Confirmed Signing Demarai Gray

[hktoffee]

Imagine try to convince yourself and others that Gray is a good signing.

Bernard and Iwobi are not better than him though.

Imagine trying so hard to be upset about him signing as a benchwarmer that you forget he is far cheaper and will stay on his feet longer than the guy he is replacing and the extra funds will go towards a better player being bought in as well. Madness

So many happy clappers, we deserve the crap show we are getting.

here's an answer NO, I'm discussing his pros and cons on here a forum for talking about the club to blues, thanks for participating although you need to work on your content.

You are just moaning for the sake of moaning about a effing bench warmer. its weird

If we have no money what do you suggest we do here?

Leicester City fan here.

Gray is a real mystery. When we bought him from Birmingham City, he was definitely 'the next big thing'. Over the past few years we've earned a bit of a reputation for buying players and taking them on to the next level, and it seemed like Gray would be another in that line. But he turned out to be incredibly frustrating, and he must have really pissed of his successive managers and teammates. He did show flashes of talent, and there were a few games when he came on and lit up the place, but it was only a few, sadly: all too often he held the ball too long when a pass would have been the sensible option, and he sometimes seemed to disappear from view altogether. I suspect, on the basis of no evidence other than watching him, that he thought it would fall into his lap without trying - which is odd when you consider he was playing alongside people like Vardy, Albrighton, Ndidi etc, all of whom put in 100% all the time.

Maybe Benitez will be able to unlock his ability. I hope so, because I hate to see all that talent wasted.

Lucky you living in an absolutely beautiful part of France ami

Bottom line, the loads of money we've wasted since selling Lukaku has finally caught up to us, so we need to sell off some of those players before we can splash on new ones.

Given these circumstances, buying something we clearly needed last season - pace, for 1.5 million pounds, one of whom is theoretically is entering his prime in Gray, is a decent bit of business.

Do we need better players this this? Yes. But we also need to buy squad players at the right price, rather than blowing 30 million on the likes of Davy Klaasen or Iwobi

The end of Iwobi being our go to man WIN

This could be last chance saloon for Gray at a big club. Sort of a cross roads at the age of 25. Got to hope Benitez can get in his head and bring about some consistency from him.

They are better than who they were replacing and far far cheaper , that is all

Palace fan here just reading thoughts on Townsend out of interest (week off but holiday cancelled, so yes I'm that bored)

Most of us find it an odd one, general opinion was he's a top bloke who gave his all but lost his burst of pace after a couple of injuries which took a lot from his game. Played most weeks under Hodgson as his work rate and discipline helped compensate for our ageing midfield and gave Zaha more license to roam. Still puts in a good cross and chipped in with 5 assists from them but rarely beats a man to do it. Does know his limitations in fairness which helps

Most people would have been happy for him to stay on reduced money as a squad player as we lack width, but also wanted/expected us to bring in a first team replacement this summer, Olise isn't like for like but might have been that player depending on system. If he left we thought it would be for game time so probably a newly promoted team so very surprised to see him turn up for you. Can only assume you offered more money or a longer contract as he'll just be sitting on a different bench further from home now

Anyway good luck to him and you lot for the new season, if you play him against us at least you'll know he'll score a couple this season!

Dunno if anyone replied...but he'll be on a one year deal apparently

Didn't even get the Contract Dave treatment, Townsend!
