Maybe 17 in 21 actually depending on if what I'm looking at counting the goal in the current game
One of the dirtiest players of the modern era along with Ramos. Both still playing and at 41 & 37 respectively.
Tbf, even though it was a good move for him/us, the standard is wank. I think he needs to prove himself in Italy,
Spain or Germany before he can be ranked in the top tier of current forwards.
Standard's not great, but he's done it against the other top sides, Europe, and scored a terrific goal vs Belgium.
There's enough there that he deserves a go somewhere major, for sure.
It may not be the highest standard but Sporting , Benfica and Porto have a habit of buying players with potential at cheap prices and then making a huge profit. Look at Fernandez at Chelsea.
Tore Porto a new one .. Porto are a champions league side who finished level on points with Barca in their group
Some of us did. Just take a look back on his thread.
To the extent he's achieved? It was more he's got something, he should be signed permanently rather than he's worth £30mil all day long
I think you have a good point there. This is pretty much what I thought in April 2021
He was still missing some better finishing last season. Not the case now, he’s the complete package and just fantastic to watch.
This illustrates what a brilliant deal Doug King did re. Gyokeres, obviously there was no way he staying and at the time King stood firm and got a £23 million deal, plus extra should he move on that could be around 15% of £70/80 million.
The Vik money has financed what’s turning out to be quality additions and there’s a bit left plus some Hamer money.
Well done Mr. King.

I really hope he goes for big money. But that said the Portuguese top division is fairly crud. Bottom 5-6 prem and top 7-8 championship standard. If he goes to a top 6 Prem club he’ll be a squad “filler”.
Numerous players imported from Portugal say otherwise

Darwin Nunez although a couple of years younger bought for similar fee by benfica 24m Euros..was top goal scorer few years ago in that league.
That's the high end I suppose vik will go for..around £60/70M.
100m is way off the mark for that league.
I’m pretty sure they had a serious thread about signing him last summer.
£86m is his release clause so no one is going to pay £100m
I don't believe it is a reduction, It's reported we will be due 1M Euros if he reaches 25 goals this season . See post 227 in this thread.
