Blue ROI Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Gray might do well at Leeds. f he's another Kramaric type success elsewhere so what. He isn't going to be the player we hoped he would be. Anything close to 10 million is good for all concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Good for all parties should he go, he’s at a complete standstill with us and falling further down the pecking order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Anyone come up with an impact sub we can get for less than £10m to play wide left or right? I've got a few names coming but you can't just rely on me for the good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I'd say £10m. Maybe more if we'd owe anything to Birmingham as a sell on fee to cover that. Squeeze one in there for ourselves if we can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cantwell is available at £15m then he would be an obvious replacement - right footed but left sided (direct competition for Barnes) with Ünder and Pérez on the right, Albrighton as emergency cover either side or even wing-back. Cantwell could also at a push do Maddison's role in a 4-3-3 or similar, which would be ideal for depth in attacking midfield. I think after Fofana, Gray moving on will be the only way we will make another move. Personally I'd be glad if it happens for the sake of both us and his career. 100% with regards to Cantwell being the replacement. I think Cantwell would be a great addition should we sell Dimi. It offers us great balance on both wings. On the left wing you’ve got the option of being direct in Barnes, or the option to play the wide man more inside with Cantwell. The same applies on the right wing with Under being direct & Perez the inside option. Like you’ve stated too, signing Cantwell also offers competition to Madders for that No.10 spot. For £15m I think we would be silly not to go for the lad, as I honestly feel he would excel with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 £10 mill would be a good fee for a buying club. Yeah he's inconsistent but a string of 8 or 9 good games and he'll look like a player 3 times the price. Even though we know he isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Dykes Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I think around £10m is feasible. Will we see that reinvested by the end of the window? Would be good to add a prospect to the squad in the form of a young playmaker or winger. Possibly someone who can do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edingleyfox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I think we should ask for £15-20 million but would not expect much more than £10-12 million and with 15% sell on clause I believe it will not leave a lot of money £10 million at best. We all know he can look like a much better player than these values suggest so if a coach could unlock the consistency and final delivery they will get a bargain. Agree Cantwell would be an interesting addition or of course a forward but things would need to move quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So surprising that another coach who is great at doing that in Bielsa is interested in him. Bielsa has even made Patrick Bamford look good so who knows, maybe he can get a tune out of Gray? I can't see it myself though, look at players like Chilwell, Barnes, Soyuncu and Ndidi for how young players should be developing under a good coach. Gray's end product just isn't there. It's his footballing brain for me. Just get the impression he is thick as shit, and the nearly getting his head cut off by the helicopter blades says it all for me (disclaimer: not fact checked it but it fits my narrative so I'm having it!)

If we'd have offered him a new contract it would have felt like a Matty james/Andy King scenario at the time. He hit form at the time it suited him financially (not suggesting a conspiracy theory but there's plenty about with covid so I'm sure some numpty will run with it.) It is what it is! Time for all parties to move on imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 There’s definitely not much going on upstairs. And he thinks he’s better than he actually is. I’ve never liked his mardy attitude either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 The problem I see with Gray is he doesn’t seem to look up and if he does he dwells on his decision making too long. If he’s off form he doesn’t seem to put the extra running in that’s needed to Get in positions and regain his form. He is decent coming off the bench running at tired defenders because he gets the extra seconds to make those decisions but he’s had plenty of starts and I don’t think he’s ever going to improve. This is just my perception and like every Leicester fan I wanted the player that he could be, but at present if he wants starts I’m happy to see him go. Maybe a new team, new coach will give him the motivation to work on the things that’s lacking in his game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
