I agree. He needs creative midfielders that can feed in through balls to him. Ledley and jedinak don't seem to have that ability currently but the system we play still works so it's difficult. Personally next year I think it would better to see us set up against teams around us with a creative midfielder and then against bigger teams we have a similar set up.

I don't know if anyone noticed bit from where I was sat in the main stand I could see he has certainly beefed up so they are obviously getting him ready. Expect him to play a lot more next season in cup games.

Another reason why we'll take an offer for a player Tp probably won't play. We'll be £1mil x 3 seasons better off from where we are now plus whatever transfer fee. The problem is whether a top 8 Championship club with that wage structure want to match it, or he wants to drop to £15k.

1. I think we could have got Scott Sinclair, but to have spent 6 million on an unproven player in the PL was crazy.

2. Look at Ince as he's done nothing, except for one good game, but can be a good player as he just needs to learn, just like Gayle.

3. For me I can see he has the ability to do well in the PL and just needs to get his strength.

4. I think some fans expect too much too soon.

5. Then maybe it's best to play him like a Zaha or Bolasie?

How many times did CJ win the ball but had no one running behind their defence. Surely Pulis must have plans to make us a better attacking force next season with additional signings. I admit that if we are planing on playing 1 striker all season then he won't be of much use again. I think in the right team he could be a goal machine.

It would be extremely surprised based on half a season in the Championship however I don't have a clue. We don't even know how much he cost, let alone how much he earns.

I guess that Gayle has potential. It's just a catch 22 as to if he can show that potential enough to get off the bench and fit into a team where he does not naturally fit.
Perhaps a loan to a top half championship team next season until January where we can look at him in matches and make a decision to either keep and develop or cut losses and get rid.
Bannan is another one. Good footballer but not in the current way we play. I guess it depends on what the team looks like come August. A bit more creativity and a goal scorer and we could see both of them playing bigger parts. Better quality but the same style for next season could see them both move on. joniesta too possibly????
