And if he is then more playing time isn't much of a surprise......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 17 July 2017 Share 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.

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

brucey Posted 18 July 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
