Demarai Gray

[NaijaFox]

You know things are bad when I found myself wishing we had Gray on the bench today to try taking a gamble on his inconsistent form.

Possibly our best player today? Between him, Maddison, Praet & Ndidi...

wont get much for selling him so keep him for a year

And pay him 7 months wages and absolutely f all when he does leave.

Looks like Leeds did actually try for Gray but have moved on after the deal got complicated (no indication as to whether it was our asking price or Grays demands which made it complicated)

he holds all the cards- still on the payroll whilst he runs his contract down and gets a big sign on fee at his next club- he's not going to make it easy .

B'ham would want him sold for a decent fee as I believe they have a sell on clause?

Not too sure if they do as we paid a release clause to sign him didn’t we? Unless they somehow managed to make a sell on fee as part of the clause

The release clause for Gray was a bit strange if I remember rightly. There was some conflicting reports on it in the months leading up to the January window so it might have been that there was a mandatory sell on clause in there, even 5 years ago £3.75m release clause for a highly sought after young English player was very low.

With a release that low and possibility of a sell on fee it makes me think that it will be a % of the whole fee, rather than from the profit, could be a couple million in it for Birmingham

Or Gray was used as a smokescreen to get the deal foe Raphinha over the line 

[FLAN]

Can’t think of a less Bielsa type player than Gray

Complications? 

 

He got in his car, joined the M1, cruising in the fast lane until he hit traffic. Switched lanes a few time, turned into a dead-end, and ended up in Hull.

Demi - I remember the goal at Man U in 2016 and the goal against Derby in Extra time in the FA Cup that season. A few diamonds in his time.

One against Cardiff after Vichai died with stay will me forever.

 

A real shame it's come to this, but he's had too many chances.

The sort of player Liverpool would manage to sell to any bottom half PL club for £20-30m and we'll get fcuk all for him.

With a buy back option and 20% sell on bonus.

Failing to get another striker in will come and bite us this season should Vardy get injured. It’s been plain for over a year now. 

[UpTheLeagueFox]

The fee they'd want for Gray in addition to his wages will surely put off EFL clubs so something would have to be done today if he's going to another PL club or abroad.

Liverpool’s tactic is never play the average players so that people just go off of their reputation. 

[Webbo]

Looks like he's going to see his contract out, which makes financial sense for him.

I disagree. Who could we get who is better than Nacho who wants to sit on our bench? And would it be worth paying whatever they'd cost? I think we have/have had bigger priorities.
