Re: Andre Gray
No ill feeling towards him, was superb for us in the Promotion season and doubled our money (more than) on him.
Shame it hasn't worked out as he thought.

Yes, I noticed that. Not a happy bunny.

Agreed good player but would you pay what Watford did for him to bring him back? I wouldn't

Re: Andre Gray
I would take him back for £10m-12m - Gray or Wells as the pacy option? No contest, he would improve our squad for sure.watsonsclarets wrote:Agreed good player but would you pay what Watford did for him to bring him back? I wouldn't

If you're chasing a game and your record transfer striker doesn't come on, you know times up for him. He'll be at wolves next season, his "boy good club" with his homees.

Re: Andre Gray
Gray or Wells is a pointless argument. We know about gray, and we don’t know about wells. And from what I know of gray, I’d like to see wells have a crack at it BEFORE making a decision. With the way the other lads are shaping, he won’t get a look in and rightly so.
Oh. And gray is most certainly NOT a good player. He has his uses, and when you play to his strengths he can and will do a job for you. Trouble is his strengths means the team is one dimensional. Useful in the right team and set up, yes. Good player? No.

Re: Andre Gray
I agree he was good for us in the championship, but that's about it. Apart from his pace he offers very little. Colin may get more out of him next season.

Re: Andre Gray
Andre isn't a good player, far from it.
The way Dyche set the team up and the style of play we used to have made I'm look good & gave him the opportunity to score some goals.
We have moved on, he hasn't.

Re: Andre Gray
I don't think anyone disputes the fact we aren't missing him, and that the likes of Wood and Barnes are providing infinitely more at this level for us than Gray did last season - but he was a huge part of our promotion. We should always be thankful for his contribution to getting us here, we looked absolutely toothless till he and Joey joined towards the end of August that season.BennyD wrote:Really?

Re: Andre Gray
Some short memories on this board
What did Gray offer us other than pace ? Mmmm let me think - oh yes just remembered....20+ goals and an integral part of the team that won the league.
We set up the team to make him look good ? Aaah isn’t that thoughtful of us.
Gray did great for us. He then wanted to leave for more money - just like Ings, Austin, Rodriguez, and many other centre forwards we have had in the last few years.
Since leaving Gray has struggled for sure - and he probably will end up leaving but let’s not forget Watford are a basket case of a club.
Personally i’m very happy with his time at Burnley and equally happy we made £10m profit on him.

Re: Andre Gray
Duchess masterclass. Gets the most out of a decent player and makes huge profit on him too. This has been a model for our success and in many ways Andre Gray’s career is a victim of Dyche’s brilliance now. Serves him right fo being greedy. Was never up to this level with us so I’ve no idea how anyone thought he’d be up to this level without us.

Re: Andre Gray
Absolutely. A good Championship striker and a mediocre Prem striker but the gangsta image and the pop star g/f has screwed him. Having said that, he got the goals that helped to get us promoted so, good on him. However, the big money move had turned to dust because he hasn't got SD looking after him.jedi_master wrote:I don't think anyone disputes the fact we aren't missing him, and that the likes of Wood and Barnes are providing infinitely more at this level for us than Gray did last season - but he was a huge part of our promotion.

Enjoyed his goals for us but never really took to him - always had a feeling that he'd be off as soon as he could. Hasn't worked out for him at Watford but at least he has more money in the bank.
Re: Andre Gray
He did very well for us, however his attitude whilst here, then during his move doesn't exactly get him hero status.
Thank you for what you did whilst here, but good bye, you reap what you sow.

Re: Andre Gray
Keane doesn't function properly without Mee and Barton can't function properly without SD. Like any good team,. you improve when crucial members move on. It's all about man - management and SD can do that. Andre Grey was a good player in the Championship (with the service he got) but outlived his usefulness to us in the Prem. There hasn't been many strikers who couldn't trap a sack of concrete who got the Championship striker of the year.

He was excellent for us, we did well whilst he was here and we're doing well now he's gone. I don't understand the negativity around him, he scored 26 goals in the Championship during a promotion season and carried the team on his back for large spells during that season. Who cares if he doesn't have a good first touch now? he was a damn good player for us.

Played a huge part in getting us promoted. A very shrewd purchase and possibly the biggest reason for us winning the Championship outright, The points we got from his goals were immense. He sadly got greedy -the grass was greener....... etc

He isn't our employee anymore and frankly, he was paid to do what he did.
If he is no longer happy with his new job,that's his problem.
Nostalgia and teary eyes about "what he did for us" are quite pathetic

Some big clubs in The Championship next season. They’ll be a lot of clubs chasing his signature.
Re: Andre Gray
I always got the impression he used us as a stepping stone and was never really happy here. Most stepping stones though get you up or at least on the same level,alas in Andre's case has fallen into the river. Still his girlfriend can cheer him up with a few songs.
Re: Andre Gray
Don't have a problem with him. Did well for us while here. Don't think he ever really settled up North and wanted back down to London. Like others who have moved on has never hit the heights he did here. This does make me wonder how much of it is down to SD and just how good SD really is as a motivational manager.
