I hope that if Hepburn does sign a new 3 year deal, that he gets a chance to prove himself in the first team, and does not just sit in the stands every Saturday watching the games for the next 3 years

Gestede has had one very effective season with Blackburn. He's extremely limited and affects the way the team has to play

If someone offers £7m for him I'd snap their hands off

I would too, same with Ayew.

Bit more for Ayew.  Bit more glitzy.  No more effective than Rudy just more flash.  Given the same amount of game time as Ayew, RHM would have at least six goals and assists by now.

Ayew strikes me as arrogant, thinks he is too good to be playing at this level, doesn't put a shift in & looks like he is sulking

surely only we would be stupid enough to buy Gestede? - he's not up to the Championship as a starter, let alone the PL

Tbf he is top level player and proved it last season.  The non passing is main concern for me. Shift wise at times hes got stuck in and gave it a go but agree he has a permanent sulk juat way he is though.  What i find most annoying is hia clear ability but lack of team play and goals scoring.  However hes been unlucky with screamers hitting woodwork on occasions. Move him on and bring in someone like Callum Mcmaanan  or Giovanni Dos Santos for the flair

I would agree that if anyone is daft enough to offer 7 million pounds for Gestede we should snap their hand off!

Not sure McCormack, Gabby and RHM going to be enough to keep us going in January though with our other strikers away at the AFCON so we may need another option up front...

Sell Gestede and go for Hernandez, maybe even Rhodes on loan too.  Shit or bust!

I'm writing to Santa - using him to collect up all the spare carrots he finds on Saturday night - then give them to Pullis as a thank-you.

How does he strike you as arrogant?

Very bored of this nonsense now. He always works (even if, lately, without much success). If he thought he was too good for this level, he would've stamped his way to a move in the Summer.

As for "sulking", who gives a shit? Since when did everyone on here become amateur body language experts?

The same drivel has been said about Andy Murray for years. And Stephen Henry and Michael Schumacher, come to think of it.

Maybe sulking isn't a barrier to sporting success.
