    I still think there is another twist in this one yet. I think there's a good chance he'll turn Bristol Coty down or another team will come in at the last minute (hopefully us)

    Agreed...I said pretty much the same thing a few pages back on #9563

    "Gray still has to agree terms for the deal to go through. I can't believe that he is too excited about going to a club that Brentford comfortably beat 4-2 on Saturday, that are bottom of the division, have no outstanding MF players that can give him the service he needs, and where his strike partner will be the slow ageing journeyman Aaron Wilbraham.

    I'm sure the prospect of playing for a team that is a promotion favourite, that has spent four seasons of the past 5 in the Prem, that has his friend Odubajo signed for three years and where his strike partner would be the exciting Akpom, could surely match or beat Brizzles terms, and could well give him the Prem experience he needs next year, could give him pause for reflection. All we need to do is match or top Brizzles bid (variously reported as 9 mill or 7 mill.plus add-ons). But we'd better move fast".


    The fat lady hasn't sung yet. This one isn't over yet!! He's not in Bristol's team tomorrow so he clearly hasn't signed.

    4 out of the last 5 seasons in the PL?

    Apart from that I agree.

    Well 4 out of 5 does sound better than 4 out of 6.

    08-09, 09-10, 13-14, 14-15: PL
    10-11, 11-12, 12-13: Championship.

    4 out of 7 by my count.

    Still better than Bristol. How long were they in Div.1?

    Haha not denying that, 4 out of 5 just seemed a bit generous to our PL status. :p

    The whole double year (11-12 as opposed to just a 2012 season) thing sometimes catches me out haha.

    Can't coaches say what is wrong with his game and how to improve it?

    Straight line
    Net value would be £3m
    Those are the rules. You can't use a method that is not reasonable and they are the only reasonable rules.

    You amortise the transfer fee over the original 3 years of the contract. The transfer fee is written off after three years so there's no more amortisation.

    Stéphane Sessègnon hasn't been released, he's still at West Brom.

    Aye, I thought it strange, even though he's had problems with the club, but I think interest would be pushing at an open door - value is difficult, but likely within range. Was there something on Twitter, as it was mentioned somewhere yesterday?

    I don't think there's any doubt he's available, but they'd want a few million for him and he's apparently on £40k a week.

    Aye, release was the wrong term to use, I picked it up wrong. If Bruce can sort terms, which I think he could, then he would be very useful.

    So what happens when Jela leaves in a week and we've missed out on Gray over 500k?
