Never should have…….not bid for himAbsolutely flying this season for Everton.
To be fair it was about seven years ago when we didn’t bid for him.Never should have…….not bid for him
Well it certainly took him long enough to finally “git gud” !https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ay-to-proving-himself-the-steal-of-the-season
The Steal of the Season!!
Oh, what might have been . . .
I was talking to him after a reserves match at DC many years ago and he would have liked to join us I would guess he was a teenager in those days.Rumours of failed bid from us
I was against us signing him in 2014 as it was scary rumoured money for an unknown young teen player in Championship, I didn't want anything distracting us from getting promotion in the season we did win the league at the Valley.
Looking back seven years later he's had a decent career won a PL title with Leicester so he can't have any regrets, he's got very good pace and a bit of the unknown that can change a game and he probably would've done well for Eddie to but I'd say in all honesty he's a poor man's Sterling and Sterling is not a complete player or finisher by any means but the same age and looks prolific compared to Gray. Gray had 19 league goals in 7 years prior to this purple patch with Everton, yes he's had a journey and experience has helped him but we'll have to see as he approaches his prime years.
Thing is, Gray would have consistently played for us, I don;t think that happened at Leicester (could be wrong).
Would he have realized his potential quicker as a result... who knows.
But like you say, doubt he regrets it, winning league title wasn;t a given for him by a long shot.
