Comes from Higashimurayama I see. Would be a shame not to mention that in his song. Perhaps an opportunity to contrast his skills with those of Ronnie Farmer?
Yes, some people are taking it as 24m plus add-ons, but it's probably including add-ons. Either way, we are paying quite a small fraction of it for Simms, who may not be quite so frighteningly direct, but has qualities I've never seen in Gyokeres.
Vik's attributes seemed pretty obvious to me right from the time of his loan spell, so I never really got the negativity. What a fantastic asset he has been at Championship level. But I can't help thinking the pendulum of opinion has swung too far the other way. People assumed there'd be a queue...
A horrible day despite eventually staying up. I remember several times towards the end of the game the Villa fans started cheering, clearly in response to deliberately started (but false) rumours that Luton had scored meaning we were going down.
Not sure I've ever seen a player similar to Vik tbh.
If we're lucky we'll somebody of a similar standard, but they surely won't play the same way. He's a one-off, in good ways and bad.
