No it says he's been held back for 18 months. Which he was.... and he's now getting a chance but is clearly well of the boil because.... wait for it... He'd been held back for 18 months! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tense is important here, his on field attitude has changed the last couple of times I've seen him (that assist to Vardy when he could well have shot). I hardly think that article demonstrates that "he thinks he's better than he is" he's just stating that his development was stifled by successive managers, and I think that is the case. He's probably missed the boat on showing us just how good he is through trying to do too much "solo" work and ignoring his team-mates when a pass would have more likely produced a goal than his "row z" shot, and if (when) Mahrez moves on could be our only play maker. I just hope he does mature into the player a lot of us believe he can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably young and naive like we all were at that age, but he believes in himself and his team mates. Whether he's good enough or not you can't hold that against him. I was just responding to someone who wanted proof that demarai might think he’s better than he currently is. He felt he had a chance to get in the England World Cup squad when he actually currently struggles to start or make an impact for Leicester.

Not sure what agenda you’re trying to push but I think he would’ve got more stick than gray because his attitude affected his fitness and training. That’s never been questioned with demarai.

KingsX Posted 18 April 2018 Share Posted 18 April 2018 Can we please start Gray on the left wing for the run in. He’s played (dare I say it?) a little more intelligently the last few outings, at least created more chances than he’s wasted. Remains infuriating at times. But extrapolate that upturn, he may be ready to become a player. A run of five starts, under this manager, could prove him in or out. We don’t have enough complementary attacking talent even with Mahrez, we don’t recruit it intelligently, and Gray is very talented. Under contract for three more years. He is either a key player in the near future, or an excellent transfer asset, but worthless in limbo in between. We have plenty of time with Diabate. But with Gray it may be time to go or get off the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Grebfromgrebland Posted 18 April 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 18 April 2018 If we don't keep Gray after all the time we've invested in him he'll go and blossom with someone else. He played well on Saturday and is getting better. Him Chillwell Ndidi Maguire Diabate Iheanacho are the future of Leicester City and they're all young and only going to get better. The future looks bright but we have to be patient. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hejammy Posted 20 April 2018 Share Posted 20 April 2018 I thought he was one of the only players to have a decent game yesterday. He tried to be positive, drove forward a couple of times, did some defensive work and also made some decent decisions for a change. I think let him and diabate have a run of games together and leave out mahrez. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon this is what we'll see next season. I'll be interested to see if Puel rates Musa sufficiently to consider him an option (for the bench to begin with) We've the makings of a very tricky forward line, a couple of astute signings and we'll be looking more balanced and cohesive for next season. Gray, Diabate and Iheanacho are attacking players for our future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Gray, Dibate and Nacho those 3 could become regular starters next season, I wouldn't mind seeing Mendy back here as we haven't really seen what he is capable off not a fan of Musa if I'm honest, but yea a couple of clever signings and an improved defence could see us looking like a better team next season, whether that's under Puel remains to be seen.
