EPT asked for opinions on Odebajo on the Brentford board. This seems to summarize the general view...I'll paste it in since he hasnt yet.

"Great going forward, with pace to burn. Seriously, the best attacking right back in the division, after all, he's actually a winger.
Defensively though, he gets caught out of position, lacks experience, uses his pace to get him out of trouble.
If he could defend like our left back, he'd be in the Premier League already."

Also they seem to feel 8 mill. is more than Grays worth but with us and Derby apparently keen to get him they think they might get it.

It's not a myth that many of our fans believe there was a stitch up to reduce the sell on fees which involved the next day signing of Paul McShane from Sunderland. If that includes Matthew Benham then I assume he will demand his full asking price (£6m or £8m I don't know) for Andre Gray and no less.

£8m for a player who scored something like 16 goals in the league? **** that, would rather us go for ALF, at 500k he would be a bargain.

If we do sign Gray it won't be until one of Hernandez, N'Doye or Jelavic are sold, especially with Akpom having a medical tomorrow, alongside Odebanjo. <cheers>

It's quite funny that you'll still hold a grudge despite the fact our owners have changed and we're now being run very differently.

Oh and by the way your previous owners stitched us up over the Turner move to Sunderland. We were due a sell on fee but due to undervaluing and some other paperwork shenanigans little or no money came back to Griffin Park. I suspect this hasn't been forgotten by fan and owner Matthew Benham.

I wonder if your owner would try to find a way of getting around the sell on clauses for Gray (Luton) and Odubajo (Orient) given half a chance? He sounds a decent fella though.

Hull City AFC (GLP) called you a knobhead. I agree with him.

Really?

Well I blocked GLP for constantly wining on and on about who we'd let go, and who we should have not signed last season, and how we are letting all the other Championship clubs sign the best players etc etc .... but I see from your activity over the last week or so that you also think Allam should be doubling the size of the loans we owe him by handing Bruce a massive transfer kitty. Let's remind ourselves shall we...?

Shell out what Southend want for Bentley. It's a lot of money but I think he's worth it.

Get Joe Mason on loan from Cardiff. He's a proven Championship striker and would compliment Gray well.

I don't know why we didn't go for Moses Simon before he went to Genk.

Good player (Ben Marshall). Surprised we haven't put a bid in.

Bret Dilkington said:
I wonder how much Moses Simon would cost. He was class for Trencin in both legs and he's been class for Genk.

Remember Rami Rabia? He's unhappy at Sporting Lisbon and wants out, either permanently or on loan. We should go in for him.

Get in touch with Chesterfield again and ask if we can buy Sam Morsy.

Jamie Murphy's a good player too.

In an ideal scenario, we should try and get Nathan Redmond as part of the deal

Maybe we'll go for Demarai Gray.

No wonder the transfer thread is on page 300 already.

I want my club to sign decent players to get us promoted again and back in the Premier League. That requires spending money. I'd prefer it if Allam didn't behave like a slimy loan shark but considering he's a proven liar, he won't be going anywhere for the time being.

Now put me on you ignore list, ******.

From the ****wit who wanted to sign 'Greg Murray' from Palace. Blaming autocorrect. <laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh><laugh>

We have to be realistic about these things. If we couldn't afford Rhodes in the premiership then we can't afford him now. And even if Blackburn were willing to sell, there would be other premier league clubs who could match his wage demands.

We need to be looking at someone like Greg Murray who is likely to be surplus to requirements at crystal palace but is still capable of scoring a hatful of goals in the championship

I agree with this to a point GCTiger, but the 'if' is important. Gray may well be looking at the fact that currently we too have three strikers. If he signs and they are still here after the transfer deadline, then what's the difference? We know we know about our 'strikers' (and I leave Jelavic out of the equation who I hope stays), but that it might look very different from where Gray sees it, if you get my drift?

Since I would presume we would rather start Gray over any of the three who would presumably have appearance clauses in their contracts, he would still start.
