If the Saudi’s still want him then they need to stick a few million more on the price tag just for the shit over the last few days.

But you believe everything your mate in the under 21s tells you? Why is that any more credible than the manager saying it? The fact of the matter is that so far Gray hasn’t disputed what Dyche has said. If Dyche had lied you know full well Gray would have said so on Instagram to force a move in the next couple of days.

Actually, we don’t know that. Harrison has not been confirmed as number 11, in fact, at the Doncaster game his number on the programme was 30. On the club website Gray is still 11, Harrison still doesn’t have a number. In all likelihood Harrison would have been given number 11 if Gray left, he might if he does leave before the end of the week, but he’s not yet.

Not really. It imbeds YouTube on the phone, but not Twitter. Where’s Louis when we need him? @Louis fix it please!

How can you go from saying no one know what’s gone on to saying it’s all Dyche’s fault? Ridiculous.

Iwobi played when he was fit, even though the club knew he wanted to leave. If Gray wasn’t being picked when we were so short, maybe he needs to look at Iwobi and wonder what the difference is between the two of them. Maybe Gray wasn’t fit, and I don’t meant he was inured, but pre season was very much about effort and commitment. Maybe he didn’t put the effort in that the rest of them did. Maybe he wasn’t as fit as the players who were playing, maybe he didn’t work as hard as them to get fit. Iwobi also left with everyone’s well wishes, didn’t cause any shit on the way out. Gray making Instagram posts before he’s even arrived in Saudi. Who does that help? Self indulgent.

Gray is leaving because the manager and director of football don’t think he’s good enough. Why has every club got rid of him after a couple of years?

For anyone that doesn’t want to open the clickbait link, it’s an article based purely on this tweet from Joe Thomas. https://x.com/joe_thomas18/status/1697666797338497297?s=46&t=yZXCMwiLrh88x9fKYHnsfQ

I only ever use my phone.

No, we can buy him at any part of the loan (we could buy him tomorrow if we wanted to) as the loaning club, during the term of the loan, for a fee that was agreed when he signed his contract last year. When his loan is over anything can happen, anyone can try to buy him from any league in the world. Every player has final say on where they go, no player can be made to sign for a club against there will.

I don’t know if I’m finding it funnier that Southampton fans aren’t impressed with him, or that Mark didn’t imbed the tweet properly.

Imagine if we had a master negotiator who could have got him in back in January

I know!!!!! It’s bloody rubbish isn’t it? Mark has altered the settings in the control panel so only he gets automatic imbedding from Twitter.

We don’t have an option, as we don’t need one. The terms of his contract with Leeds is that he has a relegation loan clause and a relegation release clause. As long as Leeds are not in the Premier League we can take him for whatever the fee is.

Went with Beto. We need to get the ball to him as often as possible. Every one of their defenders seemed to go down injured after trying (and failing) to tackle him.

I feel sorry for you, buying a shirt with his name on.

Jagielka.

I just want to see him dominate and be a bit more proactive. He’s got it, he’s got everything. Just want to see more. I know he’s young, no doubt he’ll achieve big things.

It’s not an obligation, we can just activate his release at any point.

I’d say that’s the most balanced squad we’ve had in some time. We've had more talented squads, but the cost of those squads had crippled us. There are two players for each position. There are a few young lads to be involved in Branthwaite, Onyango, Dobbin and Chermiti. Most importantly; we need to see McNeil, Harrison, Gray, Beto, DCL and Dele fit and contributing.

He could be in the team today.

If he’s not going he needs to be back in the squad asap. Don’t expect him to start, but he’s an option.

If he’s still here he needs to be part of the squad. He’s one of few midfielders we have who can pass a ball. Don’t see him starting but there will be times he can be useful.

We’ve also just brought in Danjuma and Harrison, if they can’t do more than Iwobi we’ve got big enough problems. If Iwobi was good enough maybe we wouldn’t have been so close to the drop A guy who in those last two years you speak of scored four league goals in 66 appearances. Hardly set the world alight. Danjuma scored 13 league goals in 42 appearances in those two years. McNeil scored seven league goals in 74. Harrison scored 13 league goals in 71. Should Iwobi start above any of them anyway?

I can’t even respond to that.
