I've just seen he's from Gabon, why Southampton want someone with that sort of temperament is beyond me.
Watford are close to agreeing a deal - thought to be worth about £18.5m - to sign Burnley striker Andre Gray. Watford have made some very good signings, I don't think they'll be in trouble at all this season.
BREAKING: @WatfordFC are closing in on £11.5m deal for @BurnleyOfficial striker Andre Gray, say Sky sources. Bargain. Burnley are ****ed, that's Gray and Keane gone (along with Darikwa, Kightly, Boyd and Barton).
Middlesbrough are leading Fulham and Derby County in the race to sign Liverpool midfielder Sheyi Ojo on loan.
I wonder if that means Gibson is likely to leave. But maybe after Ayala's blunder on Saturday maybe they will off load him?
Watford have had a bid - thought to be worth about £18.5m - accepted for Burnley striker Andre Gray (BBC).
I'd like to see Watford do well this year, a full season backed by (more) sensible owners, I reckon Marco will have a blinder
Fenerbahce are closing in on the signing of former Tottenham Hotspur striker Roberto Soldado from Villarreal. Roma are lining up a fourth bid for Leicester City winger Riyad Mahrez worth £40m.
I bet Ehab is pissed off with that if he had paid the extra £250k to sign Andre Gray that he baulked at he would have made a cool £10m profit Ha ha
Burnley seem to have taken a bit of a pop at Gray in their statement... "Burnley Football Club can confirm the sale of striker Andre Gray to Watford for an undisclosed fee that ranks as one of the biggest in the club’s history. The Clarets gave Gray the chance to extend his stay at Turf Moor with the offer of a substantially improved new contract earlier this summer. However, the former England C international made it clear he would not be looking to renew a deal which had just 12 months still to run. Burnley therefore took the decision to accept an offer from Watford and move forward with their own plans going into the new Premier League season. Gray, 26, joined Burnley from Brentford in August, 2015 and finished as top scorer in his first season to help Sean Dyche’s side win the Championship title and seal an instant return to the top tier. The former Luton Town forward followed up his 23 goals in 2015/16 with 10 last season, including nine in the Premier League and a first top-flight hat-trick for the Clarets since 1975 when he scored three times in a New Year’s Eve win over Sunderland. Burnley Football Club thanks Andre for his contribution during his time at Turf Moor and wishes him well in the future."
