5waller5 Posted 23 August 2017 Share Posted 23 August 2017 I'm not having a dig at DG by saying he looks like he isn't enjoying it ..... Just an observation .... I personally think that if you enjoy something then you can bounce back from the minor disappointments and set backs easier .... Would just be nice to see him smile when he scores, when something goes well, even a little smile at full time when his team has won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mahrez stays he won't be a starter unless the former blews it completely up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 24 August 2017 Author Share Posted 24 August 2017 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-flier-demarai-gray-wants-11044421.amp Quote Demarai Gray wants Leicester to start him or sell him as Bournemouth are offering nearly £30million for the starlet. Unsettled Gray hit out this summer after only making nine Premier League starts last term. The skilful winger is desperate for more game-time after impressing for the England U21s this summer and in his first start in the League Cup this week. But Gray, 21, has not broken into the Foxes' starting line-up in the Premier League despite fellow winger Riyad Mahrez asking to leave. And this term boss Craig Shakespeare has only brought him on in the 88th and 89th minutes in City's first two League games. It has left Gray hugely frustrated as Cherries chief Eddie Howe is offering him regular starts and a big pay-rise. Leicester have rejected Bournemouth's interest , which MirrorSport understands has hit nearly £30m, including add-ons. But despite this City are paying Gray only £25,000-a-week which is not in line with his rocketing valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 Think we would do well to get 30m for him at this moment. Would be a bit disappointed though as I think he can still become very good, if he plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez will be off this summer, Janurary, or next summer. He is a player who wants out and nothing will change that. We need to plan for that bu playing Gray in more games. He is great at running at players, skillful and has no fear. He needs to make a few better decisions though. If we manage to keep Mahrez and sell Gray, Jan or next summer Mahrez will leave and we will be left looking for a winger and regardless of how much cash we have we won't be able to pull in anyone like the calibre of Gray or Mahrez are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 I'm sure we must have already tried to get him to sign a new deal. Because of his age we can let his contract run down and still get a fee of sorts when he goes but will be nowhere near 20m +. we have said we wont sell him so I think we tell him to sign a new deal or we keep him until his contract expires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvisfmcfly Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 If Mahrez stays and we can get 30 million we should sell him,with sell on clause cause there's no way he will be at Bournemouth long term,obviously he would need replacing though.

glenny_fox Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 I love how Bournemouth are 'apparently' happy to pay £30m for a player that has virtually achieved nothing and started a handful of games but Roma are only, after being pushed and pushed, willing to pay around £30m for a title winning, pfa winning balon d'or nominee.

TAFKA Castroneves Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 Let's take the 30 million He's got potential BUT his head is in the clouds vs. where he actually is in reality, if we can bring in a player with 3/4 his skill and a much better attitude we'd be better off as a club. I think a move to Bournemouth would be a wake up call, it's the perfect move to prove yourself as a player - but alas i can see him being just like Jordan Ibe, ultimately bit-part because he's not as good as he thinks he is. If Gray was a hard-working guy always looking to improve his game then i'm sure he would actually already be starting by now, he'd have forced himself into that starting 11, he's been here enough - the fact is he thinks he's good enough now - and he's not, so sell.

Wymsey Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 With the right support to make his attitude positively more consistent and willing to put 100% for the team, he'll do excellently in his career given the above and also if he becomes less greedy. Think he's with the best coaches in Shakespeare etc, who seem to genuinely care about the well-being of the team and to keep mentality strong.

I do have a certain amount of sympathy with him to the extent that he deserved more starts last season when Marhez wasn't performing but, if Marhez stays and performs and puts the effort in he did against Brighton then the best player gets the job until either performance or effort wanes. Players like Gray need to learn that it's not all about them, once they sign a contract it's about the team. He needs to get his head down, concentrate and if Marhez leaves or is dropped, make sure he's ready to take his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 I take it his deal is up in June 2019? He'll sign a new deal if he knows what's good for him on double his current wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 He's on the cusp of breaking through. Next week we could get £50m or close to it for Mahrez. If not, then he has to work hard for a place in the side, and if he does so consistently it's not inconceivable that he could get ahead of Albrighton this season. He isn't going to just walk into Bournemouth's starting XI and stay there if he doesn't put the effort in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Shakey had stated as far as he was aware no player now had a release clause when asked about Gray. Be hard for any journo to claim he had a release clause.

fuchsntf Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 Alot of Posters ,reckonning its an either or Debate..... Point 1. We should keep both!!! Point 2. I believe both Mahrez and Gray can play in the same Team... Why weaken the squad,by thinking one must go...!!! We should be Holding our top players Not releasing Them ....

Bablemikey Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 He would do well to take a look at how those ahead of him play the winger role and then a good hard look at himself. I believe he has great potential, but he really has to apply himself much more, and consistently too, in order to be considered for a starting spot in my opinion. He couldn't really wish for better examples to learn from than Mahrez and Albrighton and if he could take the best from them and add in his own talent he will go right to the top.

Why do you presume he isnt doing that. Alot of posters presume he needs a kick up the backside....why??? Much of the gossip is not his doing,but repetative presumption being tossed around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
