That usually means that we have bid for those players (or at least one of them).
Brentford apparently want £8m for Gray, I'll be surprised if we get him for anything less than £6m
According to some people in Norwich the Canaries have written off what we still owe on Snodgrass. So yes it is a good deal for us all things considered.
Just what took the deal so long and has Brady got a relegation clause in the deal ?
This is football forum, a City one at that, if you want serious I think you're in the wrong place.
So they want £8m and you want to meet them halfway at £7m?
I think I know why he doesn't like students. They're all smarter than him.

I believe he meant halfway between £6m and £8m hence £7m.
I think it's fairly certain that a w/o happened for the outstanding money on Snodders, but it definitely formed part of the price rumoured in the press - that came from the one Norwich poster on here with links to our club who has always been very reliable.
Latest I've heard from someone claiming to have a contact (but no way of verifying and no-one else has backed this up) is that the break down was roughly £4/4.5m up front, plus a write-off of the Snodders debt, plus maybe as much as £1m. If the amount of the Snodders debt is as it was rumoured about half of the fee agreed last summer (£2.5-2.75m) then that would set the total deal value at just under c. £7m now and well north of that if all targets are met.
That could be a load of horseshit though, even if it makes sense so feel free to completely ignore all that
It's safe to say that many (though not all) Norwich fans think that you boys have the better side of the bargain here, but I suppose if he keeps us up and we sell him for a profit it makes no bones. We'll see.
Best of luck with bouncing straight back up

This is the problem now since Fulham dished out stupid money for McCormack, fee's have gone mad.
I've not seen £6m quoted anywhere (not saying it hasn't, just I haven't seen it), I've seen £4m and £5m and I don't think we'd pay more than the latter. £5m is a decent amount of money for Brentford, if we were shelling out £8m I'd want Odubajo thrown in aswell.
I think it was one of their local rags that quoted someone from Brentford saying they valued him at £8m, they'd obviously accept less, it's just a case of how much less.
