I guess someone must have lumped money on us for some reason

 

Seems highly unlikely, but you never know

 

I've never got why Burnley would let him go? Would be an odd turn of events all round, although I'd take him. That being said, if he was actually around the £20m mark, surely we could get a foreigner who is probably better for that same kind of money? He got 9 in 32 last season, and a third of those was a hat trick against Sunderland. I'm not sure he's any more proven at the top level than Troy, and probably in fact slightly less so.

 

He's like a less injury prone Assombalonga.

He'd break with pace and score some goals, but he's also a sc*mmer, so he's probably a bit of a thug.

 

He's quick though so will better suit Silva's style of play.

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooo it's my fault. I thought I was being on Demarai.

 

Slightly faster but slightly sh1tter version of Troy

 

I believe that is a fair assessment

 

Would absolutely love this.

A quick pacy striker who's a good finisher. Running onto Deeney or Pereyra through balls

 

I think Wolves being 4/1 second favourite speaks volumes over the legitimacy of this story.

 

But he isn't actually a Luton fan is he? He just played for them, which means this move would enrage them, which means I LIKE IT.

 

Would Richard Keys come with him?

 

My thought is - wow isn't it impressive how the bookies have somehow managed to get all this free advertising just by offering nonsense odds in tiny markets.

 

Those guys really understand how to use the modern interweb

 

Didn't he get into trouble last season for some highly tasteless tweets from about 2011? And he's played for L*ton???

Homophobic chav. I wonder what RC's opinion on this is....

 

The Watford Charter places an immediate embargo on signing any player with the surname Gray.

#Neverforget1984

 

Yeah, banned for 4 games. Breathtakingly crass tweets, even for a footballer's dodgy tweets.

 

Hitc?

 

Hold your breath for 30 seconds and it should go away.

 

Honestly?

 

Deeney goes through meatballs pretty quick but that's about it.

 

Hope not, scumbag.

 

Keys has just resigned from the scummers board...

 

Would be suprised with this. Banging in some goals pre-season.
Must need the money for Perez!

 

I'd put them about equal in quality.

Gray's pace could be more useful away from home though.

 

Don't want this homophobic scummer anywhere near our club.

 

He's a speedster on FIFA, so it's a yes from me.

 

He's from Wolverhampton.
he's represented by the 'GestiFute' agency.

The one headed by George Mendes. They already have a number of players at Wolves.

I'd be very surprised if he ends up anywhere other that Wolves.

 

Been in talks for weeks....

 

Would be absolutely disgusted with this signing.

 

Are Boro not interested?

 

Here we go again...

 

I just googled and read those tweets he got into trouble for. Originally I was like "what's a few tweets from 5 years ago got to do with anything," but then I read them and I would be happy with us signing him, only if he's had a brain transplant since then.
