Ideally you are correct, but as last season showed how you start the season doesn't set your season in stone. It is far more important that we have as strong a team as possible come September and the season afterwards, which in all likelihood means we will have to wait, not only for the better...

I suspect the agent stands most to gain from selling Gyokores to Lisbon. Probably sorted himself a higher commission from them than he would get for a deal elsewhere!

Well it looks like we do :) I suspect Lisbon do too, as I'm sure its primary in their minds that they can make a decent profit on him following a successful season or two in Portugal. Sure I also read that they intend to have a buy out clause in his contract set at a ridiculously high figure...

He would have been likely to do it our League 1 winning season if it han't been curtailed!

So Lisbon won't pay over 17m, but nevertheless will then put an 80m transfer clause on his contract? I've mentioned it before but if we feel we have to sell to them under those conditions and end up selling him cheaper than our value of him, them we should seek to counter that by insisting on...

On the OP's message!

QPR was the 2nd time he left. Having looked it up though Grendel is in fact correct that 1st time round Gould left after defeat at Luton, which was a few days after a 5-1 defeat at Leicester, a game where he bizarrely invaded the pitch at one point.

Maybe not with their teams right now, but put them in the PL with the guarantee of PL money then both Rangers and Celtic would challenge towards the top. Luckily there is no chance of that happening.

I don't agree with it being a big punt to take at this stage. We are still over 2 months away from the end of the window and relatively few transfers are going through, other than to Saudi Arabia. Its a bit of a silly season right now, fans are bored with no football to watch and next to no...

Ideally he would be sold by now & MR could get on with the rebuilding job. However circumstances are dictating otherwise and I agree with the club trying to get a higher value for Gyok than offered by Lisbon. It could give us the extra financial clout that might make the difference in extending...

Given he had played nearly 20 SPL games before we signed him at 18, I honestly expected it wouldn't be too soon before he was challenging for a 1st team place, but in the end he never even got close. This move seems best for all concerned.

We had to take the lower price for Dublin as the price was written into his contract. Pretty sure that's not the case with Gyokores.

Never been to the new ground, but best game I went to at Filbert Street was a 3-0 FA Cup win after I think Boateng was sent off. Worst was a 5-1 defeat after which Gould resigned.

Yes, but not for Gyokores. Even if he happened to stay with us he wouldn't have to come to pre season training for a few more weeks, as he's only just finished international duty.

Scottish crowds interesting there. Were Celtic and Rangers not so big then?

Yes in terms of numbers, but in relation to the League 1 winning season the most influential newcomers on our season came after it had started - O'Hare, Walsh & Godden.

If he absolutely insists on going to Lisbon and 17m is their limit, and so we have to take a price below our own value, then we should try to insist on a 50% sell on clause to make up for it. Unfortunately, I still think this has a few weeks to pan out yet. Gyokores has only just finished his...

As next week is the last week before the players will be back for pre season I would expect some new players to come in before they return. In contrast to Shmmee's fantasy team, the team currently likely to start at Leicester is: Wilson Eccles McFadzean Bidwell Burroughs Hamer Sheaf DaSilva...

When did it start? Am sure they signed O'Dowda from Bristol City last Summer. They also had loan players including Kipre and Kaba, both of whom I'd be happy for us to sign.

I hope Leicester sell Maddison before our game with them. Can see a scenario where he scores the winner but doesn't celebrate, which would wind me up as much as if he did celebrate :)
