Archie Gray-EFL Championship Young Player Of The Year
Deserves his own thread now he is in the first team picture.
16 year old midfielder from the famous Gray family.
Jesse Marsch is a big fan and it wouldn't be at all surprising with 5 subs allowed next season to see Gray join that elite group of 16 year old Premier League players.
In fact Jesse Marsch said that Gray will play this season and he is considered a first team player.
A more creative spark than many of our cm options but with a tenacious edge.
So will Archie be our breakout star next season?

Re: Archie Gray
Really rare that for a manager to do that for someone of Archie's age.
Fair play to Marsch.

Started today ahead of Bate and Shackleton. Would make you think those two might both be going out on loan. I mean if Bate sticks around, it puts Gray about 5th in line.Cjay wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 9:14 pm Deserves his own thread now he is in the first team picture.

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
Jesse has always been keen on bringing young players through to the first team. Tyler Adams is one of his early examples. He will trust the talent and has a way of building a young player's confidence.
I have not seen young Archie Gray play yet. But I've read the positive comments here on MOT and look forward to seeing him this season.

Think we might see Gyabi in the match day squad soon too

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
The 5-sub rule for next season is a big game-changer in giving young players opportunities. Add the spectre of injuries and suspensions, even increasing depth in our squad means we don't have to worry as much about muting the development of the youth on the periphery of the first team squad.

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
It is written, wherever it is they write these things, that Leeds can only be great if there's a Gray in the team ......well buckle up folks.

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
exciting player, might struggle to get on the bench though this year given the improved strength in depth we have now - but he's got plenty of time ahead of him!

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
Good to hear. Big things expected of this boy...

Started ahead of Forshaw, Bate and Shackleton actually.andrewjohnsmith wrote: ↑Thu Jul 07, 2022 9:24 pm Started today ahead of Bate and Shackleton. Would make you think those two might both be going out on loan. I mean if Bate sticks around, it puts Gray about 5th in line.
He started ahead of those 3 against Stoke also by reports. Was Roca + Gray.
It will be interesting to see where Marsch fits him in vs Klich in the pre-season tour.
It's obviously going to be Adams + Roca, but not completely inconceivable to think we see him every few games with the 5 sub rule if he's the 4th in line CM that plays 2 x CM's.
Can't sign a pro deal until March 2023.....
Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
Impressive performance from the young man vs Blackpool last night.
Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
Archie looked good last night and he loves to run at the back line, his passing is good and he’s brave so would give us something different, my worry would be he’s a little lightweight, gets pushed off the ball by them bigger boys so injuries could play apart if he’s not protected.
But I definitely wouldn’t complain if we saw him in a few games this season

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
From what I've seen looks a very good prospect.
Can see him getting a few minutes here and there off the bench this season.
As been said previously once he bulks up a bit can see him been a regular starter in a couple of years.

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
Absolutely! We've always been a club that brings through our own players and that must continue. Despite Orta wanting to fill the u23s with other clubs' players.

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
First team fringes maybe, he won't count against the 25 named first team squad members but even with the match day squad being 20 players (11 start, 9 bench) it's difficult to see how he gets onto what looks like a very strong bench next season.

Re: Archie Gray- Is now considered a first team player
Your'e right Rat, Archie is still a little lightweight, only natural at his tender age.Ratscoot wrote: ↑Fri Jul 08, 2022 6:53 am Archie looked good last night and he loves to run at the back line, his passing is good and he’s brave so would give us something different, my worry would be he’s a little lightweight, gets pushed off the ball by them bigger boys so injuries could play apart if he’s not protected.
