Accepting that we were in a shit position at the time, he’d have been commanding similar fees to gyro’s transfer.

No midfielder in league 1 ever was signed for anything like that

Dele Alli was probably the most comparable talent to have left a League 1 club before that, and according to Wikipedia he transferred to Spurs for an intial £5.5m.

To be fair haven’t we ultimately received around 6/7m for Maddison? We’ve not done too badly out of him

This is the apparent transfer record progression for L1 players, Delph moving to Villa is the highest

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/league-one/transferrekordehistorie/wettbewerb/GB3

Before him it was Leon Barnett, so if you ever feel you've wasted money on anything keep that page bookmarked to set your mind at ease

Also have to remember it was around 7 years ago the fee with its add ons for a 19 year old division one player was good.

It was said that there was detail re the financials still to sort, payment schedule etc (at the end of last week.) It's a very large amount for both clubs so they'll be feeling their way I guess.

It’s turned out to be a good deal over time, and we’ve been fortunate with how his career has panned out, but compared to the deals for Delph and Alli (two clearly inferior players) it seems a bit pedestrian.

For a few seasons Alli was the best AM in the country, it’s just in recent years his head has gone

Having just seen highlights of his interview on his upbringing im amazed he made it as far as he did.

You’re thinking of the Dele Alli of the last 2 years, back in 2018 he’d come off a season where he’d scored 15 goals and clearly looked like a main stay in Englands team. Dele Alli on form is as good as if not better than Madders

Delph was also a good player, not an AM but a very good DM

Sporting really need to wait another two hours before announcing it or the people on their forums will be shown up.

Executive Chairman Doug King said.

"After a long discussion, we have finally concluded a deal that is right for all parties concerned and confirm the transfer of Viktor Gyökeres to Sporting Lisbon.

"Viktor has made a huge impression in his time with us and leaves many great memories and we wish him every success with his new club.

"Once again, the quality of the coaching staff at our club has been showcased.

"This is a record transfer fee for Coventry City but as is normal will be paid over an extended period, with Brighton & Hove Albion taking a meaningful percentage share.

"We have already been active in the market as we rebuild for the new season and will continue to recruit selectively but these funds will also support the extensive infrastructure projects the club is undertaking."
