I'd really love to see them all out (Coleman retiring/moved to coaching)
Fact is, we are shocking in the transfer market. There is no way we ship all these players out and get in substantial replacements. Can see most of them being here next season unfortunately.
Not sure of the anti Demarai Gray sentiment. Very strange. Only way I see us selling is if its for a big profit but not out of necessity.
Rest can go but I agree our transfer dealings are terrible. We can't buy before we sell and we're rubbish at finding replacements if we sell first. Lukaku situation springs to mind.
Demari Gray is fine as a squad player.
Has been a bargain at £1.7 millions.
Agreed, really don't understand it, he's a tidy player
Remember Thelwell is our DOF now so things will be done at his pace rather than Brands'.
What a window under Lampard/Thelwell looks like we'll soon find out
Gray i thought was dreadful when he was linked and when he joined...as in totally rubbish. It made me angry that we signed him.
However he did well (same as in Germany) and definitely was worth the £1.7mil fee for his 1st half of the season contribution. Then of course hes tailed off again...as he did at Leicester and at Leverkusen.
His last league goal was on the 6th December which was 20 games ago. Some suggest he wouls be a good sub / squad player.
But surely we want to have players pushing or rotating with one another?
I wrote previously id sell for £10mil. I think we may be able to get £15-20mil for him as his wages are low and hed work, like Keane for a team playing deep and counter attacking...
When you compare him with Brennan Johnson, id rather take the Gray money as perhaps 50% of the Johneon fee. Roll the dice and hope Johnson becomes a superstar rather than keeping a squad player / sub like Gray.
Gray is far too predictable and selfish and seems to struggle when he doesnt have space.
