Dan LCFC Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 I do wonder if there's something wrong with him attitude wise. OK he shouldn't be starting every game but despite his ability he always seems to get less time than you would imagine he should. I think he's in real danger of his career petering out to mediocrity.

Even with the english player tax I'd probably take 14m+ English + 'potential'. Between £15-£20m I'd sell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 Unfortunately he is a typical English winger that believes his own hype too much, there was been so many in the past 10 years that have bags of potential and nothing comes from it, people saying he must sulk like Mahrez in training? There isn't many better according to other players. He needs to get his head down or he will spend another season on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why his coaches haven't drummed into him it's a team game. He's relatively lazy and selfish, doesn't seem to read the game. Immensely talented, but needs a guiding hand from somewhere or he will drift down the pecking order everywhere he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The whole world smiles Posted 19 June 2017 Share Posted 19 June 2017 I wouldn't read too much into him not getting picked last summer in the euros Deschamps was picking Moussa Sissoko ahead of a certain small ex Leicester midfielder and look how that turned out.

Tried to take his man on and the guy didn't need to put much of a tackle in. I think the attention has gone to his head. Linked with Liverpool, he thinks he's better than he is. Undoubtedly he's talented, but you need to put the work in. Ronaldo is the prime example of that. That was shocking especially as Tammy Abraham (who had a cracking game) had played a lovley unselfish ball into him to start the move and Gray completely ignored him. Even on Sunday Leauge that's a no no. Tammy Abraham looked absolutely livid and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxes21 Posted 20 June 2017 Share Posted 20 June 2017 For Gray to improve it isn't just about game time. It's about mentality. Shakespeare will know if Gray has the right attitude, desire and hunger to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyFox Posted 20 June 2017 Share Posted 20 June 2017 Hate to say, it but he's still not showing development in his distribution in the final third. I'd sell for £22m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 20 June 2017 Share Posted 20 June 2017 10 hours ago, JP the Fox said: And in the game tonight against Slovakia Swift (FROM FOOKIN READING) Was starting ahead of Gray and was finally subbed for Demi for the final 10 minutes. Selecting international players just because they play for bigger clubs has served England so poorly for years now. Shouldn't matter what club a player plays for. What should matter is that they are good enough and fit the system. Leicester City fans, of all people, should appreciate this. Have you forgotten "two games" Wilshere getting selected ahead of red hot in-form Drinkwater last summer? Big club, schmig club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themightyfin Posted 20 June 2017 Share Posted 20 June 2017 The lad is 20 years old! Lay off him! Nobody here knows why he's not been selected but he's already been hung drawn and quartered as a lazy waste of space with a massive attitude problem. Why not feel proud we have players representing Leicester at international level and be right behind them and see him for the talent he is. You don't get tracked by teams like Liverpool or Spurs ect if your a waste of space. Give the lad a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a lad from Reading gets in ahead of him, it's only natural that people question his ability. Obviously I'm guessing most of our fans haven't seen enough of his direct rival to know how good he is, but Gray has been here for 1½ years now and he hasn't progressed significantly despite a good number of appearances. With Mahrez likely leaving this summer, now is the time for Gray to step up and make his mark. This tournament should provide the perfect platform to kick on.

This is the issue I have, he's obsessed with scoring 'worldies' from outside the box (which are dreadful % wise for most players, hence an awful XG expected goals), rather than feeding team mates in better positions/play 1-2's. However at 20, he could still learn, but he might be well be too stubborn to restyle his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominicmsb Posted 20 June 2017 Share Posted 20 June 2017 He's got Nathan Redmond in front of him for U21 who is definitely a better player. I don't know much about Swift on the other side but apparently he had a decent season at Reading who finished 3rd and scored 8 goals and got 4 assists so they are no slouches.

Swift isn't even a wide player, he's a CAM. But he gets ahead of Gray in a RM position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
