Those suggesting we should sign Jota, he's been ruled out for 3-4 months. Brentford maybe more determined to keep hold of Gray now after losing even more goals from their team
Hopefully but we haven't at present. I'm sure SB thought that they'd be gone already. Jela and Abel will also be on very tasty wages.
The big problem there is he couldn't get motivated last season in the worlds biggest football showpiece in front of the worlds cameras (premier league) so what hope is there of him being motivated in the championship when he is been kicked to death
Brentford manager Marinus Dijkhuizen: "For the first 35 minutes they were the better side and the red card changed it. It was very dangerous. "Andre was very good for us, a rising star, I'm very happy with him. Last week it looked like he was going to another club so that's why he said he didn't want to play. "The clubs have not agreed with him so he is still our player. He was great, the price will be higher after today. He is quick, strong and can score goals. Of course we want to keep him. "I don't know if he will stay, I'm not in charge of that, there is a lot of money in England and sometimes money talks."
Bit gutted at the thought of losing out on Gray.. Its not easy to find a striker who's young, English and proven at this level who wants to come to play for us. Not only was he in great form last season, plus the season before that... he's started this season with 2 goals in 2 games.. Last week it sounded like we we're really close... now it sounds like its no longer happening.
Not sure why the price would be higher after today. We are bidding for him because we think he can score so the fact he scores is hardly going to up the price.
Bit OTT. We haven't lost out on him at all, negotiations are just taking time. Brady took ages, as did Ince, but I'd rather we did this to get the best deal instead of just throwing money at it.
If we're dicking around with Brentford on matching their price, surely they can up their price after rebutting our latest offer/current offer ? He's more of an asset to them now than 6 weeks ago. Theiy are 3rd, he's playing well. They may well add another million plus to the price, what have they got to lose ? Lots to gain if they keep him. We may have missed the boat here. Would be a shame, but we have our price.
"The clubs have not agreed with him so he is still our player. He was great, the price will be higher after today. He is quick, strong and can score goals. Of course we want to keep him.
There's definitely still discussions ongoing. All we've heard is that it's a stalemate, plus with the Airco hearing will have taken up time. I think we need to get rid of attacking options before we bring in though. I don't think the Allams will want to be stuck with Gray as well as the high earners. We're in a hard position. We could also do with another good midfielder but we don't know what's happening with Jake and Diame now he's almost fit
We had the last offer rejected over a week ago, we haven't made another one, ergo there's no negotiating going on.
