Darren Moore.

I don't mean to take the thread off at a tangent but you both appear to be overlooking the fact Dwight Gayle's out of contract in the summer.

Despite this he'll still be on one heck of a wedge with a signing on fee, promotion bonus and future contractual wage increases (similar to those of Charlie Austin for example) on top.

I like him as a player but I think we may need to be a little more creative with our future resources and financial obligations.

I've already posted Gayle for a nominal fee might be a reasonable choice for the Championship. All I am saying he would have been another awful signing for the Prem. He is a Championship goal scorer but his Prem record is woeful (7 was his best and that many years ago)

What basis does anyone have for thinking he would have scored goals for us this season? One so far and can't get in a Newcastle team that has problems scoring even when their top 3 strikers are out?

Ditto most of the above with JRod also 1 goal and not first choice in a low scoring side.

Very decent return considering those appearances weren't all for ninety minutes and he spent at least seven games out of position on the left when Harvey Barnes went back to Leicester.

I believe that stats tend to show only matches where you’re a starter 68 so it may have been 39 starts but even so......he’s never going to feel under pressure from HRK!

Awful signing for the Premier - yes would agree for a silly sum but if Gayle is awful what does that make Zohore - HRK - and the departed Austin? Shocking..... From the sitters missed if it were a straight swap would have Gayle over Diagne.

Usually in life you get what you pay for! Who is better value for money - Watkins or Diangana? That said looking at this season - I would say loan players as you look at Gallagher and Okay and then look what we have wasted on Grant and Diangana.

He started 33 League games for us with a further six appearances coming from the bench.

I stand corrected 68.

It makes his stats even better.

Back to the original topic.
Allied Bakeries have called a loaf The Big Dave after Darren.
It's extra thick.😂😂😂

Sorry I just saw one of my memories on FB from three years ago, so it shows my opinion has always been consistent.

For someone to be so ‘dim’ and earn a good wage from it (which i’m sure would dwarf your pay packet), i’d say it’s not bad at all. I mean, how much of a brain do you need to collect bins Des?

Has Big Dave passed away?
