    Reading the Brentford forum, they don't think it will be accepted. They think it will take £8m up front for Gray alone.

    I think at the moment we are using this strategy (bidding for a package deal) to force Brentford's hand. I'm sure we would take Odubaju on his own as you say, Bruce has been impressed by him, but he also needs a proven striker. Admittedly, Gray has done it in a lower league, but I believe Bruce has seen enough (or been given enough feedback) to have some faith that Gray may fill that role adequately at this level. Our negotiating team will also see that Brentford will need some guaranteed cash injection to complete their own shopping list. They've already spent a bit, and will need to spend more. They will reach a tipping point pretty soon I suspect We are using a form of leveraging here to get 'em both, with a plan B to take just one of them. We may be holding all the cards.

    Okay, in the game of life you two buggers are now classified as moving targets and nobody gives a ****; nothing the press writes will be believed nor will it be discussed - you have been warned! :police:

    Are the Allams directly involved in our negotiations?

    This is getting daft, it was only his first season in the Championship. The money would be better spent on that bloke at Blackburn everybody rates. You know, Corry Evans.

    They are beginning to waver and waiver. It's getting closer to a "done deal".

    The feeling I get is we are getting further away from a deal.
