Definitely going to be a massive bargain this guy.

What is the song the fans are singing about him ? Couldn't work it out

 

[blueconverse]

Love him.

Why don't you come on over, Demari Gray?

When he's in royal blue and he's running down the left /

And the way he beats his man it just leaves me out of breath /

Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me....

The lad’s pace is frightening, gonna win is some key points late on I reckon this season

I'm starting to think those chaps complaining ten days ago about Gray being a waste of money may not know what they are talking about.

If everyone is fit I would probably use him from the bench in most games but would also be comfortable with him starting a few so Richarlison can rest. He gives us a different option due to his pace.

Imagine Everton fans being wrong about a player....

Who would you reckon or first 11 is messy?

I think our quality of squad is that poor that Gray would still be unlucky not to start.
Formation is important, but I think if we are playing counter attack this season he becomes vital.
Too many players with the pace of a slug in our squad!

Based on who's on the squad now I would go 4-3-3.

Pickford
Coleman Mina Godfrey Digne
Doucoure Allan Gbamin
James Calvert-Lewin Richarlison

Subs
Begovic Holgate Keane Nkounkou Davies Gomes Townsend Gray Kean

Gray is unlucky if he had been left footed I would possibly have played him ahead of James. 4-3-3 suits more of our players. If we went 4-4-2 he would play left wing and Townsend right with Gbamin and James dropping to the bench.

That will be the best bench in the last 5 or so years!
Have to see if James is up for it.

Yeah that in theory is a decent looking team and bench. Unfortunately we are Everton and it never works out that way.

I want to see what Gbamin can do with more games and better players next to him.
No more Delph, Gomes etc....

He needs time to get up to speed. Ideally shift Delph get someone else in who is good enough and ready so we can take our time with him.

Back to Gray he is potentially a very good signing and if silly money comes for Richarlison or DCL that could create a space for him in the first team.
