Think he has the talent to be a good player.

Just think we need someone better than him at the moment.

Apart form have more game time in the PL, i dont see how he is any better then Nkoudou who has spent the last year getting to know our system and the team.

Slightly underwhelmed by this. Decent enough youngster to mould but not sure he is what we need for immediate impact this season. Lets hope he's the 'one more possible' option rather than the 'almost done' option Herc mentioned...

Pure opinion but if the Goat is right and 28m gets Sess, and 30m gets Gray, a deal makes no sense... Sess can cover wing positions

Energy? Surely this is a wind up. Are you sure your not mixing him up with someone else?

If this was for < 10m i'd be all for it, but 25-30m is absolutely nuts for a Leicester bench warmer, even with the currently inflated prices. Would he have made a difference against Chelsea or Burnley? Would he see more game time than GKN, or our other £30m flop? Doubt it, seems very bizarre to me if this story is true

I wouldn't mind Gray, only on the assumption we get another wide forward also. Alone, he's not the solution to our problems, but as a backup, I've got no problem bringing him off the bench over someone like Sissoko, but we simply must sign a more established player who can play in the front three behind Kane.

Do you know what does my head in? The arrogance of some fans to think their opinion is the right one and everyone else is thick as shit. Some rate him and others don't, that's the way it works. At the moment, yes, he's a player with potential. But the end product is woeful at times and surely people can understand why Leicester bench fodder is underwhelming. Personally I would like the player but not as possibly our only attacking signing.

Over rated imo. The English N'koudou.

I must be in a minority that likes gray then, always been impressed when I've seen him play and think he could be moulded into a quality player.

But with an extra 20 mil added on because premier league teams are rolling in money.

Nkoudou at least can dribble. Gray only runs

Hey may have potential but at the prices quoted our limited resources would be much better spent elsewhere on a player with actual end product.

This is exactly how I feel. The boys electric. I think he'll be a great signing. My only reservation is that he hasn't got many games for Leicester.

Just to say what everyone else already has £30m is just crazy but then so is the market. No doubt Poch can work with him to improve him and if he does that Levy will make his money from a young English AM. Just find it hard to believe that he can't get in the team at Leicester but could improve our squad?

Only positive is he is better than Sissoko and that would mean less game time for him but seeing Balde valued at 32m makes you wanna cry about what might have been.
