HighPeakFox Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Anyone who thinks that the media don't manipulate and misdirect people just need to look in this section of FT, and see people react to every burp expelled from our collective press.

I would not be surprised if at some point in the future the club don't take the "we can't be arsed with this" anymore view point and just cash in. But that deal isn't happening, we'd be mad.

Fox 4 Life Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 If Bournemouth seemingly value Gray at 25m there is no way we spend 10m plus him to get Townsend. It's the mirror I wouldn't worry too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 I am sure Palace did not pay more than around £10-15 million for Townsend and he has struggled since that time So Gray + cash would be a crazy piece of business. Neither Gray nor Townsend can replace Mahrez but would prefer Gray I think he has a lot more potential and is the more valuable player by some margin.Roll on Friday have had enough of this speculation.

Come on mate, you can't use Gray's bit part stats compared to Townsend who starts a hell of a lot more games than he does. It's not really comparable. Townsend certainly has a degree of end product whereas Gray is still wildly inconsistent but if there's any money changing hands in a swap deal it shouldn't be quite that dramatic! That values Townsend at £30-35 million based on what Gray's rumoured worth/rejected bids are. Townsend is falling in to Slimani territory for outrageous over pricing.

jonny_wright Posted 30 August 2017 Author Share Posted 30 August 2017 BREAKING NEWS Crystal Palace are interested in Leicester winger Demarai Gray and have suggested a possible swap deal with Andros Townsend, according to Sky sources. Frank de Boer wants Gray to bolster his options as he continues to develop a more progressive, passing style to the way Palace play. But Leicester are adamant they don't want to sell Gray, and are currently negotiating a new contract with the England under-21 international. Craig Shakespeare likes Townsend, and Leicester spoke to Palace about him earlier in the window, but we understand the asking price of over £25m was too much for Leicester to consider, and they've moved on. Leicester rejected a bid of £20m from Bournemouth for Gray earlier in this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 And in a year's time Palace sell Gray for £50m to Man Utd and Townsend is looking for his 39th new club. Just close the window, cba anymore lets just play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebum Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Seems to me like there is a bit of a common theme developing when talking about these players who just don't seem to have adequate decision making skills. Probably a different topic for another forum somewhere tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublime_Coatsworth Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Townsend for Gray swap is a dreadful deal. If Leicester goes for this it will completely demonstrate, without fear of any doubt, that our recruitment team are a bunch of fvckwitts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
