    Rumoured that we are in talks with Leicester for Demarai Gray who has one year left on his deal.

    Would be an excellent signing at this level. He's still lightweight and with poor decision making but quick and good dribbler. Bit of an Aaron Lennon.

    Harvey Barnes, Praet and Perez have all pushed him down the order so it would make sense.

    Would be a good signing at this level

    Suggests Sarr is off though... if we didn’t know that already

    would be a good addition. He tends to play left side so may not affect Sarr. More a delofeou replacement i would suggest.

    Would love this one to be true.

    Whilst it's likely that Sarr will move sooner or later - this seems like a Pereyra/Geri replacement

    Good signing if we can get it done.

    Can’t see it unless we can shift Geri, Peryra and Sarr for good fees.

    Geri could be off as soon as this week. I doubt we would need to sell all three to get one replacement.

    can he play left wing back?

    If this is actually the source of the rumour it is 100% made up, for sure. I can't see why Gray wouldn't be able to find a newly promoted club, for example, who would take him off Leicester's hands if there's one year left on his contract - he's not become what some thought he might, but he will certainly see himself as a Premier League player at this point in time.

    Is there a source other than bizarre twitter account? Would be a great addition but don’t see it happening.

    He's a really good player. I'd be delighted if this was true, and for that reason, I don't believe it is.

    Never been particularly prolific, but is only 24 and has played 120 premier League games in the past 4 seasons. In the 14/15 season he scored 6 in 41 appearances for Birmingham at the tender age of 18. Home grown. Good signing imo.

    Perhaps we can play loan games - Loan with a compulsory purchase on promotion?

    Bizarrely, a quick scan suggests Leicester fans do trust this guy. Posted quite a few correct things. Still don’t see it, we don’t have money to spend and don’t need his wages.

    Does anyone know if Demarai Gray is a mercenary or not? If he is then this rumour is almost certainly true

    Yeah I gather he is considered a pretty decent source for Leicester news, although as with all these ITK types it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

    He only has one year left on his deal and has very much fallen out of favour, particularly with Under's signing. In a recent press conference Rodgers suggested he wouldn't stand in the way if he wanted to leave.

    I wonder how much he would likely cost and what wages he would be asking for.

    He always reminds me of the councilor in the Batman and Robin OF&H episode.

    Played a beautiful ball for Chilwell to score their goal in the first game of the restart, albeit under very little pressure. Has struggled for game time and consistency in the Prem, but in the Championship, I'd be happy with him, we can't rely on Joao Pedro to play every game

    I'd be amazed if true. Easily premier league standard.

    I could see him leaving Leicester, but would be very surprised if he left to join us.

    He had a lot of promise, but I don't think he is any better than the inconsistent player he was 3-4 years ago.

    Think he is one of those players opposition fans think is great as he always looks unreal when he pops up on Match of the Day, but Leicester fans really don't rate him and I would guess Brendan doesn't either which is why he only featured 20 odd times last season.

    Think bottom of the premier league / top of the championship is probably where he is at and at 24 he needs to play week-in, week-out.

    And his surname is similar to an existing Watford player's surname. Spooky!

    I would peel Pereyra, wrap Sarr up in his rotting flesh and hand deliver him to Goodison Park if I thought there was a chance we’d sign someone like Gray who could rip this division apart

    ....which is why this isn’t happening. Now, Chris Eagles on a free is a different story
