You can't judge someone one a few minutes playing in their preferred position. He clearly has excellent composure, ball control, passing, etc. That's why people are excited.
He also has a clause that he has to play or be sold for what the miser payed I reckon.
When I saw Gray's thread pop up to the top straight after Sarr's I thought FFS, what's he broken/ruptured/sprained/torn?Now Sarr is injured will it be a case of.....
He's here; he's there; he's everyfuckingwhere Archie Gray, Archie Gray
Gray ruptured Levy's wallet but fortunately nothing else.
i dont think anyone is thinking hes going to immediately go in there and be the saviour, much like bergvall. they are going to be BIG players for us in 2-3 years time.
Which sort of suggests our recruitment strategy is terrible. Given we don't need big players 2-3 years down the line. We needed players to play at the top level now.
we do, but you also have to have an eye on these sort of players, gray and bergvall in two years time could be out of our price range!
Perhaps, I mean Bergvall yes, definitely given his price. But the price we paid for Gray, that's a lot of resources to commit to long term.
Gray hasn’t even been tried at CDM for us yet. There’s literally no way for us to tell if he’s a hit or a dud in that position- no one has given him the chance. Given how well he’s done elsewhere though, do you really think he would be a flop at CDM?
yea we paid a chunk for gray, english tax and all that. but he does look good, i mean the pair of them are still kids. in a couple years they could be 100m plus players quite easily. they are already making an impact sooner than expected. i think they are exciting and im happy we have the pair of them.
