Yeah, we're really comparable to a team that was in the PL a few seasons ago.
Yeah, we're really comparable to a team that was in the PL a few seasons ago.Yep, that's exactly what happened at Sheffield United, they accepted Evertons offer of c22 million for Illiman Ndiaye, and off he wen..... oh, hang on ....
I agree who says he needs to stay in EnglandIm pretty sure Gyokeres can wait out the remaining 12-14 weeks left of the season and select the right move for himself instead of rushing this through and I’d imagine his agent and robins will be advising him to be patient if a offer came in last minute.
He may want to go to play for a European club for all we know.
Football is very global now plenty of foreign clubs paying big money for players.I agree who says he needs to stay in England
I think it's a given we'll all be 'chilled'.Hopefully by this evening we are all chilled and nothing bad has happened
Is that because we can't afford to put the heating on?I think it's a given we'll all be 'chilled'.
I can confirm he is not there todayCan someone check at Ryton this morning to see if Vik is training?
Can anyone remember a Cov player that turned down a move after the club accepted a fee? Only Misfud as I recall but he was asking for silly money to go to Bristol City apparently, he still wanted to leave CCFC and it was nothing about loyalty.
Weren't Blackburn offering less money?Dion Dublin turned down a £6.5m bid from Blackburn. A week later he joined Villa for £5.1m
Is anyone?I can confirm he is not there today
The players have the day off as it’s a Friday game this week. Sorry should have been clearer on thatIs anyone?

Nah, think we wanted him to go to Blackburn because they were paying moreDion Dublin turned down a £6.5m bid from Blackburn. A week later he joined Villa for £5.1m
Nah, think we wanted him to go to Blackburn because they were paying more
Ahh I meant in terms of wages, I remember the release clause thing now.Not to us. Somehow Villa knew *exactly* the terms of his release fee in his contract but Blackburn offered what they thought was the market price. Ofc he didn’t need to move house and Vile could have offered him more in wages
Or he makes the grade as a decent PL striker (8-12 goals a season), plays against the best players in the world, probably earn £50k a week, and improve his international ambitions.Vik is an excellent striker at our level. In the Prem he would have to really up his game to compete, he misses too many chances to be a really big hit. If he leaves Coventry it will purely be for financial reasons not because he will enjoy his football more.
He’s a star here and with a decent wage can still have a damn good life.
Say £15k per week for another 4 years here ?
It’s over £3m , how much do people want fucksake.
Naivety on my part I know but it’s crazy…
Sorry - was meant for the reply to yoursSo Nah meaning Yeah?

Good work. Greggs would be proud of you.The players have the day off as it’s a Friday game this week. Sorry should have been clearer on that
Where'd you get your binoculars from... they must be bloody good.Just seen Gyok going over Thelwall viaduct

There's plenty of players turning down Everton's advances. I'm sure Vik's agent will of been approached by other clubs representatives, offering a move at the end of the season or at the end of his contract.Yeah, we're really comparable to a team that was in the PL a few seasons ago.
Well imo it's not bad to not sell him , but I think eventually to improve the team all-over it will have to happen .Except in classic SBT style half of us think selling Vik is bad and half think not selling him is
You reckon clubs would be approaching him offering a move in 18 months time?!?There's plenty of players turning down Everton's advances. I'm sure Vik's agent will of been approached by other clubs representatives, offering a move at the end of the season or at the end of his contract.
Why move now to a club that looks odds on to get relegated? When you can have your pick of clubs at the end of the season.
If we sell him now it's because the offer suits the club, not Vik.
I think people are worried about nothing.
The Thelwall viaduct brings back bad memories.Just seen Gyok going over Thelwall viaduct
If City dont sell him now, then of fucking course other clubs will contact him. The club know that, so they'll offer a new contract, he will reject it, and we will sell at the end of the season.You reckon clubs would be approaching him offering a move in 18 months time?!?
You really think clubs are going to offer him a deal for 18 months time now?!?If City dont sell him now, then of fucking course other clubs will contact him. The club know that, so they'll offer a new contract, he will reject it, and we will sell at the end of the season.
That suits all parties. We get a decent fee, Vik gets a fat pay rise and the choice of whoever meets our valuation at that time.
We use the money as part of the squad rebuild.
Do you seriously think that football scouts don't talk to agents?You really think clubs are going to offer him a deal for 18 months time now?!?
Wow!
Fucking wow, to use the parlance.
Never understood the generalisation of groups of fans based on which social media platform they use. Quite often see, phrases like the one above, or "the twats on Twitter" etc.. Do we assume they refer to the arseholes on SBT etc? Surely there is an evenly split cross-section of society on each one, and the particular one (or more than one) you use doesn't define who you are. Why is it tribal?Honestly being able to sell a player for this kind of money under an owner who would let the management reinvest is exactly what this club needs (even though the morons on Facebook would have a meltdown) but if we did it today with no time to replace it would be a bit of a kick in the teeth. The rest of the season would be fucking shite.
