AKCJ Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 He must be asking for a shit load. You'd have thought a Championship club would be interested. Could even be Celtic's new Scott Sinclair. With some of the clubs his agent is putting out in the press, you get the feeling that he's either not getting a move or that he'll get a move and be stuck on the bench again.

fox_up_north Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 I can't see him going, personally. He's been on the market for, realistically, a year or so. He's obviously asking too much or there's something on his end that's holding this all up. We payed, in today's money, peanuts for him. Clubs are either waiting until summer or they just don't think he's worth it. Sadly, he's a championship player who never lived up to the potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakemoore Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 (edited) I suspect the list of never ending clubs ‘racing for his signature’ is nothing more than agent gossip to increase his wage at the one or two clubs who are actually interested. Gray is one of the biggest wastes of money ever - thankfully he wasn’t an expensive flop. There is no way he is ready to move to a club playing Champions League or even Europa League football. In fact, I would suggest that he’s closer to the Championship than the Champions League. Edited 26 January 2021 by Jakemoore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 (edited) I believe that Gray has a high perception of his own ability that has never quite transferred to his performances on the pitch. That’s not to say he categorically can’t do it, but usually you have to demonstrate your potential first before you demand attention. I suspect that his ego will stop him going to a struggling PL side or Championship side as he’s going to have to graft. He might well get a slightly better offer in the summer and have his pick of more clubs but, at some point, he’s going to have to consistently deliver the performances that he thinks he’s capable of.

Popular Post AjcW Posted 26 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 26 January 2021 I don't think it's anything to do with him asking for too much. He's got a young child, is in a new relationship and also knows that he absolutely needs to get his next move spot on for the sake of his career! A decision on moving abroad is huge, especially as I believe the child is with a former partner, although i'm not sure whether DG is primary care giver, all these things will be factoring into his decision. He's never moaned once and when called upon he's played and even played in reserves. IMO he's just being sensible and making sure he gets this move right for everyone involved. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_77 Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 (edited) What are we going to do when he moves and the Transfer Talk threads can’t offer him up as a swap for Leo Messi? Edited 26 January 2021 by The_77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He filled a gap for a number of seasons until we had better options, all for a relatively modest fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray like Kaputska came here as cheap but with plenty of potential, I'm happy for my club to sign these type of players even though neither worked out. We might also near as damn it get our money back on Gray if we sell him to Leverkusen for €3m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 26 January 2021 Share Posted 26 January 2021 Gray, Slimani, Silva now all gone (if reports are to be believed). Thats a lot of wages we've shifted in a tough time. Virtually no deadwood left in the squad or on loan (bar Ghezzal). Really hope we can reinvest this wisely now into an attacking midfielder or indeed.....a striker.
