He can’t be a winger or midfielder because of his poor decisions. Maybe all he can be good at is to be a backup forward who can dance around and shoot. Give him just a single task of shooting. He was useless as a forward aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 17 September 2019 Share Posted 17 September 2019 If Brendan can’t get it out of him then no one will. He can’t have too many opportunities left can he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwyn Posted 18 September 2019 Share Posted 18 September 2019 I think he is more of an old school winger who just hangs around on the right gets played in by a long or short ball then uses his pace and attacks the left back and gets a cross/shot in. All this opposite wings and drift in doesn't suit him. So if we continually play as we have I can see Eddie Howe snapping him up and playing him as an old school winger, and tbf I can see him doing OK in this position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is stylistically he tries to be a Mahrez type and just hasn't got it. Schlupp for all his limitations used what he had better than Gray does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got some raw talent but ultimately not quite good enough for the level we're at or aspiring to. No significant improvement since the day he joined us and for that reason i'd cash in. I suspect his stock is higher outside of LCFC as others seem to rate him, and I think we'd get upwards of £25-30M which we could reinvest more wisely. Fans =/ Club's scouts. If we got more than £15 million for him I'd be shocked. Just looking at his record under two managers very good at promoting youth like him (Puel and Rodgers) is enough to put pretty much anyone off, let alone for £20+ million.

He’s not an old school winger - beat a man, whip it in He’s not a workhorse - limited offensively but gives you added protection at the back He’s not an ‘inside forward’ - someone who’s going to cut in and play the incisive pass / assist He’s not going to pop-up with 6 or 7 25 yarders a season either. We’ve given him enough time and chances now. Cash in and get someone else in - we’d be better off bringing Schlupp back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point and I think that's what's hampered his progress, because he was seen as the Mahrez replacement he tried or was asked to come inside and that's not his game. I also think he should have been loaned out years ago to develop. I think he came to us at 17yrs and was immediately elevated to the 1st team, but how can you improve just watching Riyhad be Riyhad when you are a constant sub for three years. Previous managers faults, I think we stunted his growth and missed a trick there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 19 September 2019 Share Posted 19 September 2019 If you’ve got natural speed and some ability, which the lad has, surely coaching should supply the rest. If he cannot grasp what he’s being told and implement that on the pitch then he will never make it. After so long it looks like he just doesn’t ‘get’ it or is possibly too arrogant to listen. Doesn’t help with cockwomble articles saying Spurs are interested in him. Personally, unless there is a dramatic and more or less immediate change in his approach, I think he’s done here in all honesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 19 September 2019 Share Posted 19 September 2019 Feel like he is done here. He has shown no progression whatsoever. We need a top class winger and he needs a fresh start somewhere else. Crazy thing is, I still think he has a decent market value as for whatever reason, he still seems highly rated outside our club. I actually think we could still get a decent fee for him from a team like Bournemouth/Palace etc. £20m in Jan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 I'm a a full on Gray fan. And if i were his manager he'd be my teacher's pet (all manager's have one) I thought his cameo - once again - was excellent. Why oh why oh why will he not grasp his chance when picked to start?

blueharmie Posted 21 September 2019 Share Posted 21 September 2019 A good cameo today when he came on. Much better impact player off the bench as shown today. Thought it's worth a mention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
