He's a good player, but paying £9m for a player is stupid, stupid, stupid! As if the Dwight Gayle bid of £6m wasn't enough, they have a worse player now who cost 50% more! At least he is unlikely to turn them down...?
It's because he scored against them at the weekend. On the same basis, they also submitted a £4.5m bid for Derrick Williams, but then realised he was already their player.
I know I've been known for over egging Charlton players valuations in the past ,but Andre Gray has got got one heck of an agent, 9 million ... you're having a giraffe.
This will end in tears. They are a small club trying to act above their station in life. Almost embarrassing and desperate. I look forward to bankruptcy and admin in a couple of years when they are still not in the prem.
Krazy... Bristol City seem to do this every now and then. I'd never give Cotterill the cheque book. Him and Davies shouldn't be allowed near player acquisition.
When you can get Adam Le Fondre for a loan fee and wages, get your pace elsewhere.
Anyone remember Ade Akinbyi, Tony Thorpe and Soren Andersen? God they lucked out on Akinbyi. Good season but 3.5 mill???? Then Wolves to Leicester.

Bye bye Tony?
Absurd. It's little different to a judge or magistrate, finding someone guilty and then negotiating the sentence.
PS If I were Brentford I'd be strongly encouraging Gray to go, with a large golden handshake if necessary.
They can have World Cup wonder boy Reza for £9M though and we would throw in Bikey and Harriet for nowt to go with him.
