Might be what you've seen is some variation of that, but all these figures are guesswork. Arsenal's payment doesn't seem to be factored into the figure in the reports. Ultimately it's a bad sale considering how well he performed last year in a tough league. The same people who approved this sale bought a considerably worse player from a Mickey Mouse league for 3-4x that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of our greatest players over the decades have failed to cope with that pressure and expectation. Btw. Disappointed we didn't go in for Gray from Leeds. Imho, he has more talent and potential than any player we have in his position. Edited Monday at 12:55 by boratsbrother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xceleryx Posted Tuesday at 00:22 Share Posted Tuesday at 00:22 12 hours ago, Lump Of Celery said: Given that we had to get all these deals through before 1st July, can we assume the comments/briefings from the new owners were bollocks and things were absolutely not fine in regards to a potential psr breach. We don't know with entire certainty that we were going to breach PSR. Given that we haven't, the plan in place by those in charge seems to have worked accordingly. We'll now continue to sell players because doing so means we're going to be able to cover costs for down the road, but equally as important, allow us to continue to spend in the upcoming transfer window/s. Hard to see us not continuing to be active in the market moving players on in future windows, it's obviously been seen as a manner of generating additional revenue and without doing so we'd likely be pretty hamstrung considering no Champions League football, stadium limitations, and so on.

Also, let's not forget that the club actually spent money again before 1 July, hence the need to sell a few before. If we sell the likes of Gallagher, Lukaku, Kepa and Chalobah, expect a mad incoming transfer before the end of the window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you may have noticed, rightly or wrongly the owners are doing things very differently from Roman. Gray has huge potential and fits in very well with the owners profile of players they want to sign, so I'm surprised they didnt go for him. I personally don't care what league a player is signed from. Having real talent is all care about and Gray has real talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did well at Everton, not so well with us (injuries aside). Was good at Luton last season. Villa could be interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How am I being contrary, I was for D-H last season as a loan/option to buy. If I remember you shot me down? where is my statement wrong about buying a championship player or is it because Leicester got promoted D-H is now deemed a PL player, Also when did the club last buy an elite player? Seems with Max Fowler being hounded to death by the pack, they are looking for their next prey. Edited Tuesday at 16:50 by ROTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the right profile, but is that profile good enough for helping the team to the top 4 next season? I guess we will see how Gray fits into Anges team.
