No it doesn't but the comments he made at the start of his loan suggests he sees his time here as over, so what would be the point?
Also if Newcastle decide not to buy him it will most likely point to him having a disappointing season with them, why would we not try and sell?
Why would you be happy to have an under-performing player back?
Time will tell at Newcastle as to whether he is a success with them. Certainly the two goals in the last game have helped him. However, in the highly unlikely event that we do get promoted this year, would you really want to rely on Rondon up front for the new season? I wouldn't, I have seen enough of Gayle to think that he deserves the chance.........IMO having Rondon back would be a backward step
I can fully understand Newcastle wanting Gayle back, particularly if they go down, but if there is the remotest chance of getting him......
