Archie Gray

[Bowlesinho]

The hype around him in Leeds is massive and obviously he's heavily linked to Leeds through his family.

I do wonder if we're looking at him for the inverted RB slot. He's positionally aware at RB, but naturally a CM, so would profile that position really well, with a view that as he developed he could move to the 6 or 8 position.

 

[CrazyKen]

He’s unknown for me, but asked a friend who is die hard Leeds. He said its the biggest talent they’ve seen in Leeds. He couldnt belive how good he already is.

So Im in..let us get him!

 

[Northernspurs]

I know the scout who scouted him. He reckons he has everything to be world.class. made his leeds debut at 15

 

[Misfit]

No idea who this kid is but already disappointed we seem unlikely to have a chance of getting him.

 

[FloridaSpur]

We from what I am aware, not keen on buy and loan back. Wish we would get away from keep coming up with that scenario

Why?

Worked perfectly well for Udogie, Walker and I think Rose and a player called Kane.

Better have a player keep fit, playing regular than just training at the club with no real playing conditions.

Udogie and Sarr were buy with loan backs and I think walker might have been. Don't think Kane or Rose were, they were just loaned to other clubs after signing.

Maybe we believe he is ready now.

A player with that level of ability playing as an Ange right back could be brilliant for us.

I'd be intrigued from anyone who has watched him, what he is like out of possession? How is he defensively and is he fast?

If we signed him it would clearly be for RB given the that we have Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur, Skipp and Bergval all in front of him for those positions

Not sure I agree - if he is to play as a 6, he would probably only have Bissouma ahead of him for next season.

He's Eddie Gray's great-nephew and Frank Gray's grandson. I remember that Leeds team and Eddie, in particular, running rings round us at the Lane in the 70s. This kid is really special - it's worth checking out the videos. Has all the potential to become a top-class DCM. I don't like to hype young talent, but it's no wonder he's attracting so much attention.

 

[Montalbano]

I don’t think he’d be athletic / physical enough to play RB in our system. Seems more suited to midfield.

 

[smithym]

Mate of mine is a Leeds fan, reckons he'll go straight to the very top and we don't have a sniff. Seems all the elite clubs are after him and won't want to miss out like they did with Bellingham.
He also said he's already worth £150m so I stopped listening at that point.

Fortunately it's not your mate who sets his valuation/price! If we really want him we have a good chance of getting him, as the "elite clubs" are relatively broke. I think a crucial factor will be whether Leeds get promoted or not.

He is obviously a very different sort of player to Bellingham but in terms of ability and how good he can be, he is certainly up there in his age range. I'd say they will be holding out for at least £40M.

 

[EssexSH27]

I’d be amazed if he isnt at least in the squad for England at WC 2026.

The kid has everything.

 

[eddiev14]

Hearing so many great things in this thread i decided to pop over to his YouTube. Thought he looked a bit meh tbh!

 

[worcestersauce]

No doubt Joe Rodon is telling him what a great move Tottenham is for an ambitious young player.

 

[stevespurs]

Watched the vid….bit too much like Paul Parker in a wig.

Seriously though, he could play 6 or even 10, 8 or inverted RB. His awareness of where the opposition was, coupled with great feet. I might start supporting Leeds

Mate of mine is a Celtic season ticket holder, says he’s never heard of him

 

[E17yid]

This kid does seem out of our reach to be honest. Fully expect him to be at Liverpool/City or some shit. Would love him obviously but we’ve got Bergval comm g in the summer who seems to be quite a similar type of player
