If this happens, he should be given some rope by the fans. For a start we don’t know if his publicity is true, or tittle tattle, not a complete player , but with a bit more consistency a more than useful addition. If people are going to compare him to an inform Zaha, it could be hard for him and them, but on his day ,played to his strong points can be very effective, as long as we don’t try and turn him into a central striker could work out well.

Very well put and I agree entirely.

If he does arrive, I'd certainly get behind him and hope for the best of Gray regardless of any background noise. If we were to get that he'd be a very good buy indeed.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Schlupp is a better player than Gray. That says it all. It’s a poor signing and too much money for a bench player.

Gray is a winger, our system would suit him. I would suggest we have seldom seen Schlupp on our wings, despite not a wealth of options, as he is not seen as a suitable or consistent enough player to fill that role.

I'm a big fan of the Jeffrey, but saying he is better than Gray strikes me as odd and a somewhat unexpected comment.

The Olise story is going the same way as the earlier story’s on Guehi, and Andersen,. In twenty four hours ,everyone are interested in him, now it’s Arsenal . The only surprise would be if no one was interested. That’s very different from making solid worthwhile offers.

My point being that I am not a fan of Schlupp but do think he is a useful squad player but not a starter. Why are we signing players who are no better than our current crop of weakest players?
