BS4 on Tour... Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Some people will boo him even though they don't know anything about the reasons he didn't come here....a waste of energy really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BcFcOneLove Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 He doesn't deserve any stick or criticism, let us show some class and let it be seen that we're not bothered by his rejection of us! Having said that, it would be very pleasing and humbling if we could stuff them by a few goals and just subtly sing "Andre what's the score"?

Slack Bladder Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Some people will boo him even though they don't know anything about the reasons he didn't come here....a waste of energy really. Yep, I would like to make him feel as uncomfortable as possible Just like we used to do to Jamie Cureton. Of course you don't have to join in.

Might be nice if he scores two OGs then gets himself sent off and starts crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Some people will boo him even though they don't know anything about the reasons he didn't come here....a waste of energy really. In SC's post match interview he said that Andre Gray would have signed if we'd have met his Wage Demands, not sure if that was the only reason though? He also said that Gayle didn't want to come as he didn't want to drop from the Premier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I am glad we didn't get him 9m was a ridiculous amount for a championship player. United sold RVP, Nani and Rafael for around a total of 12m. Something is wrong somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Turning this around, I would fully expect Burnley fans to give this a bit of banter, whatever we do. He has already played well against us once. See no reason to further motivate him, but if we are three nil up, and he misses a sitter, I am sure we will indulge...

Tomo Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 I watched the Burnley Player interview he gave. Basically said he has felt really unsettled during the speculation about his future. Then commented that he had spoke to "Bristol" as everybody knows, but as soon as he heard that Burnley were interested it was an easy decision - he's not going to say anything less than that to be fair. Do we give him stick on saturday? - not necessarily but if he misses a sitter or has a poor game, I am sure the City Faithful will sing 1) "what a waste of money" - 2) 9 million and your having a laugh, 9 million and your having a laugh bla bla bla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Really not slightly interested in gray debut, only worried as he's already scored against this season!!

BRISTOL86 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Give him stick from the outset and you know it'll backfire horribly. But if we're wining comfortably.....let him have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just completely ignore him..............silence speaks volumes My sentiments exactly Tone but alas i fear we will see quite the rather silly opposite from many inside The Gate. He will probably start on the bench. Be brought on sometime in the second half, score a goal after his first touch and give us a nail biting 20 odd minutes...... But we will still win 3-2.

havanatopia Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 I would just add that consider this... City were in fact very savvy with their bids. The publicity i feel has for starters done us absolutely no harm at all. We bid what we bid but never had any intention of breaking our strict wage rule. And the purpose of it all: we thought we might be able to get either Gayle or Gray, obviously, but the fall back is that our players know that we are not going to upset the wages aplecart and that will be a supreme motivator for all of them. I think it has had a positive effect and of greater togetherness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
