Maybe if Forest get Vydra, they'll consider loaning us that Fryatt chap. I understand he has scored a few goals in the Championship in previous seasons.
Steve Bruce should take the squad on a coach trip on deadline day to the North York Moors and stay out of mobile phone coverage all day. The bus could unfortunately break down as well.
You wouldn't get a better Hollywood Script than this thread. If Steven Spielberg gets hold of it he would turn it into a blockbuster called "Jaws 1904". Hatpins are out of their handbags. Sir Cheshire Ben and Bengals Tiger have wet bootlaces at 40 paces. I shall challenge the winner to a game of Conkers (and I've got a 62-er).
Bristol Post reporting the Bristol City bid to be an initial £6m with £3m in add-ons for Gray....makes you wonder what we actually bid
i was asking about fryatt last night , never seems to get a mention anywhere.. id take him back here in a flash
Because he'll score goals in the championship and won't be on a massive wage and he did rather well for us last time?
That was last time i think we have moved on from those days and i don't think he would do a job for us i actually think he would spend more time with the physio's then on the pitch.
If we truly have pulled out of the 'race' to sign Gray then I think it is ridiculous. One of the main things you need ideally to get promoted from this league is a goal scorer. Gray has obviously been earmarked as our number one target for that position and we are going to be muscled out of the transfer by not competing and allowing a club with an inferior reputation (currently) to sign him. And that doesn't present a positive image of the club. Promotion is worth hundreds of millions and we are squabbling about a couple of million. We have the right foundations in place to get promoted this season and a goal scorer would massively improve those chances. Why, oh why as a club do we seem allergic to having a goal scorer at the club. By either letting them pass us by or just not even looking for one. The last ones we had are Stuart Elliott and Fraizer Campbell. They seem like the only ones we have had in 2 decades. I really hope we sign Gray because the potential is there to be seen and here's hoping we don't have another Charlie Austin situation on our hands.
The whole Gray situation just seems a bit of "mind games" to me. Player obviously wants to be here, and will probably force Brentford's hand at some point - but City waiting for that moment to come.
