Lazio aren't an English club, Gray is only worth his actual ability to them. English clubs pay a premium on young English players BECAUSE they're young and English, he doesn't have the same appeal to a foreign side. Plus, their owner is one of the hardest businessmen in European football. He'll only bite if he believes he can buy cheap, get a couple good years out of Gray and then make a healthy profit. He's shrewd but not in the batshit sense that Sporting are. Think Levy but a bit more of a dick. If we sell him to Lazio we'll be lucky to get 25. 1

But because he's english all clubs should have to pay more. English clubs will pay a premium for them so foreign clubs should also have to pay that premium because there's nothing stopping leicester selling him to an english club. To be fair though this is all theory because examples of English players moving abroad are rare. Part of me thinks though this might be down to foreign clubs not buying them because they don't want to pay the English player premium.

Ric Flair Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Let's get rid of Gray and Albrighton and just play Diabate on the left and right. 1 2
rachhere Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 Posted a clip on Instagram of him scoring against Man U, saying he's looking forward to the first match of the season. Really don't think he's going anywhere. 1

Well technically that's true of anyone under contract. But 25m is probably the most we'd ever really get for him. At the minute we can still con someone by claiming he has potential, sooner or later people are going to cotton on to the fact he's just a pacy one trick pony who hasn't improved since he got here.

That only works if there's an English club interested and bidding. If there isn't, he's worth what they're willing to pay. It depends whether we're more desperate to sell than they are to buy. I doubt either is true really. We'd happily keep him and Lazio would happily pursue better targets, he's not worth a great deal tbf.
Sunbury Fox Posted 3 August 2018 Posted 3 August 2018 If we had a decent replacement lined up (a massive 'If', I know) and we'd not just lost Mahrez then i would shed no tears about Gray leaving. Completely flatters to deceive and shows few genuine signs of improvement. But as things stand, we can't really afford to lose him.

For sure he hasn't been consistent with good performances but he's constantly in and out of the starting 11, perhaps he needs a consistent run! 1
