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.

He will be 29 in October.

17 October 1990

Transfermarkt and Premier League dot com have his birth year as 1990. Wikipedia (with reference) has it as 1989. Tend to agree he's currently 28.

As much as I love Gayle, iâ€™m not too sure he would fit in Bilicâ€™s attacking footballing system. He doesnâ€™t really play the loan striker role which I think Bilic might ty this year. In an ideal world, he wouldnâ€™t leave Newcastle at all, as iâ€™d hate him to go to a rival. My preference is that he stays at Newcastle and finally cracks the top flight, while we sign a more suited striker. Probably too much to ask.

You're right he was born in 1990, so will be 29 in October.

Morale of the tale, never rely solely on WikiPedia

I thought he played the "loan striker" role really well last season.

He's not coming.

He's never been coming.

The club have made no secret of that.

But if he isn't here by 5pm Thursday, there will be a massive meltdown with the club the target.

I think you are right, the media have fans in a frenzy about him coming back and if he doesn't, the fans fury will be aimed at the club and not the media

Again, if he does come, who does he replace? He cant play the lone striker role. Surely it has to be 2 up top, but who do we drop? A good headache to have but dont think he fits in with our team now.

He's Dwight Gayle, you make him fit into your team because he scores goals. Zohore can warm the bench all season for me if it means Gayle starting and banging 25 goals in.

This one hundred percent, a striker who doesnâ€™t score v a striker who does . It really isnâ€™t a hard choice

IF he does come back he might well bring the best out of Zohore playing alongside DG

Canâ€™t really see why people are getting excited?

We canâ€™t sign him permanently due to wages over the next couple of years if we donâ€™t go up. Newcastle have said they donâ€™t want him to leave so surely that completely takes away the chance of a years loan.

tucka9 · « **Reply #1040 on:** August 06, 2019, 09:21:21 AM »

People will go crazy when heâ€™s not here by 5pm on Thursday when we have no reason to believe we are in for him when we said we wouldnâ€™t be at the start of the window.

SmethDan · « **Reply #1041 on:** August 06, 2019, 09:34:33 AM »

And if we do get him some will probably moan (rightly or wrongly) that we've signed a player who can't hit the ground running as he's missed pre season due to a calf strain

What, he has a calf strain, Oh my god, what will we do

Avoid the Newton road on Thursday, the piles of bodies under the "high bridges" will be reminiscent of a scene from world war Z.

You have to love Albion, they keep us guessing right up to the last minute of the last day if we are going to re loan a player, and then splash out on a few million for someone like Sick Vic.

No change. Sources have told @TheAthleticUK neither Gayle nor Newcastle currently keen to discuss another loan. As long as that remains the case, there won't be a deal. But if that changes as the deadline approaches, #WBA would be very keen. #WBAFC

skyclad99 · « **Reply #1046 on:** August 06, 2019, 01:04:54 PM »

As others have already alluded to, when this eventually dies a death lets just remember that the club are not to blame. This story has been generated through the press, and only the press.

When its quotes from 'Newcastle', I think it very much depends on whether they are quotes from Steve Bruce or from Mike Ashley!
What's in our favour is that Gayle clearly enjoyed his time last season, and if it came down to him deciding between say us and a couple of other Championsip clubs, I think he'd choose us. There again, it probably wouldn't be his choice.

charlebaggie · « **Reply #1048 on:** August 06, 2019, 09:52:35 PM »

Newcastle have rejected approaches from West Brom and Stoke for Dwight Gayle.

The 28-year-old has apparently been promised more game time this season, with Steve Bruce planning to use him as cover for Joelinton.

Itâ€™s over, lads...😔
