As I keep getting notifications about the argumentative people posting in this thread, I may as well ask the question, what's the Andre Gray situation? I read Bristol C had an offer accepted & we won't match what they want. So is the deal dead or still kicking in the background if we can flog someone?

A bid was accepted, Gray told them no he was holding out for us and Bristol is now looking elsewhere so it's either we pay what they want, they lower the price or he puts a transfer request in.

I understand Andre Gray is now expected to join @BurnleyOfficial after turning down a move to Bristol City. #AndreGray [HASHTAG]#Brentford[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#burnley[/HASHTAG]

Hmm - this guy's on 5 Live who are much more trustworthy.

Why would he join Burnley who have been selling their best players and are only 1 point above Bristol with far less money to spend on wages than Bristol. Makes no sense. He's better off staying with Brentford who they play on Saturday. This is a daft rumour that makes no sense.
 
Hmmm. Pot, kettle, black, AGAIN; a classical case of OCD, combined with an extreme case of transference psychosis. You may want to get your foul-mouthed "followers" to check on those for you.
I won't bother to delineate all the errors in your diatribe -- your little fingers must have been getting tired towards the end, not to mention your brain. I will just point out that the references to your "carear" (at least four times in your most recent tirades) may leave the few readers who reached that far wondering whether you mean your career or your carer.
Regarding my own state of employment, see your own post [HASHTAG]#9278[/HASHTAG], in which you also freely expressed your expert views on my lack of education; maybe you should start analyzing your own posts, however tedious and repetitive they may be, though I should point out these terms are subjective. What's funny to one person may be obnoxious to another, and vice versa. But, of course, you "no" that. And I didn't get to where I am today by not recognising a power ballad when I smell one. It's difficult to believe you're still wrong on that one. (Would that one come under OCD or TP? Or maybe BS?)
Regarding my best City XI, only a few readers on here would remember them. I would not attempt to rank players I've only ever seen on TV. And what's your problem if I commented on other people's selections? Very strange.
I'm surprised you don't remember some of names some people first used on here for one of our new players. "Clueless"? , "Ku Klux Klan"? But I'm not at all surprised you didn't understand the sentences that followed my introduction of the name "Calculus"; some readers will perceive that that joke's on you; some, like yourself and your little band of "followers", probably won't. You're not very good at much, are you?
And finally, Cyril (that will also baffle some on here), regarding the paucity of my comments on poor City, do you actually expect anyone to comment on a text commentary? I suppose I could criticize the spelling, punctuation, etc. Even watching a live TV program (which I do whenever I can) can give a very misleading impression of players' overall performance. I read (nearly) all the posts on here to get the views of people that were actually at the game. As do all the other ex-pats, I think.

I would like to recommend that all neutral readers of this forum go to your profile and read how your vile personal attacks on me, as well as those of your "followers", are almost identical to your similar attacks on various other posters. As another poster recently commented to you: you and your little gang are not the owners, or even anywhere near the best posters, on this forum. If we all follow your unsolicited advice, you and your gang would soon get tired of swearing at each other. Or maybe not.

I was right.

& it's carear.
 
He wants to come here. We are leaving his club sweating on the fact that our offer is less than their asking, but he won't agree terms with bigger offers. We have a little leverage and no reason to meet their fee yet if he is frustrating accepted bids by cocking up personal terms.

We need to sell a striker first.

It will go to the wire. Do we shift Jelly or Hernandez? Will they keep an an unhappy player or fold to our lower offer as he wont go anywhere else?
Or will a bigger club step in and change it all.

Tune in next week.
