I have a strange feeling that we might have a go at getting Anichebe, think he'd be very good in the championship
The worst they could do would be to say no if we asked. A lot of those appearances were early season and Europa.
I know, but after hearing Pulis talking about wanting to bring in a lot of new faces, he'll be well down the pecking order. Potentialy a very good signing though and the perfect foil for someone like Akpom. A much cheaper alternative to Gray, could probably get him on loan with WBA footing a fair amount of his salary
Yes, he certainly would. I still think that we'll get him, eventually. He's good mates with Odubajo and Clucas by all accounts which should help no end.
That had less to do with them all being mates and the fact we were offering them consistent league football. They were hardly established top quality players like Gray, were they?
It gives you an edge over the competition as it's easier for the players to settle. I'm sure that there was a queue to take those lads from Man Utd
Ok. I think there's a big difference between Gray playing regularly and well for Brentford and Chester playing at a L1 club on loan.
Having mates where you're going can make all the difference in making your decision, regardless of level and frequency of how much you're playing, providing you can be pretty sure you'l get regular games and will develop & gain experience.
Naismith has played exactly 31 league games every season he's been at Everton. So far this season they've played twice and he played in both games. He's obviously still an integral part of their team and there's absolutely no way he'd drop to the Championship anyway.
