Don't really get the Gray hype and I think spending anything upward of 30m on a teenager who hasn't played a lick of top flight football is mental.

But if the club thinks he ticks the boxes needed and got it done, fair play. He's going to get lots of minutes next season so hopefully he can live up to it.
 
He's the right profile for us. Young, eager, huge potential.

We have been on the end of a few poor championship moves though i.e. Sess & Spence. Both looked much bigger prospects at the time of signing.

I'd rather we gambled on these players than big money on average squad fillers. Covers two positions that will allow us to let on someone like Emerson Royal move on.

I'd imagine it's something like 20m + add ons + Rodon.

We've leveraged the fact that Leeds want Rodon and Rodon wants Leeds to get the Championship YPOTY.

We've seen the likes of Bowen, Eze, Olise, Wharton come from the Championship and tear up the PL.

Can't complain that we missed out on those and also complain when we sign the next one.

Our data led approach means there must be something. Lange very clear that they’re scouting for Postecoglou too.

It’s a lot of money but like Palmer and Gordon, it’s great value if he plays well. Always a risk he’s a Sessegnon…

This is the first summer with Lange and co so let’s see how it goes…

I’d like to think that our new setup with data will reduce the amount of ‘misses’ we have with transfers.
 
Cool! Haven’t seen much of him but hope he’s in the Dele/Wharton/eze bracket that can step up.

Glad we’re up and running! A lot more still to do!

Do we think he’ll play mostly FB for us or as a DM?

We still need a dribbly winger - Doue
Attacking mid to compete with mad - Eze (can also play wide)
A striker (fuck knows…)

Then a left sided defender that can play LCB & LB

Also a 6 prob…

Plus a lot of ours

Hojbjerg, Regulion, Lo celso, Spence etc etc

Crikey.
 
Happy with the Archie Gray signing looks a real competitive young player , he does all the basics very well and versatile too.

He could go on to be an excellent player for us for sure

I think that Gray coming in to rotate with Porro will help him in this regard. Sess and Spence came in with the expectation to start and be good from the word go.

Archie will have the luxury of starting out in the understudy role and getting to settle. Kind of like Trippier behind Walker.
