Confirmed Signing Demarai Gray

The Saudis are supposedly back in.

The best part about these transfers is the super bloos lapping this up as some sort of moneyball move. All become financial wizzes overnight

Absolutely embarrassing, firstly being sold this fat kopite slug as manager and now the championship level quality he wants to fill our squad with.

Up the Geordie Blues

We have several Leicester fans telling us Gray is terrible, and yet still several are persisting with "squad depth" "chance at redemption" etc.

Makes you laugh when people talk about Dominic Cummings, Facebook and sinister "nudging". If they'd have had any sense they'd have just turned Britain into a football club.

Spurs did have Townsend on their books

In the past, yes, they also had Gazza, how did that work for us when we signed him after his peak? Would they sign him now? If not why should we?

Demarai Gray - yes

Townsend - no

Utd fans probably said this to WHU fans about Jesse Lingard in fairness as I deffo seen it written on here.

Pienaar was class at us but awful when he moved to Spurs.

Salah was bang average at Chelsea now world class at Liverpool.

I wouldnt judge a youngish player based solely on what he did at one club.

At £1.5 million its a decent squad option considering he'll be on half the wages maybe less than Benard who barely plays a game and will be off this summer for a few million profit.

I admire your optimism on him, but the chances of Demarai Gray suddenly becoming good is slim.

The guy’s 25, had enough time with us to show his potential, was given numerous chances in the latter stages of his Leicester career, both by Puel & Rodgers and failed to take them.

It’s not surprising to see that Leverkusen don’t want him either.

His main highlight at Leicester, was nearly having his head chopped off by a helicopter blade, that pretty much says everything about him I’m afraid.

I suppose one upside to these signings is Tosun will be able to go halves on the hair in a can with Townsend

Both players remind me of the sort of shrewd business Moyes used to do in fairness.

Seen this comment on Townsend from a Palace twitter account:

"Had a fair few Everton fans ask this today… I won’t ever say a bad word about Andros, top bloke, hard worker, tactically disciplined, good personality in the group, can score a banger, his time at Palace was just at an end. I wish him extremely well for 36 games next season."

Sounds like the right type we need in the squad reliable off the bench who'll put a shift in and has a bit of pace.

Demarai Gray - yes

Townsend - no

not overjoyed with either believe me, but unsure here, do they play on either wing ? If so it's cover and Townsend, if it's only one year on low wages, ugh, okay.

 

[malfosse]

We are finished.

You're an optimist aren't you.
I however expect plenty more (bad word) to be heaped upon us before we truly are finished.

 

[Toffeepot]

what kind of money is being touted for those two? I'm guessing this is the proof we are broke

 

[mooseatingnome]

Bin squad signings and go with 3 keepers on the bench I say.

 

[billybeeru]

I like the people saying “well if this means we can shift the deadwood”... totally oblivious to the fact that we’d just be adding more deadwood to worry about later.

I bet you we give him a three year contract on £60k a week.

I'm going to enjoy cracking open the vault in 6 months time.

Just don’t get excited and go vaulting after Gray scores a tap in to make it 3-0 at home to Watford.
