With Gray, it is.I don't get the "Watford sub" comment.
Kent was a Liverpool under 23 player, Goldson couldn't get a game for Brighton, Hagi wasn't a guaranteed starter for Genk. They are three of our most important players.
Some players find themselves out of favour with their manager and it's not always down to ability or lack of.
Genuine question, what would you define as proven?. A guy who has played a bit at that level or a guy who has done well at that level ?.Good god people turning up their nose a proven EPL striker like gray yet are happy to sign guys like Kamberi, if we keep gray fit and happy he will destroy the SPL with ease.
With Gray, it is.
If you check out Watford f forum they believe he has lost his pace and is nowhere near the player he was 3 years ago.Aye because the quality of a player is dictated by transfer fee, and there have never been any examples of over priced shite in the market, ever.
Solanke went to Bournemouth for approximately £20 million having scored 0 goals for Chelsea with 0 appearances, 7 goals in 25 for vitesse, before banging in an almighty 1 goal in 21 appearances for Liverpool.
On recent form, Andre Gray at 29 years old is absolutely not what is required and after struggling badly with injuries the jury is out on whether he has anything left in the tank given that his biggest attribute was pace which is now absolutely non-existent.
Unless he's getting released to get off the wage bill?So your saying now we’re out right buying him did you not say originally it was a loan ??
He proved himself as an Elite championship striker and scored 9 in his first season in the premier League with Burnley which is very good for a newly promoted side.Genuine question, what would you define as proven?. A guy who has played a bit at that level or a guy who has done well at that level.
Looks like he's not in his prime though.Only recently turned 29 is that almost 30 ? He will play until he’s what 34. That’s 5 seasons .
I think a senior / prime player at CF would be very good for us , coupled with a breaking talent eg Maja that to me makes sense
I agree, we will need to wait and see. Whilst i don't necessarily rate him very highly, the proper due diligence will have been done by the club so if he signs then o'm confident he will be a success.He proved himself as an Elite championship striker and scored 9 in his first season in the premier League with Burnley which is very good for a newly promoted side.
The question is whether Watford was just a bad fit or if he's lost all his ability. I'd say the former is more likely.

Folk still believing Pinocchio?
Transfer fee and we would need to make him highest paid player at club. For that outlay you'd need close as you can get in football to a guaranteed 25/30 a season. For me there's nothing to say he will get you those numbers. Loan for a season fine. Permanent not for me.
The key Q is does he fit the roles we would have available , it’s the same Q for every signing isn’t it .Looks like he's not in his prime though.
He had one great season in the championship with Burnley, his season at Brentford was similar to that of Waghorn's at Ipswich. I'm sceptical, but as I've said if the club take him then the proper research will have been done. Players who have done well in England have struggled in Scotland, so i refrain from using the "he'd score goals for fun here" idea. Personally, i don't see it happening but if it does i'm confident in the recruitment team.The guy was a top level championship striker came up with Burnley and scored 10/11 goals in the first season in the epl , Watford has been a bad move for him but he’s more than good enough to Tear up the spl.
It's also very easy to lose your way at a club like Watford they have a new manager each season implementing a new system and he might just not fit in. They have also sent though some amount on strikers in the last 2/3 season which says more about Watford than it does Gray. I personally think the ability is still here it's the hunger I'd question does he really want it. Is he hungry to score goals again and be part of something successful.He proved himself as an Elite championship striker and scored 9 in his first season in the premier League with Burnley which is very good for a newly promoted side.

Of course YOU wouldI’m calling bullshit on this one and I say it won’t happen.
Of course YOU would
Tongue in the cheek BTW
Just raised this with a Watford ST holder I know. Sorry to say he confirms that he is indeed a wrong un and keeps unsavoury company.Think he used to play for Wycombe when I lived nearby in Marlow, if I remember correctly.
He had some Headbangers as mates . Hopefully he has grown up since then.
CBC fan ?Just raised this with a Watford ST holder I know. Sorry to say he confirms that he is indeed a wrong un and keeps unsavoury company.
Doesn’t bode well

Wingers?Skov Olsen or Kerk
Andre Gray and Maja to replace Alfie please.
I remember when Burnley pumped us a few years back, Arfield and Grey were the standouts.
I know it was a while ago but I think he’d do a job for us.
You never will get it. Because it's not an issue and it's just excuses for people. It's the same as the relegation argument. Ake to Man City. Robertson to Liverpool. Zungu to Rangers. No differenceI don't get the "Watford sub" comment.

Well playedCBC fan ?
"We were told" is another classic I see on here. Who told us and who is "us"?I made the Watford sub comment.
We were told when Gray left Brentford that he was the next big thing. He wasn't,isn't and never will be.
He's as bang average as they come and had he been operating in any other country he'd be worth max £2m.
As regards Kent, this is a big big season for him. He didn't cut it,for me last season. I know this is tantamount to sacrilege on here but that's how I see it. Hagi, I rate, as long as he's played in the correct role in behind a striker. He has the imagination that Ryan Kent lacks.
With Hagi taking this position is just dont see him or Kerk being targeted. Wonder if theres a loan deal to be had on SkovNarrow inside/wide forwards not touchline hugging wingers. Skov in particular is suited to us. His goals cutting in and getting shots away are impressive. Scores from range too.
He's been playing a lot recently for Bologna in comparison to first half of the season, he doesn't suit the wing back position though.With Hagi taking this position is just dont see him or Kerk being targeted. Wonder if theres a loan deal to be had on Skov
Hopefully nothing in it.17 pages and no indication that this guy is coming to Rangers from the Club officially.

Doesnt totally make sense. Rumours happen all the time. Clubs dont confirm or deny (unless categorically in the press) and the only confirmation by Rangers itself is usually with a head above their scarf.17 pages and no indication that this guy is coming to Rangers from the Club officially.
