Shouldn't be starting, but probably deserves a bit more game time off the bench

Who is the Gayle player that everyone thinks is really fast ?? The Gayle we have is quicker than say Murray but has not left any defender standing.

Jerome is way faster than Gayle and has presence and experience at this level.

As someone said, players always seem better when they are not playing - Gayle has had 2 good moments and has had plenty of game time - people have short memories. I wish he was a viable alternative but he really isn't - nowhere near as good as any of our other strikers. The best thing we could have done with him is loaned him out to a champ side to see if he could continue his improvement. He stepped up too fast for his ability and by doing that will have hampered him immensely.

No idea why we paid all that money for someone barely even tried at champ level, the poor lad has done his best but doesn't have it - not his fault a prem team paid all that money for him WTF were we thinking !!

You'll be forever in my family's memories and it was an honor and privilege to play and lead in the red and blue

Which he had for the first few months and he didn't take it.

At best a Championship quality player who has the odd flash of skill. Yes he scored a great goal at Villa but he does not put in a shift and his positional sense and movement are truly awful. His upper body strength sees him nudged off the ball far too easily.

Added to the above the way we play he would offer the team absolutely nothing. Jerome, Murray and Chamakh all fight for every ball and track back when needed. Gayle stands around somewhere and is never seen or heard of for ninety nine percent of his time on the pitch.

Gayle in the team from the start = guaranteed defeat IMO.
