I actually thought Prossy looked **** on his, he clearly benefitted from some awful defending. Abel will probably come good, maybe even for us.
Basically with the HDM reporters saying they would be surprised if we had pulled out after talking to Bruce this morning.
I think the delay in the Grey deal is to allow Brentford time to calm down and take a reality check. They seem to be getting a bit over-excited and greedy, but the truth is they now have an unsettled player and no other suitors to provoke an auction. My guess is we will start looking elsewhere and Brentford will come back with their tails between their legs and willing to be far more reasonable.
Get the opinion that its Brentford who are mucking about and using their mouthpiece in the Mirror to push there propaganda .
Aren't they just trying to buy their way up the leagues but suddenly the players decided they wanted to jump ship?
You might want to do a little research on Matthew Benham, he's definitely not a 'tail between his legs' type.
Does this mean we have withdrawn our new offer for Gray and stick to the old offer or all offers are off?
Them stats that OLM quoted for Hooper are pretty impressive as I think most of those games will have come from the bench.
And not forgetting until Hernandez goes (if he does), we have an Abel. Just lacking a Kane (out of reach for us the only one I know).
Id rather offer jelly a massive bonus to stay then piss 8 mil on a championship player who might not be all that if we go back up! I've said it from day one!
With the injuries we get a smaller squad with fewer strikers and fewer options in midfield could be a problem.
I thought they had put together a decent squad with a decent manager and then played their way up the leagues - then, for whatever reason, they have let it unravel a tad. Money and ambition are very unsettling things.
My only issue is keeping Jelavić fit for the season, it's a long season in the Championship with a lot of cloggers looking to literally leave their mark on Jelavić.
Isn't that one of the reasons he wants to leave. I assume he has a release clause that we can't do anything about unless we offered him an improved contract.
