Even though, as you say, it's probably bollocks, I would be happy with that. I wouldn't be surprised if Brucey was having a look considering how much Brentford are ****ing about.
Brentford aren't ****ing about, they gave us a price, but we won't meet it. The irony here would be, that Gayle is about the same price Brentford want for Gray.
How the **** have you always rated him!!?? According to wiki he played 7 games in 4 ****ing years for Feyenoord.
For me Gray is significantly better than Gayle and I believe will only improve, I don't think Gayle will.
If Huddlestone leaves then I think there is a good chance we would go in for Forster-Caskey. P.s I would much rather have Andre Gray over Dwight Gayle.
A Gray mist seems to be hanging around the club on this one. The wind has gone out of our sails, low pressure prevails and all is becalmed. Plan 'B' doesn't seem to be in the forecast however.
Gray is still developing and we don't know what he might become - he looks at least to be of very good Championship level. Gayle has levelled out and is a very good Championship player and would be a decent squad player at Premier level...I'm a gambler so would always go for the unknown ie Gray
I'd take Gayle for the right price. He was only 22 the last time he played in the championship I don't know why people would have expected him to bag dozens. He is still young and would certainly score a good number.
Very Impressive poetic skills TC. I was almost expecting a huge gnarled white Iain Dowie to explode through the surface and plunge back under in a shower of froth.
Can this really mean that Sterling's been outed as a bullshitter, and that cruelty to whales was wrong all along?
Agreed. There's a danger in getting a player who has played in the PL and suddenly finds himself back in the championship, especially if it's not bacause his team has been relegated. In many ways that would shatter his confidence somewhat. It's a rare player who can come out of such a setback with rejuvenated vigour to try to fight his way back up to the top. Gray on the other hand is on an upward trend so would fight much harder to prove himself capable of reaching greater hights, either with us as potential promotion candidates or as a squad player with an e.g bottom 10 PL team. A much better gamble and upside to Gray.
I know you'll think Im doing it on purpose but really not impressed by the kid. I know he's young and been in the prem but feels like a poor man's campbell. He's definitely back up plan material, would take Gray over him.
