Apparently not if we see the general reaction to Doug King increasing ST prices... Club has more revenue, it has more resources to offer more expensive contracts for new/current players.

Lisbon are a club who needs to routinely sell talent and their all time transfer record fee is €16m. They’re not impoverished, but cannot compete with Premier league teams for money.

West Ham, Palace or Brentford would be the best Prem destinations for him in my view. A strong £25m is a great start if it’s true.

Which was always going to happen if any Prem teams genuinely want him. Sporting Lisbon are team with modest resources. They wouldn’t be in the conversation for a young and top performing Championship striker on a longer contract. I’d be rather shocked if he ended up in Lisbon. Either we’ve...

Unlike Bristol, we didn’t know what league we’d be in until the playoffs were over. Early transfers doesn’t really mean anything. MR and Viveash know what they’re doing so we’ve just got to be patient.

He’s 35 turning 36 this year, and just like Messi and Ronaldo, no club is willing to give them big, multi-year salaries. If there was an imaginary ‘fantasy draft’ of all the top players… would you be drafting a Benzema, Ronaldo, Messi… or a Haaland/Mbappe?

I can’t see Europe being dislodged as the footballing powerhouse as of yet. Home of the biggest teams and competitions. Ronald and Benzema are impressive draws, but they are players that are not at the peak of their powers. Sure, good players will flock to the league, but who dreams of winning...

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...
