moore_94 Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

UpTheLeagueFox Posted 5 October 2020 Share Posted 5 October 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been plain for over a year now. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
