Viktor Moving on (5 Viewers)

[chiefdave]

Doesn't a lot of this come down to what has been agreed. Have I imagined that there were reports last summer that he'd agreed not to push for a transfer at that point and in return for staying another year they would let him go this summer.

If there's been some sort of handshake agreement and now Sporting are trying to derail his transfer then I can understand him being very pissed off. That's a very different situation to just deciding out of the blue that he wants to go and then essentially going on strike when Sporting don't step aside and let it happen.

Also hard to have too much sympathy with Sporting when they essentially did the same to us. Seemed that Vik and his agent were only interested in going to one club and we could easily have done what Sporting are doing now.

They are letting him go.

For a price that they deem market value for their asset.
Current market value by the way: a) not what value was “shaken hands” on last season and certainly not b) whatever value his agent decides is appropriate

Sporting are simply doing what we give King praise for, getting the best price and deal that suits them

Unsure how genuine this is - found on twitter

Ah shit he signing for Chelsea, Lampard must of been on the phone telling him to blank Arsenal

 

[Nick]

Easily argued he did that with us. Luckily we were good little Coventry city with a big sale and were grateful.

Sounds like it’s nearly finished from Ornstein.

Mind you, I’ve seen the exact same update over the last 6 months at least weekly.

 

[Cov4Ever]

Mr know-it-all thinks it's done.

 

[Cov4Ever]

Must admit Romano's views have probably tripled last few months, he's been saying the same things online and getting attention bias.

Glad its done though. Use it wisely Doug.

Seems to be official now

hope so but forgive me for waiting until he is pictured in an arsenal shirt

Fair enough

Great move for Vik and for arsenal , I truly believe after several games getting used to the league he will be a monster

Agreed - i think he'll be a massive hit for the Arses, and the fee will look like great value.

 

[rob9872]

Back them now to win the league before the price crashes

 

[CovveeBreak]

I'm genuinely so in love with how much he's burned his relationship with Sporting fans

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Glad that this has apparently finally gotten over the line; will be a thrill watching a player we watched thrive under us take the PL by storm, which I have no doubt he will

 

[Martw]

So circa £3.2 million to us??

 

[rob9872]

Yep with another £750k to come potentially

Not confirmed by Arsenal or Sporting, so it has still not happened....... yet.

 

[mrfr]

“Viktor, how does it feel to finally get it over the line and what’s the welcome been like from the lads?”

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Hope he has a fantastic season and that Real Madrid come in for him at £200m next summer

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Take care of him

 

[skybluecam]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Vik for his goals for us etc.

But anyone else think he’s a bit of a bellend. Forcing moves and not turning up for training etc.

Vik is 27, not 21. Just had the best season of his career. This was almost certainly his best, and possibly only chance to move to a truly top club as the main man. Don't blame him for making it happen.

And the excuse when he did it to us?

He's a good player, but clearly a bit of a knob

I didn't blame him at all for leaving us?

Sporting was a big step up, top tier football, fighting for major trophies and playing in Europe. Can't really begrudge him that. And we got a very fair price for him.

Yes I'm not on about the fact he left. The way he goes about it, especially with that prick of an agent and all the posts Fabrizio was putting out.

 

[long way home]

Vik deal drops i then think we see multiple ins coming over next 10 days. Im sure this was the deal we were waiting for to get our stuff going. Definitely more moves out from the current squad as well.

We may see Tofollo, Dolan, Travis and other names linked tirn back up again.

ITK's suggesting we had spent the Vik money on KKH.

 

[long way home]

Could that be the 2mill paid for the 5%, we took last year. Lets hope we get something thats available for FL with Vik going. Let hope Gus goes aswell

It's his agents job to get him the best deal he can for him.

And if that means telling him to strike, have public tantrums, and get agents to whore him out in the media it makes Vik look a knob as a consequence.

but if he hadn't done it he might not have got the move

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Lol course he would have got a move. Zip him up after you’re finished with him.
