And if he is then more playing time isn't much of a surprise.........

lgfualol Posted 12 July 2017 Posted 12 July 2017 Inb4 Chilwell starts as our left winger vs Arsenal - Gray off the bench in the 89th minute.

Haha, yeah - ''hopefully he can get more game time'' 'Demarai, we would really love to get you on the pitch more. We are definitely considering it and it is certainly an option'

HankMarvin Posted 15 July 2017 Posted 15 July 2017 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/everton-target-arsenals-theo-walcott-10805082 With Yannick Bolasie out until the end of the year with a knee injury, Koeman wants a wide player and has also contacted Leicester about Demarai Gray.

sdb Posted 16 July 2017 Posted 16 July 2017 Big season for him here. Lets hope he's back soon to let his feet do the talking.

I think the more players he sees coming in on a big salary doesn't sit well with him (and his advisors). I wonder what his contemporaries in the England U21's are earning ?? Not justifying players of his age being paid too much but the market .............
st albans fox Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Does anyone think there is any chance that we would allow gray to go out on loan to another PL club (Bournemouth)?? cant see it myself but his odds to stay are almost evens on skybet - very tempting.
Stevosevic Posted 17 July 2017 Author Posted 17 July 2017 Big pay rise on its way whether we sell Mahrez or not....

Thracian Posted 17 July 2017 Posted 17 July 2017 Whatever happens with Gray I can see this being our big problem area when Mahrez leaves.

Agreed, I'm more concerned about our RW position now than I am centre back, centre mid or centre forward. We need someone creative on the wing to replace him.
Hitesh Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 This is contract extension has to happen even if he does leave in this window or next 12 months. Given he's attracting interest or that he's got a big important season coming up this contract will ensure we get a decent fee for him.

I don't think any players we have signed (or renewed their contracts) since we sold NG have had a simple release clause inserted. (in case of relegation excepted)

brucey Posted 18 July 2017 Posted 18 July 2017 Gray just turned 21. It seems to me that the club has a wage cap on players under 21, probably about 25k or so which is what Chilly and Wilf are on, I'd expect them to get improved contracts next year once they hit 21. Exception made for Nacho as it probably was needed to tempt him here.
