If the bloke has any decency at all, he will announce his immediate retirement at the end of this season. However, he is more likely to keep taking the money for another season, putting in the same zero performances and lumbering us with the huge cost of his total ineptitude to perform any longer at the required level.

Unfortunately that is inevitable. The players have no moral compass and couldn't give a shit about the ordinary man in the street. They have no shame, no conscience.

I think I contributed more than he did today and I was sat in Row 33 of the Family Stand eating chocolate buttons. He walks like he's got a raging case of Chalfont St Giles. He looks so stiff and un athletic. I'm 63 and I think I'd offer more up top. Me and my mate said the same thing…he really does have a strange walk.

I genuinely can't remember him being involved in anything relevant during the first half, so thought he'd been brought on at half time. The bloke's done. The Opta stats might prove me wrong but I think he touched the ball once in the first 23 minutes when he picked the ball up just inside our half and had a clear run into their half where he was caught after about 5 strides by one of their lumps of centre halves and lost the ball. He was a bit better in the second half but in just over an hour he had 13 touches of the ball. None in the box. According to a young techi lad on our bus. It was a stand out hideous individual performance in a team display of total ineptitude. Closely followed it has to be said by Tymon. Both were awful mate, you are absolutely correct.

Gayle and Tymon was absolutely and utterly shite today. Gayle has an excuse he’s shot, Tymon was just pathetic today and I couldn’t understand how he stayed on the pitch Tymon is everything that’s wrong with club. A coward of a player who’s first instinct when receiving the ball is to turn and face his own goal and look for an easy sideways/backwards pass. Been here ages and is no better now than he was the day he walked through the door. His “efforts”today were an insult to the shirt. Spot on. One of the most cowardly individual performances I've had the misfortune to witness. I lost count how many times on receiving the ball out on the touch line he turned back and passed the buck to Fox. Shameful.

I challenge you to provide factual information in respect of his wages and scandalous lack of fitness. I’m not in any way trying to suggest Gayle has been a success since his signing, I’m trying to open constructive debate on why?

Gayle's salary was reported in The Telegraph shortly after we signed him. Repeated in several nationals: www.thesun.co.uk/sport/19953996/newcastle-100k-wages-five-outcasts-gayle-hendrick/Dwight Gayle - £60k-a-week Stoke signed Gayle from Newcastle on a free transfer this summer. The 32-year-old striker penned a two-year deal with the Potters after becoming surplus to requirements at St James' Park. But the Toon are still paying a reported TWO THIRDS of his salary. If you're after evidence of his scandalous lack of fitness, you could try watching a video of today's game - or any game he's played this season.

The only people who wil know about Gayles contract will be himself, his agent, SCFC and possibly his family. The club employ professional fitness analysts who collate factual data and provide such to the manager and fitness coaches. Perhaps they should take you’re advice and come to the same unfounded conclusion of a scandalous lack of fitness. Think about it, be a little more open minded

There's nothing out there to suggest those figures are incorrect. Newcastle, Stoke, Gayle or any of his representatives have not disputed any of these reports. He hobbles around the pitch like an arthritic old man, gasping for breath, always several yards away from where he needs to be. He gets outsprinted by plodding centre-backs week after week. If this isn't a lack of fitness, I'd like to know what other explanation you have for it.

I’ll hold my hands up I was one of the posters who was saying he will score at least 15 goals. So disappointing for Gayle, maybe could have had an extra 4 goals with the offsides but for me looking at him through the duration of the season he’s not championship quality now. Such a shame as he seems like a decent lad but I hope he’s one that we show the door to.

Why were so many defending him for so long? Wishful thinking probably. Stokeholm Syndrome maybe. He’s been absolute shite though hasn’t he. Hides when the going gets tough (which has been 95% of his time here). Comes alive when we need someone to score off his arse when we’re already 3-0 up against Reading or to grab a couple of tap-ins when we’re 3-1 up against Sunderland. He’s in the Dave Bamber/Keith Scott bracket.

A photocopy of his bank statement? It’s been reported in numerous national and independent media outlets that he’s on 60k a week, of which Stoke pay one third. Dwight Gayle has never denied this, none of his representatives have denied this, his mum and dad have not denied this, Stoke haven’t denied this, Newcastle haven’t denied this, Howard Gayle hasn’t denied it, Marcus Gayle hasn’t denied it, Gail from Coronation Street hasn’t denied it, as far as I can see the only person who doesn’t think it’s true is owdestokie2 from the Oatcake messageboard.
