Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted August 20, 2015 I''ll put it out there, why all the speculation of Griffiths, Jelavic etc when for me Andre Gray would be perfect for what we need.Every time I have seen him play he has impressed.We know how much they want, let''s stop messing around and just go and get him.

Katie Borkins 1 Posted August 20, 2015 Rather sign Peter Andre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 557 Posted August 20, 2015 Quite simple ... He is too expensive for us to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted August 20, 2015 Quite simply he is not as good as we have already , why waste £9 million and not improve . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted August 20, 2015 Unfortunately we missed out on Peter Andre, strictly got in first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich T The Biscuit 562 Posted August 20, 2015 Really, no better than RVW or Hooper.He was one of the stand out players in last years championship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 20, 2015 Speak as you find and when we have played against him he has been a handful we could do a lot worse than some of the dross being linked. As for his fee we know championship players who are any good are in the £8 to £12m zone. If Bristol City can come up with a £9m bid i would be bemused if we could not given that we have spent very little yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,760 Posted August 20, 2015 Wouldn''t be a terrible signing. Cost is high but I guess his wages wouldn''t be as big a problem as Austin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted August 20, 2015 I''d 100% prefer him to Jelavic/Griffiths/Lafferty/RvW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 20, 2015 Im with you York, prefer him to those 4 and he will only continue to improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkngood 1,087 Posted August 20, 2015 he is better than RVW and Hooper ,...... Why because he is on a upward curve and has confidence and can improve ,the two we have are going downhill and i really can not see playing at a standard of the premiership again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted August 20, 2015 Good player, has bags of pace and can finish well (see FCR a couple of weeks ago) but does also miss a fair few a la our very own Grabban. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted August 20, 2015 [quote user="Branston Pickle"]Good player, has bags of pace and can finish well (see FCR a couple of weeks ago) but does also miss a fair few a la our very own Grabban.[/quote]In which case, is there any point? Perhaps that''s why we haven''t been linked with him. Mbokani and Afobe were the 2 players I was most excited about, but if they''re not happening and there''s no one else like them then maybe we will sack it off after all and stick with what we have.. I don''t think that''s what we''ll do though personallyI just hope we don''t make a Becchioesque signing i.e. swap Hooper for Griffiths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
York Canary 28 Posted August 20, 2015 What about Shane Long? Rodriguez is back and they already have Pelle so I imagine Long will become 3rd choice. He would be a cracking player and can do the lone role well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted August 21, 2015 Could he "cut it" at Prem level? In any case didn''t I see £9m mentioned for a transfer, or have I got the wrong Gray?He would certainly not be worth that price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
