But at 32 I'd be unhappy with anything longer really. He is a good player but we have supposed to have moved on from bringing older players on big money here for one last pay day. Only one goal in the last 15 months, so it may be a bit doubtful as to how good he actually is these days. So you are right we should never get him on a permanent. Link to post Share on other sites

He is definitely a threat at this level. I'd imagine he is just one of those players that get linked to any half decent championship team every window. Doesn't see much action and has a very good record in the championship, so it's an easy link to make to any team. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take him on loan until the end of the season, no more. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I'd take him on loan until the end of the season, no more. 3 seasons ago. Got 24 goals and 8 assists in 40 games. Overall has 59 goals in 100 championship games but the last two seasons puts big doubts over his current ability. A loan seems sensible. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,440 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I would prefer Balogun on loan over Gayle on loan. Really think Balogun could have the same impact Bamford did here. I follow Arsenal quite a bit so been watching this lad for 2yrs now and he looks very good. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 In two minds about Gayle, he's not good enough in the Premier League but he's always been class in the Championship. The problem is that he's 32 and has had very limited game time in the last 2 years. If we signed him, I'd fully expect him to be a dud for us given our track record. On the other hand, I can also fully imagine him going elsewhere and smashing it up, which is just our luck. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I have a simple opinion in that if he can't get into that side, I would rather he wasn't trying to get into ours. He might have been good two years ago, but can we take a risk on him? Has to be better options.. maybe we could make an offer for Je...... Link to post Share on other sites

AllBoro10 2,232 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 If it’s a case of getting rid of Uche and Hernandez off the books and getting Gayle and Balogun I’m all for it. Doubt it is simple as though but would be happy with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 What’s the news on Hall? I think someone said he was told he should look for a new club but that seems to have been a very quick decision by Wilder. Attitude or just not good enough? Link to post Share on other sites

AllBoro10 2,232 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I think Grant hall is to injury prone and I reckon he may be Available for a loan move come January. Don’t see him playing in this Wilder team. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Hall is slow, not a great passer and always injured. He's decent in a low block where he needs to constantly get his head on the ball... But not sure he'll work for Wilder. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,244 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I agree with that @SouthernSmoggie I think he’ll be kept on until the summer as cover, then he’ll be allowed to go. I’m intrigued to see what kind of progress Wood makes with us over the second half of the season. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t see him playing in this Wilder team. We need 6 centre backs to play this formation Dijksteel. Injury prone. Inexperienced as a centre back. Can play RCB only Fry. Can play CB or back up RCB Bamba. Ideal back up CB McNair. Ideal RCB. Back up LCB Hall. Injury prone. Back up CB Wood. Potential but not clear if he will make it. Very inexperienced. Probably only RCB Lee Peltier. Back up RCB. Emergency back up LCB Given that we don't have a natural LCB and it is unclear whether Wood is good enough to get on the pitch then I can certainly see Hall being offered out to make room for a left footer. Wilder has praised Peltier so I think he'll hold onto him. I think Hall has been decent for us; Warnock's system can easily make defenders look exposed for pace while Hall would probably be just fine in Wilder's more structured system. Thing is that Bamba has been so awesome that it is probably safe to let Hall go if a buyer can be found. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
