I cannot see CCFC getting a penny over £15m for Gyokeres.
Is he worth more than that, not in my opinion based on the fact that Gyok has 12 months left on his contract.
It's claimed today in www.hammers.news that west ham are seriously interested at £20M. I have thought for a while that he will go there, and nothing has happened to change my mind.
Sportings is a disgraceful offer.
Would be looking for atleast £25m with this much interest though.
So how much are you saying he goes for?£25m for a player who has never kicked a ball in the Premier League and has one year left on his contract?
No chance.
Adam Armstrong was sold to Southampton with a similar contract length remaining for £15m (reported). City might get lucky if other clubs get into a bidding war, but clubs will be looking for proven quality and Gyok doesn't have that in the Premier League so will be a risk to any interested clubs.

I think you will be pleasently surprised then.£15m - £18m IMO.
Similar goals per game records as well.
Armstrong a goal every 2.5 games for Blackburn and Gyok is getting a goal in every 2.3 games for us.
I think you will be pleasently surprised then.
Gyokeres offers a lot more to teams than just goals compared to Armstrong.
Portuguese teams are nowhere near as flush with money as English teams.Indeed he does, but IMO we won't get £25m for him. Would be happy to see it, but given Sporting's opening offer was less than half of £25m, it's clear clubs don't rate his value as high.

But it’s not an auction, it’s more a game of chicken. We can see opening offers of same 15m - we have to decide a figure to accept or risk teams dropping outpeople not realising that when you have 4-5 bidders, the 1 year on his contract is a bit of a red herring
it is an auction based on who will pay the most for him
I would expect a minimum of £20m with a couple of quality loanees thrown in (not of the bournemouth variety)

They need to re-name Football Manager. And it suggests that this (very difficult one, if I remember correctly) franchise was decades ahead of its time:Becuase these days most football clubs operate a director of football model, the players are brought in to fit a system as is a manager. It’s a continuity thing - basically the manager effectively works with what he’s given

I’d be gobsmacked if he went to sporting Lisbon
New article today. Sporting know they have to break their transfer record and they are willing to… going to heat up in the coming days.
But it’s not an auction, it’s more a game of chicken. We can see opening offers of same 15m - we have to decide a figure to accept or risk teams dropping out
if say we accept 17m it means the other teams are likely to bid 17m not trying to one up each other
Why? Its a big club and often a gateway club to very big clubs. Can 100% see why someone would go there over a garbage Premier League club like Burnley...I’d be gobsmacked if he went to sporting Lisbon
I'd put Gally on a par with Nuddy at least!I do think some people on here are down playing the fee due to one year left on contract. Vik has a special talent and is up there with Cyrille, Dion, Keane, Nuddy and to a lesser extent but great talent Kevin Gallagher as forwards for City.
Some transfer fees in recent times have been ludicrous for players with less talent.
Vik is exceptional with some flaws. Being amongst better players and in theory better coaches( no slight on Mark or Adi) will improve his impact even more.

I'd be shocked unless the were the only team interested.I’d be gobsmacked if he went to sporting Lisbon
Yeah do well, and your next move is a good Spanish club isn't it.Why? Its a big club and often a gateway club to very big clubs. Can 100% see why someone would go there over a garbage Premier League club like Burnley...

I agree completely, just shutting down the playing down of fairly large European clubs before it begins because Sky have convinced people the English Premier League is the be-all and end-all.Yeah do well, and your next move is a good Spanish club isn't it.
That said, I always thought Germany was a more likely destination if he didn't stay in England, just because his style of play would fit, maybe a Leverkusen type level?
Play in European competition and do well, and it can catapult you up the levels can't it, plus he might actually win a trophy or two. Main issue I'd have with the Sporting rumour is they're an unstable mess, and think he's probably got enough about him not to hurl himself into such a situation!I agree completely, just shutting down the playing down of fairly large European clubs before it begins because Sky have convinced people the English Premier League is the be-all and end-all.

Maybe he'll fly over for a medical and try and convince Porto or Benfica to stick a late bid in as he's passing by.Play in Euopean competition and do well, and it can catapult you up the levels can't it, plus he might actually win a trophy or two.
