Newcastle do not want to loan Gayle out, they are wanting to sell for £15m. How long has he got on his contract, if it is shorter than two years they will not get it.

He’s not worth 15m. He’s a very good championship forward but can’t cut it in prem. 15m is ridiculous amount for someone who can’t make the step up to prem.
10m should be max to pay for a 25 goal championship forward.

You actually never know if they can step up because as soon as clubs get to the prem they want to spend 20 million plus on a Brazilian forward who fans have never heard of, and how many of those succeed?
Admire wilder at sheff utd for not going down that road, along with dyche.
Whose have thought you can survive in the prem with wood and mcgoldrick?
It's a team effort not just about the striker as if he can score 25 in the championship he will score in the prem albeit less.

1 way round it would be offer 5m up front an the rest depending on promotion or goals.

Agent arran to the rescue.
We never know what happens in negotiations mate and players do have a say where they go, they are the product that the agent has to sell, so the player has the final say where he goes or stays put.

We paid 6m for Grabban and he was same age as Gayle is now. Surely somewhere between 5-10 million is the most we should be forking out?

Newcastle have apparently said they want 15m for him or a team to pay his 50k a week wages for him to go on loan. 50k a week from now til the end of the season is still only around 1m! What other proven goalscorer at this level can you sign for 1m? Get it done even if it is just til the end of the season, besides would you want to take him to the premier league if we got promoted given his record?

Ff79 you are spot on re strikers. I know i keep banging on about the TYPE of player the club needs, but you sum it up with the examples of Burnley and Sheff u.

Red tech totally agree get him in on loan. 50k a week nothing to take us up. I’d also like Murray in on loan. Then Maddison. Those 3 in we could catch West Brom and Leeds.

If we loaned Gayle wby would Murray want to come to be third choice behind Grabban and Gayle. Peterborough will not sell Maddison with the way we have treated them.

Because he'd be "minting " it?
What's the fascination with Madison?
Not one club has put a bid in for him over the last 2 years? Why?
Ivan toney is coming good as a striker, but we have Walker scoring regular in that league as well, so you take a gamble and their owner always wants top dollar doesn't mean they will step up a league?
Zach clough is an example and when he first joined looked ok but faded 2.5 million gamble that won't be recouped.

FF79 I don't know much about Maddison other than his age is 26, valuation/ apparent buy out price is 2.5m and his league 1 stats which have been the best assists for the last 4 seasons.

2019/ 2020- 9 goals, 6 assists so far
2018/ 2019- 8 goals, 15 assists
2017/ 2018- 8 goals, 16 assists
2016/ 2017- 9 goals, 17 assists
2015/ 2016- 11 goals, 13 assists.

Looks impressive red tech, so makes it strange that a championship club hasn't taken him.
Must be something coaches don't like about him or the fee is too high?

Maybe league league 1 is his level but i keep hearing people say to look at the lower leagues for players. I guess we won't know until he gets to test himself at a higher level.

Although you will never know unless you give them a chance to a degree we employ scouts to access if they could step up based on the scouts experience.
