Are we going to get this every single week? Why would anyone care what he does, he never did it here in 100's of opportunities under numerous managers. 

It honestly fascinates me.

 

Gray wanted to succeed. Our coaches wanted him to succeed. Our managers wanted him to succeed. All except the most ardent knew he had talent but something wasn't clicking. A few posters said someone should sit him down and have a chat with him. I'm sure we tried his. Nonetheless, he flies over to Germany, the plane touches tarmac, Leverkussen's coaches say four words to him, and now he's tearing up a top European league. The fatalistic element amuses me but the transformation, albeit only 50 minutes played, is a sight to behold.

Or teams 10th down in the Bundesliga aren't actually upto much cop and he's found his level?

 

I'm afraid consistency was the issue, we've all seen him do some lovely stuff, it's doing it regularly that matters and you have to do it when starting games. It was fairly easy to look bright for him coming on for a sub even for us. It fell on its arse when he started a match and wasn't up against players tiring.

I want him to do well. Anyone who doesn't, is just weird.

 

Not sure I can be bothered hearing about him every week though lol

 

We all know his strengths and his weaknesses. I think Bayer will have very similar thoughts to us come the end of the season though

 

Good luck to you Demi!

Anyone who wishes him failure maybe. I don't think most give two sh**s about him now one way or the other. 

 

I certainly don't and have zero interest in weekly updates when he does something of note.

If you truly had "zero interest" you wouldn't be in this thread :ph34r:

 

I have some interest in several of the guys who have moved on ... but would be more than satisfied with updates in the Ex-players thread, as opposed to a dedicated thread in the City forum.

I'd actually quite like to know of his achievements and failures over the coming season. I might look it up elsewhere or I might come to the demari grey thread here. If I didn't want to know about him I certainly wouldn't be clicking on this thread. I bet I regularly check less than .5% of the threads on this forum, so I'll just briefly go to the other 99.5% to let everyone know how little I care, that'll be a fun afternoon.

The funny thing is that his best football for us was probably his last period playing for the club. Arguably our top performer post lockdown.

 

I think Brendan would have preferred him to Under but understandably he wanted more game time. I’ll be very interested to see if he can finally unlock that potential. Ive also got a soft sport for Leverkusen

Noticed that our Twitter team announcer has been quiet since Gray has left the club...

In what scenario does a young gifted inner city footballer from Birmingham befriend a middle aged, Internet troll from Enderby? 

 

I know people like to blame gray for everything but The leak will have been from the media team or the press as they get the team an hour early.

I'm interested.  I'll click on the thread.

I click on the link thinking there might be some news that I had missed... but turns out not.

 

I think it might be time to merge this into the "Ex Players - They used to play for us" thread.

Has anyone ever seen them in a room together?

 

Maybe Gray is SFE.

Sean from Enderby used to regularly - and accurately - reveal line-ups on the morning of games. He wasn't getting that information from somebody who found out two hours before kick-off.
