Just come out and say he's not for sale and guarantee him more game time. He's one of the brightest young talents we've ever had at this football club and we will end up letting him go unhappy and seeing him develop into a top class player elsewhere. How and Why should we do that for one player such as Gray? I do not remember in recent times us guaranteeing any player game time and he has had a number of opportunities but generally under whelms in the prem....he is talented but to be successful he needs a complete switch in attitude, listening and learning. I think the club have done well by him to date and actually if Riyad and Albrighton are still around he is going to have to show a lot more than a good half against a championship side to warrant a start. Get your head down, work, practice and show the attitude of Chilwell and he may have more chance of getting a spot in the team - its bloody obvious we are going to lose Riyad at some point so his opportunities will increase and he would not be a certain starter at anyone bigger than us. Fact is that his agent is making the situation worse and constantly pushing his name around does not help the lad who is not the sharpest being kind! I think the club are handling this situation and him brilliantly as they have done with all the rumoured exits so far as the owners will not be pushed around by other clubs, agents or individual player agenda's.

Potential or no potential, he is still worth his place in the team by an absolute mile. Mahrez might not want to be here, but he is here and he is still better than Gray. It's a difficult situation.

Wymsey Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Townsend and Gray appear to be similar to me. Quick, dribble well but their end-products let them down/stop them from reaching their respective potential. But prefer to keep Gray as at his age, he can develop on his weaknesses even further and think if he keeps at it and shows he has learnt from the mistakes that have let him down - he has a bright future.

Stevosevic Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 SSN just said on their round up that "now we are hearing Leicester are prepared to pay 25million pounds" I don't know if this new news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox 4 Life Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Townsend is screaming out to be played in his proper position as a winger. We can give him that and I think he'll thrive here. 25m in this day and age is not huge money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 CS should just make Gray watch videos of Ryan Giggs 5hrs a day. (Not those videos, obviously, the footballing ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 Watch out row z He probably will fit the team though. Hard working with not much else, but ultimately working well in the team. Hope he is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A swap of Musa for Townsend for me would be a good piece of business and certainly make us stronger. Keep Slim, Vardy, DD and Mahrez and happy day. One more CB and it will be an almost faultless window (until all the signings fail anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 I'd take him as an addition, he has ability... with the right kind of management he would be quality... and lets be real... Is FDB really going to be there much longer? He is a tragic attempt at a manager, so it's hardly surprising he isn't tearing up trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 30 August 2017 Share Posted 30 August 2017 I'll take him. It's just the price that bothers me. Townsend is infinitely better than Musa. If we get him for a about £20m that'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
