Sounds about right tbh. Rodon is worth 15m at least.
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.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.
Not sure we need the six now.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.
To be fair, it's pretty big money. £40m for an 18 year old.He's the right profile for us. Young, eager, huge potential.

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.
Woolwich are in for Kimmich.
We are signing Archie Gray.
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.
This is the key.I’d like to think that our new setup with data will reduce the amount of ‘misses’ we have with transfers.
Maddison, Bergvall, Biss with Udogie and Gray as inverted fullbacks - don't bother pressing us!
The papers are talking about the possibility of Woolwich enquiring about Kimmich.Woolwich are in for Kimmich.
We are signing Archie Gray.
Are they ‘in’ for Kimmich? Why would he want to leave Bayern for Woolwich.Woolwich are in for Kimmich.

I know that sounds great for us to have that depth. But do you really think that Eze really wants to share game time and play out of position when he could play a full game at number 10 at any other club.
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.
The market is bonkers now sadly.To be fair, it's pretty big money. £40m for an 18 year old.
