Does make sense. They’ve lost Toney, they need a new striker to lead the line and Thomas Frank being a Scandinavian manager might be a good fit for Vik.
Which was always going to happen if any Prem teams genuinely want him.If true that’s just blown Sporting Lisbon out of the water.
West Ham, Palace or Brentford would be the best Prem destinations for him in my view.Does make sense. They’ve lost Toney, they need a new striker to lead the line and Thomas Frank being a Scandinavian manager might be a good fit for Vik.

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 sold up cheaply or it’s going to take a record bid from Sporting.
50mil = 3 players at 17mil...They’ve just sold a player to PSG for 50 so can hardly plead poverty. Hopefully another decent bid will drive price up. Even if his hearts set on Sporting maybe they could get to £20m+ plus huge sell on (30%+). I think Brentford would be a nice option for Vik though
We sold Keane for around £13m.I wish people would stop bumping this thread to the top of the forum every five minutes. Every time I see that happen, I think "So he's gone then".
This may be the first transfer we've been involved in over £6m (Keane was £5.5m?) but the replies are either we've all won the lottery or we've lost our closest, dearest pet goldfish for the 15th time this summer (I wouldn't mind but each time I flush him down the loo, he reappears in the fish bowl on my dresser ??!!).
My nerves are shot and we're not even into preseason yet
I think it will be more than £20mI think we will get 17 plus add ons
I've got a memory of us releasing that we'd actually made a profit on Bellamy. Our initial outlay was under £5.5m, and with add ons it would go upto £6.5m. Because we sold him in the first year, we only hit one add on. Therefore we paid around £5.8m and sold him for £6m to Newcastle.I think we sold bellend for the same money we bought him for - thank feck for that
It's not perfect but Richarlison is sometimes the comparison I make. I went in the away end at Goodison a season or two ago with a mate, and I didn't really have much of a view on him before going despite seeing a lot of him on TV etc. Was only when I was there that I realised how strong and powerful he is and how he can carry (at Watford and Everton anyway) the team up the pitch on his own like Vik does.My mate who actually supports Sporting asked me who Vik is similar to and I couldnt come up with anything, who would you say he is similar to as I think he’s very unique
The Sun?How reliable is that source saying Brentford are preparing a £25m bid?
Tapped someone's phoneThe Sun?
What do you reckon?
Haha didn't realise it was the sun. Crap then.The Sun?
What do you reckon?
Trouble is, it was John Harriott'sTapped someone's phone
I can't find an article on The Sun's website saying that though.The Sun?

That's a month old. They've had a month to 'step up' and nothing.Not looking very hard:
Brentford ready to chase Coventry's £25m man Gyokeres as Toney replacement
BRENTFORD are reportedly prepared to “step up” their pursuit of Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres as they seek a replacement for banned talisman Ivan Toney. Toney, 27, was handed an eigh…www.thesun.co.uk

Brentford prepares first official offer of £25M for Swedish forward, Coventry City player, Viktor Gyokeres (25). [sun]
I honestly can’t remember that well when Bellamy was with us, I was relatively young. why does everyone hate him that much?

@Earlsdon_Skyblue1 - as predicted.Brentford prepares first official offer of £25M for Swedish forward, Coventry City player, Viktor Gyokeres (25). [sun]
He was also 19 and recovering from a serious injury - the setup at the club at the time probably wasn't great either.He was lazy, slagged the club off, and looked like he didn’t care when we were going down.
Also he was a direct replacement for Keane, who was the complete opposite of all those things
Still a cock thoughHe was also 19 and recovering from a serious injury - the setup at the club at the time probably wasn't great either.
Only problem is the story only appears to exist on a Spanish Twitter page!It's a good job some of the people in this thread aren't negotiating this deal. He'd have been sold to Sporting at the first opportunity already.
From the Sun a month ago!Only problem is the story only appears to exist on a Spanish Twitter page!

Toney is banned until the middle of JanuaryAgree about the Toney replacing though when he comes back in November (??!!), that may push Vik out.
But your second point, Thomas Frank is Danish. There are no common factors that I can see. Both being Scandanavian (though both have different football styles) is as inconsequential as France and Germany (or Italy) being European. Unfortunately, they can't even use native languages as a common denominator.
However Brentford do seem to be prepared to splash the cash. Heard that they were looking at Brennan Johnson from Forest for £30m this week
Only problem is the story only appears to exist on a Spanish Twitter page!
Don't disagree but it's more for other reasons.Still a cock though
True but then a glacier has more pace than Kane.Agree it’s hard to make comparisons. Defo not Kane though, who’s lethal in front of goal and probably the best passing CF around. Viks got far more pace, better running with the ball and more powerful than kane
As said above, Viks pretty unique really.
