rumoured to have agreed terms and passed a medical at Barnsley. Only rumours mind. Either way in the meantime shouldn't he be turning out for us ?

    Maybe we're concerned about him sustaining an injury which could scupper any deal.

    Not really, probably been talking to Barnsley for a while. We've got nothing to gain from playing him.

    Good riddance IMO. Not going to miss him at all

    don't buy into this "would be good at this level" crap as he'd still get crap service and still has no pace or first touch

    By that reckoning it wouldn't matter who we played up front then!

    by that reckoning we need strikers who are unpredictable, pacy and can make something happen for themselves

    Darren Bent? Andy Hunt?

    Bent and Hunt were both infinitely better than Gray and would be perfect.

    Dicko and mcleod could work out if they stay and Burton can do a job. There's a fair few journeymen at this level and a bit of knowledge will go a long way in this league and whilst they are not going to cut it in leagues above they are crucial to getting us promoted

    we will need a blend of youth and experience and for me Gray offers neither at this level

    Why? If he gets injured we are lumbered with him and his salary until January at least and in the meantime we need to be giving McLeod/Burton/Dickson etc experience of playing to our system and squad. It's evident that he doesn't feature in our plans this season so lets start without him. The worst thing we could do is to play him in the friendlies and then drop him for another striker who isn't match sharp.

    Most interesting part of this post BFL is that you think we have a system ;0)

    Unlikely I suppose but I'd like to see Gray and Mcleod as our strike force, with back up from Burton and Dicko. Dunno about Fleetwood.
