The suggestion of a "Andros to Leicester £7 million + Gray" deal raises a simple question - Why would a team who has shown very good intuition in buying players (i.e. Leicester not us!) do this deal? Answer - a. because Andros is a very good experienced winger who will get the ball into Vardy etc for classic Leicester goals and, b. because he is much better than Gray.
It also begs the question why we would want to do such a deal. What will Gray offer to a FDB team that Andros doesn't?

The man responsible for Leicester's good deals left last season and went to Everton

Leicester have offers for Gray at around £20 million and Mahrez wants to leave to Arsenal. Buying Townsend gives them a replacement. We can't sell Townsend unless we have a replacement. Gray to me seems a replacement and the extra £7million will go towards another player we need. If Leicester want it to happen then Gray needs to come other way. He will get first team football which is what he wants

how about a certain Dwight Gayle as another striker option, read on sky they may be looking to offload wouldn't be too expensive?
