I’m sure he wouldn’t admit it publicly, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t regret leaving us straight away. MR has been the only manager to get any output out of him. 5 times his salary? I doubt he wasn’t on much with us in L2.

‘Nice trim boss’

Fulham may end up losing Mitrovic which is why they’re still keeping tabs on Gyokeres. Gyokeres could definitely make the grade at Brentford too, I think he’d compliment Toney well too.

… The Empire Strikes Back

Agree, the ‘supposedly’ is key word and ultimately that interest needs to materialise. I don’t think we’re in a great position per se, but we’re in a position where multiple teams want our player and therefore, they’re competing with one another rather than our asking price. To apparently go...

Our leverage isn’t the length of contract. Our leverage is the amount of teams that supposedly want him. Literally half the premier league is said to be interested in him. Brentford have lost Toney, Fulham may lose Mitrovic, West Ham, Wolves, Palace and Everton all need a striker… There’s also...

Plus the sale of Declan Rice. Gyokeres would be most ideal for Palace or West Ham. I honestly think we could get £25-30m for Gyokeres if the starting bid is £17m. There’s a lot of competition for his signature!

Not if bigger clubs come in for him. It’s one thing not wanting to be recalled from a loan and another to actively choosing them over a field of clubs on a permanent basis.

The sale was probably rushed because fans were getting tetchy about the season tickets not being on sale. In a single booking, I can see the immediate issues with booking 4 adults to 2 tickets when the offer very clearly states 2:2. That was communicated clearly. If it was done over 2...

In one transaction, my guess would be that the system was set up to identify the additional adult and child rather than splitting it down. Split over 2 transactions, it would fit the logic i.e. 2 adults, one child. In the given scenario, the system would probably be wondering why 2 additional...

I know that’s how it works, but does the club allow the logic on the website of one user buying 2 JSBs and 4 adult tickets in the family zone? I wouldn’t think so. The club should’ve given a clear date and time of when the sale would begin because a lot of people (including myself) were caught...

The club? Drop an email, phone them or go to the ticket office. The website clearly states the price for 2 adults and 2 children. If I was responsible for getting ST for more than 4 people in an in-demand area, I’d find out if it was actually possible in the first place. I hope everyone gets...

Did you take any precautions to check things would work properly online? The family zone offering says 2 adults per 2 juniors. That’s probably why you had issues. With limited availability fans can’t really moan when they miss out rather than blaming the club, Ticketmaster or the weather. Read...

I’m sorry, but the family zone is already ridiculously cheap. For an adult it’s £10.86 a game and for my brother (U18) it’s £4.35. The family zone can’t just keep being extended - people who are interested should’ve been on the website as soon as the tickets were released. I logged on as soon...

I’m certainly not devaluing him. If he had another year on this contract, my asking price would be £35-40m comfortably. He’s the best striker I’ve had the pleasure of watching for Cov and I believe he’ll make a good Prem striker. It’s undeniable that his conversion rate isn’t the best - 13.2%...

Certainly not the point I was making. It’s more of a consideration for Gyokeres’ potential suitors i.e. if they struggle to create chances perhaps they need to find a more clinical striker.

Potentially, Gyokeres missed the most clear cut chances this season and last by a significant margin. However, he also had the lowest xG of the top scorers in the league which suggests his chances were ‘harder’. He’s still developing as a player so there’s no reason he cannot be a solid 10-15...

Which Sporting Lisbon are trying to do but they don’t have the financial clout. A Prem team will pay £15m for him comfortably. The Championship is as good test for strikers hoping to make the step up. Toney, Mitrovic and Watkins have all made big impacts in recent seasons. The only red flag...

He’s contracted to us and it’s up to us to decide what we sell him for. From his POV, I’m sure he want to make the step up because he’s ready, but with all the teams that are mooted as being interested… we’ve got leverage. In comparison, because the interest in Hamer is not so obvious, we don’t...

It makes it easier for the club to police the new season ticket system in relation to juniors tickets.
