Tuna Posted 5 August 2017 Posted 5 August 2017 He won't make the bench at present, we're overloaded. Would loan him rather than sell him at the moment to a premier league club. We'd have an enourmous amount of egg on our face if he's a success somewhere else over here.

One may be leaving. One has constant rumours about him leaving. One is untested in the Premier League. And one is a youngster. There's no way you can be sure Lawrence is better than Musa before Lawrence has played a single Premier League match. I'm not even sure Gray is better than Musa although Gray has more potential. I wouldn't be sad to see him loaned out although I'd wait to see how Lawrence pans out first.
ronnup Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 He starts above Lawrence and Gray for me so of Mahrez leaves it's him. I think there's more to him. He's scared to shoot so maybe he'd be better as a wide man anyway.

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Loan to Hull the most likely at the moment, shame as he's keen to stay and show what he can do. 6 months at Hull and review it in Jan would be my call. He's still a young player.

If he's got anything about him at all he should be tearing up the Championship and an attacking player that performs well at that level is worth £10m+. The only pity is that we never got to do a swap deal for Maguire.

If we keep Lawrence then he'll surely sign a new contract. We can assess him for a season here where he'll probably start all the cup games and get a lot of chances to force his way in the team with sub appearances etc. If he doesn't make an impact then a Championship club would spend good money on him this time next year. If we've already turned down £7m then we must be confident he will fetch more money or we think he has something to offer us.
Blue ROI Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 A loan move to the championship would be a good move for him. Unlikely to get a look in for us. Wouldnt surprise me if he ended up like Waghorn going from loan to loan if we don't sell.

waylander Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Hull move would be perfect all round. Musa gets to play for a manager who rates him we ge to see what he can do in a competitive league. And shakes can make a decision. If he hasn't already. ?

With no concrete offers from anyone to buy him he's more or less worthless at the moment anyway. For his value to be anything near like what we paid he's going to have to perform this season whether that's with us, West Brom or Hull.

Gray might have a problem with the last decision (can be adressed) but one in their right mind would play Musa over Gray. The former doesn't even make it to bench most of the time since Shakespeare took over and it's not going to change anytime soon. Loan or sell him.

Chico1958 Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 I think he'll go to Hull, he'll be with a manager that has time for him and knows him. Listening to Slutky, the guy seems very passionate about the game and what he has to do. He's also learned English in 6 months just to make sure he can relay his tactics to the team. As for Musa, he's done fine in pre-season but I think he'd have to score every game to turn this forum around. But like I've said before I'll go with Shakespeares decision......... He might just keep him to keep Nacho happy Best of luck to the guy either way

I really don't get the Gray hype, at least Musa occasionally scores goals.
