I agree with him, now we have #BentekeMk2 Gayle would be a very useful back-up. Please no he has one of those faces I just want to punch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just about learning a system it’s about having players that knows each other’s game and feel settled. This can sometimes take time. Even more so if the players aren’t used to the league. However as you say hopefully we are in for signings that will be able to hit the ground running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent player and I sort of agree... ...however, he's a word removed (as is Maupay) and, for that reason, I don't want him (or Maupay). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made In Aston Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 2 hours ago, ramshackler said: I'm concerned that despite all the talk of mega spending spree, we are actually on a very tight budget. Wesley aside (we all knew money needed spent on a striker) our other signings have all been bargain basement under £5 mill. Despite all the links to Butland, Benrahma, maupay, Webster, Ming's, it doesn't look like any big bid has been tabled. It's as if media have decided we are going to blow £150 mill + and everyone trying to fleece us. Getting a bit worried. Of course it could be we just need one deal agreed to align our budget target and the rest will follow but it's a risky game leaving it late and won't help with gelling a very new team Yes we have spent our entire remaining budget on Wesley. We are doomed I tell you. Doomed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wezbid Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 We're keeping back the announcement on a few signings to coincide with the release of the new shirts. Targett was low-key in the grand scheme of things so got a lovely training top to wear. ITKDYK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 I'd take Gayle. £8m - £10m for a goalscorer is good business nowadays. We are going to need every point we can get, someone like him who could maybe come on and grab half a dozen+ goals and turn 1pt into 3pt on occasions would be brilliant. I think he could be that man. I don't see us signing someone who is going to come in and hit 20. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaFaninLondon Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Come on guys, we can do a lot better than Gayle! He's basically a Championship striker, never done it in Prem Would rather just keep Kodj as the backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The only positive about Gayle is that he would be willing to play second choice/sub option but yes I'd rather keep Kodjia for that. Maybe even give Hogan a chance as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If we even enquired about Gayle I would cry. He can get right to ****. Do not pass go. Do not collect £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The idea of signing Gayle is absolutely ludicrous. Far too old for starters. To my knowledge she's never kicked a ball in her life and she seems every reluctant to ever leave that street in Manchester. Avoid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
