Surely if you sell Rondon and Rodriguez for circa £28m, you would be happy to spend £10-£12m on Gayle as he's the one striker absolutely guaranteed to get goals at this level. IMO it would make sense to sell Rondon and Rodriguez for circa £28m and then invest £10-£12m in Gayle and £2-3m on a younger player, probably from abroad as back up. If anything, we would probably see a better balance up top than what we had this season.
Unfortunately the clowns running the club don't see the value in Gayle despite the fact he's head and shoulders above the rest of the strikers in this division.
Josip Drmić is leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach on a free so he’d be a good cheap signing. He and Gayle as our 2 strikers would be good in my opinion. They’re similar to each other in style and good in front of goal, Gayle obviously being more superior.
Drmić hasn’t had a good couple of years with injuries and being behind Raffael, Stindl and Plea in the pecking order so a fresh start in a new country could be good for him.
