Will Gray leave or stay?!
Gray is in the rumours again. Is he looking to leave Leicester this season? Numerous clubs have shown interest in him, and at his young age, is he worth a punt?
He has been with us for 4 years now, coming onto his 5th season in a LCFC shirt, and has he proven himself enough for us?
He is a good player, and has shown that last season, but when he is put on the first team sheet, he seems to under perform, but when he comes on off the bench for the last 20-30 minutes he is one of the best players on the pitch! So it is hard to say if we should keep him or sell him, especially if he wants out of the club…
The latest rumour is that Aston Villa are interested in signing him, again for around £20 Million… Is he worth selling to them?
Despite the obvious squad regulations factor, it’s hard to understand why anyone would be in for Gray whether it’s for a fee this summer (£20m has been mooted) or on a free next.
There can’t be many players that have been rated so highly as a youngster and then just failed to make such a mark. Gray has featured in the Premier League 132 times yet has only provided ten goals and 11 assists.
18 of his 21 appearances this term were from the bench as Brendan Rodgers favoured other players, which is hardly a good sign either.
Yet Rodgers believes “he has all the tools to play at the very highest level. If you look at speed and power, and explosiveness, technique; those are attributes he has.”
This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say…
“Personally it is hard to say. One one hand, you get £20 Million for someone who has not shown his potential and lived up to his expectations, but then on the other hand, he could go to Villa or Spurs and have an amazing season and play his best football yet. Maybe that is what he needs to be a good player, which it would be a shame to see him go, but it is what it is with a player like Gray…”
What do you think about Gray and his future at Leicester? Will he stay or will he go, and do you want to keep him or sell him?
