Which is why you should probably look at Championship level players- which Gayle is, and stop buying "has beens" (Park) or "never has beens" (Jenas)
@MattyRangers- the only reason we have signed up and posted comment is because of the idiocy of some of your fellow hoops. Gayle is a proven goal scorer at Championship level- and is young and fast as fu*k. We took a punt on him and paid £500k and he penned a 5 year deal.
Why on earth would we be flattered by a bid of £1m plus a friendly?? Two issues...
1) With the obvious sell on clause owed to D&R for him- plus the fact you would be paying out a 5 year contract- we would only be getting a few quid for arguably the best player in the squad.
2) Our managers dad has been kind enough to get some proper Premiership talent on the pitch in friendlies in recent years- no offence but few players in the current QPR team would draw in a big gate.
Yes our stadium on 3 sides is a bag of turd, but for the premiership yours is hardly Old Trafford either...no need to trade insults there as both clubs are looking to move.
But realistically thinking £1m for Gayle is way off the mark...especially for a club like yours that splashes cash.
