2021/22 Demarai Gray

[Austrax]

Keep.

Could not agree more, I reckon there must be at least another dozen in the squad I would get shut of.

 

[AussieToffee11]

I'd sell purely on FFP grounds.

£15m-£20m on a £1.7m original transfer would allow us to do a lot more business this window than originally planned.

When he's good, he's very good.

When he's not, he's very frustrating.

There's a reason he's moved around a lot since breaking through at Birmingham, hugely Inconsistent.

If we can get him out and use that money for Sarr (who admittedly had a d awful year with Watford) I'd be OK with it.

Swap player that played well for us, probably player of the season until Feb, won games for us for a player that has barely played well in the premier league for 3 seasons?

Actually, yeah.

There's a reason he cost what he did.

My main point is the right wide area needs more attention than the left.

Compare Richarlison, Gordon, Gray and potentially Dobbin with Townsend and the departing El Ghazi and its grim.

Yes, Richarlison may well go, but Gray is the most disposable of the list.

But you would then more than likely need to spend that money to replace him.

Selling on FFP grounds is one thing, but keeping on we need to keep our best players grounds is another.

If we sold him for 20m we have made fools of ourselves

Yes that is correct, but that's not the way FFP works. And our main issue is with FFP compliance not whether Moshiri actually has money to spend.

Respectfully disagree, there are plenty of Grey types out there, and selling him for an £18m profit, is exactly what we haven't done in the past and is why we are in this predicament.

 

[MikeH72]

Wtf has this come from?

We would be absolute idiots not to sell him for anything close to £20m if that rumour is true (I suspect it isn’t)

 

[COYB75]

Not a chance we'd get 20 mil for him. Concentrate on sorting out central mid and defence. Love all these stories about how we're going to sell around 5 players and get 70m upwards to spend on a new team. We also have a horrible record of selling the few good players we do have and then buying utter tosh to replace them.

 

[SJB]

Glides past players on his day, runs straight into them when it's not his day.

So you’d rather sell richarlison and keep gray

 

[4737carlin]

No, but, it's not worth selling gray because we won't get a big fee, and it won't be easy to replace him with what ever we get unless we get lucky, again.
At least Richarlison would give us a lot of money to spend.

I thought the days of us being a selling club were gone..

 

[jazzy]

Keep.

Sell. Them. All.

 

[BornBlue76]

He delivered that cross to DCL that kept us up. Quality player.. Important to have in the squad as a minimum.
