few with him tonight on twitter announcing Gayle

As long as people realise that if we get Gayle again, its no good having a long shopping list of other players, as we will probably have used most of our transfer budget up.
Still, I've always said his position is our No 1 priority, so if there is any chance, we should go for him. I fear that if we decide to bring in another 3 or 4 players, the striker we get will be a poorer version of Zohore.

@TransferChecker claim that Dwight Gayleâ€™s move to West Brom is â€œalmost certainlyâ€ going to happen.

As we know, a permanent deal for Gayle is simply too much, but a loan deal with Newcastle paying a percentage of his wages could definitely be viable... 🤞🏻 https://t.co/2Z3f11hhUH

Iâ€™ll believe it when I see a photo of him in the blue and white stripes - DOH!!

I never venture an opinion on this subject. However, despite fears about his age, he still seems a right fit for us at this moment. Heâ€™s proven himself here. Anyone else would be a gamble.
