Really funny you should say that,; i saw that photo of the Luton defender with a handful of his shirt, about a foot away from Vik's body, thinking - one of those skin tight vests, greased up or whatever, and it'd cut out about 75% of the defensive tactics against him. Be horrible for Vik having to play in a top like that though. Maybe wire him up with a top that transmits electric shocks?!

The shirt pulling was becoming a joke by the end of the season, refs just ignoring it. I also thought he might be better off wearing a skintight/smaller shirt (like nfl shirts)

Says the price tag for him is €20million, so roughly £17m. Would take that.

The headline says €13m! (roughly £11.2 million)

We are very used to seeing Vik as a premium transfer target, but for big clubs outside England he is going to be seen as a value option - indeed, six months from now he’ll be available for nothing.

From that same newspaper


Gyökeres agent admits Sporting contact​

Ali Dursun spoke to our newspaper​

• Photo: Reuters

  • The possible hiring of Viktor Gyökeres by Sporting is still in the exploratory contact phase but these have already taken place so, at this point, Sporting already knows what it needs to convince ..."

And the rest is hidden behind a "premium" paywall.

And a fun comment on the story by someone with Benfica in his username:

"They have good taste there, but when it comes to pulling out their wallets and doing the math, like good penniless viscounts with a mania for the rich, they have to turn their focus to the Gitane boutique in Cascais."

It’s mind boggling how blasé referees are about shirt pulling. If it’s in the box it’s a pen.

England had some rugby shirts that were dam near impossible to get hold of, should have sorted him out with them.
In sky blue of course.

That photo should be shown to the referees organisation asking if that is a foul or not. If so, why not given, if not - why not.

They may well be interested but I don't see it happening.

They're a pretty big team, one of the three biggest in Portugal and usually get into European competitions.

This story stinks of an agent release. The kind of story designed to remind everyone that he can sign a pre contract with European teams in 6months so they best not mess them about once the bidding starts.

I've said it before but we really aren't in as strong of a position that some people seem to think we are. We can't piss about too much trying to play hard ball. When he goes it'll be for a big fee but his agent and him have a lot of clout still.

Yeh agree, if he can get a mediocre or higher prem team he'll go there but if it ends up its only someone like Burnley who end up making a bid he'd definitely be better off at Sporting.

Even with the best ref we’d had all season nothing got done. And it’s as obvious as you like so much be being let go by refs intentionally. There’s no legitimate reason to pull a shirt so it should be a foul every time shouldn’t it?

Probably true, but if there’s 5+ clubs seriously in for him, then we can definitely afford to negotiate hard on price.

Yeah they're in the Europa league.

I just think the Premier league would be more attractive to him (both financially and in terms of stature).

True but if he fancies a move to a team that is not offering as much he can dig his heels in.

I'd kinda want to keep him at that price... give it one more shot at the big time. I really want us to be ballsy if you don't meet our valuation do one.

This is the big difference compared to previous sales we've made.

I'm guessing Maddison had a few interested parties, but have we ever really had a proper bidding war on a player recently?

Maddisson was sold against his wishes as we needed the money to stave of embargo’s I think Wallace was chased by a couple of clubs.

You don't get a bidding war if you take the first offer that comes along, there must have been several clubs interested in Robbie Keane though, as we more than doubled our money in around 1 year

Think someone mentioned this on a thread before but we definitely have a better striker than Man United - Weghorst not as good as Vik despite that wonderful WC goal.

As he has one more year left CCFC are in charge not his agent.

He’s not going anywhere unless the club agrees a fee.

If several clubs match that fee then it’s up to Gyo and his agent where he goes.

That’s when the negotiations take place-sign in fee, wages etc

But cannot so that without club agreeing on a fee.

Wasn’t there some dodgy goings on where CCFC did not own Kean, he was someone else’s property.
