As it looks like that we shall lose Wilf may I suggest we make serious enquiries towards getting Dwight Gayle back.
That t*** Pardew sent him on his away which was a huge mistake. Benteke was and is a waste of good cash. but hey we do have a good keeper now. Wan Bisaka must give us another season. He'll be hard to replace.

Dwight Gayle is a good championship player and that is where he should stay . I still don't understand why we have this obsession to bring back ex players . Do we have a good goalkeeper I am still to be convinced . No Benteke was not a waste of money the goals he scored in his first season kept us up therefor making us loads of money and I believe he is still our best striker .

With respect, thank goodness you are not our manager.

Benteke may be our best striker but it doesn't mean either he, Wickham or Sorloth or anywhere near the standard we require.

Our keeper is not a cause for concern. It's our strike force of Benteke, Wickham and Sorloth that collectively scored 3 goals oall season between them that are!

I would anticipate either Benteke or Sorloth will not be at the club next season, as this will mean two stikers coming in maybe one bought and one on loan, Dwight Gayle on loan for a season I think would be good, 55k a week not too bad, and maybe Newcastle may chip in

Personally prefer Neil Maupay or Che Adams. Maupay particularly, 25 goals, 8 assists and the most shots on target for all the big top scorers in the Champs. Played just down the road so is probably based close. Felt we should of made a bid when we were looking at the likes of Sorloth, who does now look like a panic buy. Would of cost more but a far better investment.

Agree. Wouldn't want him as main striker but would be a decent third striker. Certainly an improvement on the current options.
