Emne: EX-SPILLER: Max Gradel

[pedro]

Max-ing on together...

[auren]

Gradel kommer seg forbi hva det måtte være, såsant han ønsker det sjøl. Husker han brilijerte for lc'ster mot oss forrige sesong også, hadde aldri trodd da at han skulle ikle seg Leeds-drakt noen måneder seinere, trodde han var destined for "større" ting .. Løp og kjøp!!

skulle gjerne sett at vi hadde kjøpt Gradel, men det skjer jo ikke.hva skal Grayson kjøpe for?monopolpenger?nei,vi får finne en ny å låne

Dessverre kan nok tilfellet være at vi har lite peng tilgjengelig også i januar. Skal vel kanskje ikke se bort i fra at Gradel blir utlånt i nye 3 måneder med den samme tilbakekallsklausulen.

Uansett; Gradel fortjener å starte neste ligakamp!

Gradel må starte istedenfor Vokes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Max time sammen med Beckford

[auren]

Virker som om Grayson gjerne vil ha en duellsterk og hodesterk spiller ved siden av Beckford, og da tror jeg ikke Gradel er tiltenkt en rolle som spiss fra start. Starter han en kamp blir det nok som ving.

Om Lc'ster tar imot monopolpenger har jeg ingen problem med det   

Nå brukte vi vel 250,000 på Bromby, så pengebingen er ikke helt stengt. Grayson har også utrykt at han ønsker at Gradel blir Leeds i lang tid fremover, for meg virker det som om Grayson er flink til å få viljen sin

Nå skal vi ikke ta helt av her! Mannen har nå snudd en ubetydelig køppkamp og score et rimelig OK mål, men han er vel neppe Vishnus gave til fotballen?

Skal man først begynne å bringe hindu-guder inn i bildet, ville jeg nok heller sagt Lakshmi.  
Uansett snakker vi ikke om Messi og deromkring, men sabla fin pubfotball på de britiske øyer.
Max'ern har skaffet minst 4 poeng ekstra poeng i "SamuelSmith-a-pint-for-a-quid-less" ligaen,
se det er det verdt å betale reve-lønna til elfenbensgutten Kunta Kinte.

Vishnu hadde forøvrig ikke særlig hell med med Harpal Singh.

Hvorfor funker ikke indere, pakistanere, tamiler etc i fotball forresten?
Riktignok beskjefter de seg med noen andre tullete idrettsgrener, men de er jo så vanvittig mange?

Han blir vel neppe noen Messi-as heller...!

Gradel not for sale warn Foxes



Leeds United have been warned off making a permanent bid to sign loan star Max Gradel by parent club Leicester City.
The Whites recently extended the Ivorian's loan spell until the start of January, and many supporters are desperate for boss Simon Grayson to try and sign him on a full-time basis in the New Year following a dazzling loan spell in which he has carved out a niche as an electrifying 'super sub'.
Gradel has already earned three man-of-the-match awards coming off the bench, the latest on Tuesday when his thrilling 89th-minute strike helped secure a last-gasp 1-0 home win over Leyton Orient.
But Foxes chief Nigel Pearson has issued a "hands-off" warning.
On Gradel, who celebrates his 22nd birthday today, Pearson said: "He's not for sale – it's as simple as that.
"Max is a player who has had limited opportunities here this season and that's why he is on loan.
"It gives him an opportunity to be playing games, which is important to us, while it's difficult for him to get in our side."

Kanskje det likevel er mulig å låne han videre etter januar også? Kanskje er det like bra, kanskje er han bare en "nivå 3"-spiller? Det må jo være en grunn til at han ikke får spilletid i Leicester!

[Xern]

Kjøp han. Om han ikke fungerer, selger vi han for dobbetl så høg pris:D

Gradel hints at staying on



Max Gradel hinted that he would be interested in a lengthy stay at Elland Road after inspiring relentless Leeds United to another league victory.
The on-loan Leicester City forward set up both goals in a 2-0 win over Oldham Athletic last night, raising his stock among supporters who once again urged United manager Simon Grayson to "sign him up".
Gradel is into the second month of his short-term deal with Leeds and has made a consistently positive impression, securing a late victory against Leyton Orient a week ago and laying on the chances for Neil Kilkenny and Luciano Becchio which settled yesterday's match at Boundary Park.
United will have the use of Gradel's services until January 2 when his loan expires but the 22-year-old has played only once for Leicester this season and would be rejoining a club who are presently in excellent form and competing for automatic promotion from the Championship.
His time at Elland Road has provided him with more regular first-team football – last night's match proffered a first league start after Grayson unexpectedly named 14-goal striker Jermaine Beckford as a substitute – and Gradel admitted his main priority next month would be to ensure that he avoided a resumption of the inactivity he experienced at Leicester.
Gradel said: "I'm very happy here. The season didn't start well for me but I'm playing first-team football and I want that to carry on.
"When January comes we'll see what comes up but everything's going well and as long as I'm playing, I'm happy.
"I hear (what the fans are chanting) and it's very nice but this isn't up to me. I'm a Leicester City player and I've seen the Leicester manager saying that I'm part of his plans. But I want to play first-team football and I'd go anywhere to do that."
Leicester's manager, Nigel Pearson, was quoted on Monday as saying that Gradel would not be for sale in the forthcoming transfer window, and Grayson and Pearson have not yet discussed the player's future beyond January 2.
Grayson said: "I don't know what will happen with that.
"I suppose that every player has a price on his head but Leicester probably won't want to sell him. We've not asked the question yet and it's not worth asking at the moment. We'll wait and see how things develop."

Grayson took a major decision by resting Beckford yesterday, choosing to trust instead in the untested forward partnership of Gradel and Sam Vokes.
But his strategy paid off as an unfamiliar line-up carried forward United's momentum by securing a 2-0 win, a repeat of their FA Cup first-round success at Boundary Park last month.
Robert Snodgrass and Michael Doyle were also omitted from the starting line-up, making space for loanee Hogan Ephraim to make his full debut, and Kilkenny's first-half goal set up a deserved victory which Becchio rounded off on 82 minutes, shortly after appearing as a substitute.
The victory maintained United's six-point lead at the top of League One and will take them into Saturday's West Yorkshire derby against Huddersfield Town on the back of five successive league wins.
Grayson said: "We didn't start as well as we can but once we got the goal we looked like an accomplished team again.
"We've won at a difficult place against a team who are difficult to beat.
"Regardless of what team I put out, I want us to win every game.
"Jermaine's got 14 goals this season and people might have thought I was taking a bit of a risk by leaving him out but the likes of Sam and Max are quality players.
"I've no problem with putting them in there."

Patrick Kisnorbo was omitted from last night's squad after undergoing a fitness test yesterday morning but the Australian international is expected to be in contention for Huddersfield's visit to Elland Road.

Det virker som om Gradel trives utrolig godt her, og til syvende og sist så tror jeg det er Gradel som bestemmer hvor han skal være.

[anders]

Gradel fungerer meget godt i League 1. Spes innhoppene mot Norwich & Leyton Orient har gitt resultater. Men skal han signeres på permanent basis har Grayson en jobb å gjøre med "attityden" hans. Han går fort sur og kjefter og klager på dommere og medspillere om de ikke gjør som han ønsker. Spes White fikk merke Gradels vrede mot Leyton. 

[nesehår]

Burde nok vurdere å la gutten ta frisparkene også.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUh8XQZelcw

Jeg mener at Nigel Pearson nå burde hente ham tilbake etter å spilt på seg form, men det kan virke om at han er langt nede i hakkeorden i LCFC. Ustabil humørspiller, det er nok vurderingen.
Tipper at han selv vil bli. Som plommen i egget i øyeblikket.

Grayson hopeful Gradel will stay
Simon Grayson is hopeful of retaining Max Gradel until the end of his loan deal amid rumours that Leicester City are considering recalling him from Leeds United.

Leeds United have told Leicester City they want to keep winger Max Gradel on loan for the rest of the season.
However, sources at the Yorkshire club say City would prefer a permanent deal and a transfer fee.
The Ivorian winger's emergency loan period at Elland Road ends on Monday and another short-term deal is not possible as Gradel, who is valued at about £200,000, has served the maximum time allowed under such a deal. The only option would be a long-term loan until the end of the season, and that would not include a 24-hour call-back clause.
Gradel, who has been a big hit at Elland Road and has become a favourite with the Leeds supporters, has stated he would like to stay with the club.
Leeds boss Simon Grayson has also made it known he would like to keep Gradel, but finances are still tight at the League One club.
Grayson has only paid one transfer fee for a player since taking over as manager in December, 2008. The rest of his transfer business has been done entirely through loans and free agents.
However, if Leeds sell striker Jermaine Beckford this month, that would provide the funds to buy Gradel. Beckford, who is out of contract in the summer, has had a transfer request accepted by Leeds and he could be sold for as little as £1.5 million, with Newcastle said to be interested.
City boss Nigel Pearson has previously stated he was unwilling to sell Gradel, but he has recently said he would have to have to wheel and deal during the January transfer window if he is going to be able to bring players in to strengthen his side's push for the play-offs.
It is believed Pearson has targets lined up but he will not move unless he can sell a couple of his fringe players.
Owner Milan Mandaric told the Mercury this week that none of the players currently making a first-team contribution would be sold and said it was the players currently out on loan that Pearson may try to offload.
Gradel made 19 starts and 11 substitute appearances last season, scoring twice, as City won the League One title, but he has found his opportunities limited this season.
The arrivals of Dany N'Guessan and Paul Gallagher in the summer meant Gradel made only one substitute appearance before being allowed to join Leeds on loan.
Striker DJ Campbell is on loan at Derby County until the end of the month, while Paul Dickov is back training with Leicester after his spell with the Rams expire

Kjipe greier!

[Tom S]

Synd.
Grei mann å ha i troppen, typen til å snu kamper.

Synd.

Enig!

Det lille jeg har sett av mannen tyder på at han var en meget fin såkalt "supersub". Som Simon Grayson sa bidro han med "something different" og var kanskje ikke den mest taktiske spilleren, men helt klart et uromoment som satte fart i et flertall av kampene han kom inn i.

Synd at han har dratt tilbake, en fin joker å ha i kamper!

[Rune Bergen]

Det betyr at han er med i morgen?

[SirOlsen]

Fordømt altså! Jeg hadde virkelig håpet å se ham bli Leeds spiller permanent!

[auren]

Synd Leicester henter han tilbake. Han ville vært fin å ha som supersub resten av sesongen. Tipper Grayson henter inn en ny vingspiller alla Gradel. Kanskje noen unge talenter fra PL?
Jeg er i grunnen glad for at vi ikke kjøper han permanent. Når han ikke er god nok for førstelaget i L1, så tror jeg ikke ståa blir særlig bedre i CCC.

Det hadde vært gøy med et par nye spennende signeringer. Come on Larry!!

[anders]

Synd. Vi mister en viktig bidragsyter i kampen om viktige poeng. Men vi kan takke han for seierene mot Norwich og Leyton Orient. Mot Norwich snudde han kampbildet alene og mot Leyton scoret han vinnermålet i det 89 min.

[MrK]

We need a cover!

Helt enig med du. Pr dato har han ikke spilt seg inn i første-elleveren vår, men har hatt en rekke viktige innhopp. Godt mulig spilleren har nok i seg til å utvikle seg til en flott 'første-ellever-type' på høyere nivå enn L1, men det er det ingen garanti for.
Håper Grays & co ser at en slik spillertype er viktig i en tropp, og som auren sier, at vi leter opp denne typen spiller

[Pettersen97]

Ser ut som Max e på vei inn i klubben på permanent basis
