da fazobetai: Newcastle United had problems up front last season, with Joselu and Dwight Gayle struggling to find the back of the net.
da bwin: In order to solve that issue, manager Rafael Benitez offloaded Gayle to West Bromwich Albion on loan and signed Salomon Rondon from the Baggies on a temporary deal.
Since the season kicked off, Newcastle are yet to show much of a threat upfront having scored once in their last two fixtures.
Joselu struck in a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, and none of the Magpies’ players managed to find the back of the net in a goalless stalemate against Cardiff City.
Gayle, though, got off the mark last weekend as he scored for West Brom in a 7-1 thumping over Queens Park Rangers.
Last season, the forward netted just six times in 35 Premier League matches, which was a stark contrast to his Championship form.

The attacker found the back of the net 23 times to help send the North-East outfit to the top flight.
Perhaps it is too early to tell, but did Newcastle act too hastily in getting rid of Gayle?
