Padlad Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Not really sure where all the hate coming from all sounds a bit sour grapes. He has no vested interest in us, it really shouldn't come as a surprise we had an offer accepted ages ago, today proves if the players keen the transfer can go through pretty quickly, had he wanted to come here he would have already.

Phileas Fogg Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 A lot for him to live up to now justifying that price tag. I rate him as a player but that's a heck of a lot. Amazing how Burnley have broken their transfer record on him and not in the prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheatus59 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 How anyone can blame him for choosing Burnley over us I do t know. We apear to have had him in front of us and not made a compelling argument. Football-wise we are cony compelling..... Recently promoted, no real pedigree and one look at the table..... so unless the financial argument is more than compelling we won't get this type of player.... is this SL's strategy? Make us look ambitious on the face of it without backing up with the wages? One way or another it is hard to see quality players joining us without having to pay a premium at this late stage of the window..... Hope I'm wrong. Everyone seems to doubt we are offering decent dough , no one knows that , just guessing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalRed Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Good luck to the lad. He will definitely help Burnley finish on the edge of the play offs narrowly missing out on 6th spot to Brentford. ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalRed Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 The ultimate smackdown will be for us to finish above Burnley in the league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaceboy Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Bit disappointed he's not coming but he's not the first player to turn us down is he.we move on and try for another, who would love to play for our club.these things happen for a reason and gray was not meant to be.

slartibartfast Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 try for another, who would love to play for our club. Trouble is, the only people who would LOVE to play for our club are employed (?) by the gappers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted August 21, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Who's up for some serious clutching at straws.... Gary has unfavourited the tweet that said "you can do better than them!" I wonder if that was anything to do with me? I had an argument with a Brentford about his lack of respect in favouriting that tweet that he was tagged throughout. Maybe my argument resonated with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Totally agree, there must be some Aussie/American players out there that could improve us for good value too and no language barrier. Funny you mention it as Reading is in for American Gyasi Zardes from LA Galaxy and he looks a good striker. Would tick some of the boxes as a 22 year old and athletic. Don't know much about his work rate and finishing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Think personally we dodged a bullet here. Not that I don't rate Gray, just think it was an obscene amount of money which should be better spent. I feel no bitterness toward him, he has probably made a good decision. I do feel slightly embarrassed for the club though, failure with such a bid is not a healthy association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Next Saturday should be a bit spicy then...he's either gonna haunt us again...two Saturdays on the trot...or SC will get Flint to kick him out the park... Don't you mean two Saturday's on the trot. With one Saturday in-between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And feel other clubs will now take us to the cleaners believing we will spend endless amounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
