# West Bromwich Albion: Fans deliver emphatic response to Dwight Gayle question on Twitter

**Despite his goal-scoring heroics [on loan at the club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-gayle/transfers/spieler/196522) last season, many West Brom fans feel that they shouldn’t go back in for Dwight Gayle if they are promoted to the Premier League.**

The Newcastle striker spent the 2018/19 season at The Hawthorns and enjoyed a prolific loan spell for the Baggies, netting [24 goals in the Championship](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-gayle/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/196522) before [returning to his parent club](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-gayle/transfers/spieler/196522) last summer.

The debate over Gayle was prompted by [@BaggiesHQ](https://twitter.com/BaggiesHQ/status/1257743111897448448) on Twitter asking fans of the Albion if they would like to have him back at the club should they return to the top flight, although numerous supporters felt that would be a bad idea and gave their reasons why.

The Magpies striker has [failed to find the net in the Premier League this season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-gayle/leistungsdaten/spieler/196522) and has just [21 top flight goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-gayle/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/196522/wettbewerb/GB1) in total, while he will [turn 30 in October](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-gayle/profil/spieler/196522). In his absence at The Hawthorns this term, Hal Robson-Kanu and Charlie Austin have stepped up to score [19 goals between them](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-bromwich-albion/leistungsdaten/verein/984).

Scroll down to read a flavour of the replies from some West Brom supporters, with one insisting that they should make a move for Danny Ings, who has struck [15 Premier League goals](https://www.premierleague.com/stats/top/players/goals) for Southampton this term:
