No joy in re-signing Julian Gray

It was hoped that City may get Julian Gray back to Ninian Park this week but the bid has failed.

No deal could be reached with Crystal Palace over the transfer. Lennie wanted Gray on a third month on loan while Palace wanted us to buy him.

An asking price thought to be somewhere around £300,000 was seen as too much for a player who will be out of contract at the end of the season.

The exact details of the possible deal are unknown so we will have to trust Lennie's decision on this one.

As a fan on the outside though signing Gray would have been a good move especially as we currently only have 4 fit midfielders.

Gray will be free to move where he pleases in the summer.
